Is it a home, a private estate, or perhaps both?

Perched high on a hilltop overlooking the Bay of Cannes on the French Riviera, a one-of-a-kind private estate defines luxury homes on the Cote d'Azur. Listed for $29 million, the property consists of a 75-acre exclusive reserve surrounding a 10,700-square-foot mansion and three additional private villas.

The prestigious property boasts spellbinding views over Cannes, the Leris Islands, and the Esterel Mountains. A picturesque private drive leads past beautifully landscaped gardens, fields of lavender, mature olive groves with century-old trees, manicured lawns, and natural meadows to a circular drive at the main house.

The property could easily be called a private resort with a total of 22 bedrooms, 17 baths, and virtually every conceivable luxury and amenity.

The principal residence features five superb suites, including an entire floor dedicated to a magnificent owner’s suite. The home is grand in every way, offering a vast array of reception rooms, a lounge, a salon, a formal dining room, a library, and a study. Designed with entertaining guests in mind, the home also features entertainment spaces galore, including a bar/nightclub and a gaming room. At the center of it all, the mansion’s traditional French kitchen is a chef’s dream, replete with a wide array of professional-grade appliances and vast counter space. Additional features include a fully equipped gym and fitness suite with a steam room, a sauna, and other spa features.

Three additional villas offer 17 more bedrooms, another 10,700 square feet of living space with amenities of complete luxury. In addition, the property is improved with a tennis court, three luxurious private pools, a cottage for staff, several garages, equestrian facilities, and a private helipad. The Cannes-Mandelieu Airport is a minute or two away via helicopter from the residence.

The airy kitchen features a large center island with an inset cooktop. Chefs will appreciate the professional-grade appliances, ample cabinet space, and an enormous amount of counter space. Courtesy of the property owners & Carlton International

Located outside the quiet little village of Tanneron, which sits halfway between the sea and Lake St. Cassien and is only a half-hour’s drive from Cannes, this prestigious estate offers unmatched seclusion, abundant nature, and panoramic views of this part of the Riviera.

While the overall property is huge, the residence features more intimate areas such as this breakfast nook as well as numerous other cozy areas for reading or entertaining small groups. Courtesy of the property owners & Carlton International
