This extraordinary 18th-century château blends aristocratic elegance with an eclectic artistic spirit. Originally a hunting lodge, it was transformed by an influential French family into a grand bastide in the 19th century. Today, the château is adorned with a rare and vibrant collection of 1980s graffiti and contemporary art, infusing its classical architecture with bold creativity. Highlights such as turreted corners and an original spiral staircase—rumored to be designed by Gustave Eiffel—reflect the estate’s rich history and distinctive character.

The château is spread across four levels connected by an elevator and boasts three independent suites. The garden level offers two bedrooms with private bathrooms, one of which is a family suite with an additional connected bedroom able to accommodate four guests, and a large wine cellar. The ground floor features an expansive living area with several salons, a refined main lounge, an elegant dining room, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, an entertainment area complete with a games room, and a remarkable library, along with one en-suite bedroom. The first floor hosts five en-suite bedrooms, including a stunning master suite with a generous dressing area, a private office, and a sun-drenched terrace. On the top floor, there are two more en-suite bedrooms. Additionally, three en-suite bedrooms with independent access are located in the annex.

The exteriors feature beautifully landscaped parkland set against the stunning backdrop of the protected natural scenery of the Calanques, a children's playground, and a picturesque fish pond. Guests can also enjoy the free-form heated infinity pool, a poolside lounge area, an al fresco dining area complete with a summer kitchen and outdoor bar, several terraces for lounging or sunbathing, and the exceptional tranquility of a private estate infused with heritage and artistic flair—just moments from the Mediterranean coastline.
