Description

Set in the heart of a beautifully landscaped 1.5-hectare estate in a dominant position, this exceptional property enjoys panoramic views over the hinterland extending towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Former residence of Jean Marais, an iconic figure of French cinema, and also frequented by Jean Cocteau, “La Muse d’Orphée” embodies a rare blend of artistic heritage and contemporary art de vivre. In the 1950s, Jean Marais acquired this land, captivated by its exceptional panorama and bucolic setting, and commissioned the construction of this remarkable residence.

A privileged meeting place, the villa has welcomed renowned personalities such as Gabrielle Chanel, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre Cardin, united by a shared passion for art and theatre.

A true work of art, the residence showcases noble materials such as stone, bronze, copper, and wood. From the very first moments, the property captivates with its unique character and intimate atmosphere.

The estate comprises a main villa and two independent guest houses, offering a total living space of over 500 sqm.

The main villa features two distinct reception areas, including a spacious 75 sqm living room with sculptural Gaudí-inspired ceilings, as well as a more intimate lounge designed for family living.
In total, the property offers seven en-suite bedrooms.

Entirely envisioned by Jean Marais alongside a Parisian architect and later renovated in 2001, the property reveals a timeless elegance.

The 30-meter-long swimming pool, clad in natural Corsican river stone, evokes the deep blues of the sea and stands as one of the estate’s signature features. The setting is further enhanced by an olive grove of over 300 mature trees and private garden areas.

Additional amenities include a Balinese-style jacuzzi with stunning, open views, a large summer kitchen and BBQ area ideal for entertaining, several large terrace spaces, and a large garage that can accommodate several vehicles.

An intimate and private haven — a place dedicated to pleasure, serenity, and the finest art of living.
