Artists have long been seduced by the light and landscape of the French Riviera, and the view from this beautiful five-bedroom villa, built this year and new to the market, could be straight out of a Paul Signac neoimpressionist painting (think rolling hills and vineyards). Signac’s Umbrella Pine at Les Canoubiers captures the green vista visible from this villa’s sunny terrace, toward one of St Tropez’s most beloved spots, Canoubiers, known as the Tropezians’ beach.
The beach is a great spot for a swim with a “very safe 200m white sandy beach lined with parasol pine trees, and loved by locals as well as the international glitterati”, says the property’s agent, Mark Harvey of Knight Frank. The beach is just five minutes from the “village” where the cobblestone streets of the former fishing area are lined with shops to rival those in Paris and New York, from Chanel to Louis Vuitton, sandwiched next to La Boulangerie and La Charcuterie.
The house, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, sits on half a hectare abutting vineyards and overlooks the sea.
Everything is pristine new in this modern twist on a Tropezienne house, with its tiled roof and floor, full-height panoramic windows, and top-of-the-range hi-tech features throughout. There is also a 25m pool, fully-equipped gym and movie theatre, as well as private parking, and, most importantly for a home in this part of France, a boules pitch.
Price: 13.568,942 euros ($19.404M).
Agent: Mark Harvey, Knight Frank
