Maison à vendre, 852m², Èze

Description

SHANGRI-LA The Mediterranean at Your Doorstep There are Riviera villas with sea views, and then there are homes that seem to belong to the Mediterranean itself. Set directly on the shoreline at Eze-sur-Mer, Shangri-La occupies an extraordinary position between Nice and Monaco, where landscaped gardens meet the water and the sea becomes part of everyday life. Elegant yet wonderfully private, substantial yet intimately connected to its surroundings, this exceptional waterfront estate captures something increasingly difficult to find on the Côte d’Azur: space, tranquillity and direct access to the Mediterranean. A RARE PIECE OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA Shangri-La is distinguished first and foremost by its position. Facing south and set within approximately 2,855 m² of landscaped grounds, the property sits directly on the seafront, with the beach and translucent Mediterranean waters immediately beyond its terraces. Mature trees and established planting frame the residence, creating a sense of privacy and permanence, while generous terraces open towards uninterrupted sea views. Here, the Mediterranean is not simply a panorama in the distance. It is the defining presence of the estate—the view from the windows, the horizon beyond the terraces and the soundtrack to life outdoors. LIFE AT THE WATER’S EDGE Days at Shangri-La naturally gravitate towards the sea. Mornings begin with light moving across the water afternoons unfold between the gardens, terraces and swimming pool evenings invite long dinners outside as the Mediterranean changes colour with the fading sun. Among the estate’s most unusual features is a private boat garage accommodating vessels of up to eight metres. It creates a remarkably direct connection with the coastline and offers a privilege increasingly rare along this celebrated stretch of the French Riviera. It is a home conceived not simply for looking at the Mediterranean, but for living beside it. THE HOUSE The principal residence extends to approximately 852 m², combining generous proportions with an elegant architectural language and interiors designed around light, views and entertaining. At its heart is an impressive sea-facing salon, where soaring ceilings and full-height panoramic windows draw the Mediterranean into the room. A marble fireplace adds a more classical note, balancing the openness and luminosity of the space. The dining room continues naturally onto a large sea-view terrace, allowing lunches and dinners to move effortlessly between indoors and out. A fully equipped professional kitchen supports both family life and larger-scale entertaining, while two separate studies offer peaceful spaces for reading, working or retreating from the more social areas of the house. Throughout, the architecture maintains a constant dialogue with the landscape: windows frame the coastline, terraces extend the interiors and the Mediterranean repeatedly reappears from room to room. PRIVATE QUARTERS Five beautifully appointed bedroom suites form the principal private accommodation. Each has been conceived as an individual retreat, with its own terrace, custom dressing room and marble en-suite bathroom, allowing family and guests to enjoy both privacy and independence. Natural light and direct access to the exterior reinforce the sense of living close to the landscape, while the generous proportions and private terraces lend each suite the atmosphere of a secluded Riviera hideaway. GARDENS, TERRACES & POOL Outside, approximately 2,855 m² of predominantly level landscaped grounds provide an exceptional setting for Riviera life. Mature trees and fruit trees create shade and privacy, while expansive terraces provide a succession of spaces for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the view. The south-facing orientation makes the most of the Mediterranean light, while the gardens soften the transition between the villa and the shoreline. A spectacular heated swimming pool with an adjustable-depth floor adds another dimension to outdoor living, offering flexibility for swimming, relaxation and family use. A PRIVATE WELLNESS RETREAT Shangri-La has the atmosphere of a private Mediterranean resort, with wellness integrated discreetly into the residence. On the lower level, a dedicated spa area includes a hammam, sauna and fully equipped gym, together with shower and changing facilities. It is a quiet, self-contained sanctuary designed for exercise, relaxation and wellbeing without ever leaving the privacy of home. SPACE FOR FAMILY, GUESTS & STAFF Complementing the main residence is an entirely independent house of approximately 160 m² with three additional bedrooms. The separate accommodation offers considerable flexibility, whether reserved for visiting family and friends, longer-staying guests or resident staff. Its independence allows the principal villa to retain its sense of privacy even when the estate is fully occupied. COMFORT WITHOUT COMPROMISE Behind Shangri-La’s classical Riviera character lies the infrastructure of a thoroughly contemporary residence. A private elevator connects all three floors, while underfloor heating and reversible air conditioning provide year-round comfort. A secure garage accommodates five vehicles and incorporates its own car-washing facility, while an alarm system, electric entrance gate and video surveillance provide comprehensive security. Combined with the private boat garage, these features allow the property to function effortlessly as either a principal residence or an international second home. ÈZE-SUR-MER Between Nice and Monaco Between the energy of Nice and the glamour of Monaco lies one of the French Riviera’s most evocative stretches of coastline. Èze-sur-Mer unfolds beneath dramatic limestone cliffs, its shoreline edged by clear Mediterranean water and sheltered by the steep green landscape rising towards the medieval village of Èze. The atmosphere is distinctly more discreet than that of its celebrated neighbours. Villas disappear among mature gardens, secluded beaches punctuate the coastline, and the Mediterranean remains the focus of daily life. Swimming, sailing and paddleboarding are natural pursuits here, while the legendary Nietzsche Path climbs from Èze-sur-Mer towards the medieval village above, revealing increasingly spectacular views across the coast. Yet for all its sense of escape, Shangri-La remains remarkably connected. Monaco is approximately 9 km away, Nice approximately 10 km, and Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport approximately 18 km from the property. Cannes lies approximately 55 km along the coast. It is this combination of privacy and accessibility that makes Èze-sur-Mer one of the Côte d’Azur’s most compelling residential locations.

A substantial private estate directly on the Mediterranean, combining generous landscaped grounds, extensive accommodation, independent guest quarters, wellness facilities, substantial garaging and private access for a boat represents an increasingly rare proposition on the French Riviera. Some Riviera properties overlook the Mediterranean. Shangri-La lives upon it. Honoraires Agency fees payable by the vendor
