Historic Triplex in Cannes' Château Scott with Panoramic Sea Views
Set within the historically rich and architecturally magnificent domain of Château Scott in Cannes' sought-after La Californie district, this triplex apartment offers a remarkable blend of history, luxury, and artistry. Constructed by the renowned London architect Thomas Smith and local mason Scavy between 1868 and 1872, the estate is a testament to eclectic gothic and English architectural styles, featuring red Estérel sandstone facades with limestone accents, composite order porticoes, and gothic-inspired vegetal sculptures. This property, which spans 380 sqm of living space, includes five bedrooms, a study, a separate kitchen, and a vast living room that opens onto a 200 sqm terrace with a pool and stunning sea views. Additional luxuries include a sauna, relaxation area, and extensive parking. Once a gathering place for notable figures such as Lord Wolverton and William Ewart Gladstone, and celebrated for grand social events, Château Scott combines historical significance with modern amenities, making it a unique offering just minutes from La Croisette. The property is part of a co-ownership of 8 lots, with annual charges of around €23,168.
