Description

Villa L’Estòbi — A True Waterfront Residence Facing Île des Vieilles

Occupying an exceptional front-row waterfront setting in Anthéor, Villa L’Estòbi stands directly on the Mediterranean, facing Île des Vieilles and the protected islets of Cap Roux. No public coastal path runs alongside the property, and the rugged shoreline is inaccessible to tourists, creating a level of privacy rarely found on the French Riviera.

Set on an unusually flat 2,002 sq m lot — approximately half an acre — the residence offers around 310 sq m, or 3,337 sq ft, of living space. The landscaped grounds, expansive terraces and heated 17 × 7 metre swimming pool — approximately 56 × 23 feet — open seamlessly toward the sea and the red cliffs of the Estérel.

Five years of design and construction were devoted to integrating the villa naturally into its surroundings. Local red stone echoes the coastline, while Carrara marble, glass, high-performance aluminium, marine-grade stainless steel and weathering steel create an understated, enduring architecture specifically suited to the coastal environment.

Each of the three principal suites enjoys its own private bathroom and unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and Île des Vieilles. A separate suite provides independent accommodation for guests or staff. The flexible layout also allows for the creation of up to five full suites without compromising the proportions or elegance of the living and entertaining areas.

The property enjoys direct private access to the sea, together with the exclusive use of a landing pontoon under a renewable maritime agreement, allowing arrival by tender or small boat when conditions permit.

The coastline surrounding Anthéor and Cap Roux is now highly protected, both on land and at sea. Within this preserved environment, recreating a comparable property — a recently built residence on a large, level waterfront plot, with immediate sea access and uninterrupted island views — has become virtually impossible.

Villa L’Estòbi offers more than a Mediterranean view. It offers the rare privilege of living directly on the water, facing the islands, in near-total privacy.
