HISTORIC DUPLEX AT CHÂTEAU SCOTT — 374 SQM, POOL, 180° SEA VIEW

CANNES CALIFORNIE

Within the prestigious private domain of Château Scott, in the heart of the highly sought-after California district of Cannes, this exceptionally rare property embodies the true soul of the French Riviera: a masterful blend of architectural heritage, living history, and Mediterranean art of living.

Built between 1868 and 1872 by the London architect Thomas Smith and the Cannes master mason Scavy, commissioned by Michel Hughes Scott, this Neo-Gothic château, listed in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage, stands as one of the most emblematic residences of the Côte d'Azur.

A place of memory, the Château Scott welcomed in 1883 the British Prime Minister William Gladstone, invited by Lord Wolverton, along with a distinguished clientele drawn from European aristocracy. Captivated by its unique character, several filmmakers have also chosen this setting to shoot scenes for their films.

This exceptional duplex of approximately 374 sqm unfolds across three levels, from the garden floor to the noble upper floors, in a refined atmosphere where every volume tells a piece of history. On the garden level, a vast reception salon with exceptional ceiling heights opens onto a private 120 sqm terrace with private swimming pool.

The noble floors host five spacious bedrooms, including a master suite opening onto the sea view and enjoying its own 30 sqm terrace—all reflecting the heritage character of the property: period moldings, cathedral-like volumes, abundant natural light, and a panoramic 180° sea view embracing the Bay of Golfe-Juan, Cap d'Antibes, the Estérel mountains, and the Lérins Islands.

Complementing this duplex, the lower level features two private garages, a vaulted cellar, laundry area, fitness room and sauna, offering the essential comfort worthy of such an exceptional standard—all within a gated, 24-hour secured estate, ensuring the serenity and confidentiality of its residents.

Currently in good condition, the property offers its next owner the rare opportunity to personalize it to their taste and fully reveal its heritage potential—a privilege that has become inaccessible in renovated properties of equivalent standing.

Just 10 minutes from La Croisette, the Palais des Festivals, and the private beaches, in one of the most sought-after districts in Europe, this duplex represents far more than a real estate acquisition: a living piece of French Riviera history, transmitted for nearly 160 years, now seeking its next chapter.
