A chateau near Monte Carlo: this is what we call a masterpiece! Handsome Properties International, Prestige MLS Member based in Charleston, presents one of the most awesome property for sale in the French Riviera.
Located in the beautiful Cap d’Ail just south of Monte Carlo, this impressive chateau is nothing short of exquisite. Commissioned by Sir Edward Mallet in 1892 and designed by Danish architect Hans-Georg Tersling, (famous for having built the Metropole Hôtel in Monaco, as well as the Grand Hotel in Cap Martin), this 14 acre property is in an environmentally protected area on the edge of Monaco. The Château was completed in 1896, and redesigned in 1991. This chateau is just as breathtaking today as it was upon completion!
Over 10,000 square feet, the home boasts of seven bedrooms, and seven bathrooms, with several bedrooms having attached baths and lounges. The garden level living area includes a kitchen, scullery, living and dining rooms, library, and an absolutely breathtaking ballroom. Surrounded by windows, the room receives the perfect natural light to highlight the fresco that adorns the ceiling.
Inspired by the Imperial room at the Wurzburg Residence in Germany, the fresco is the work of artist Tievolo. The room is absolutely magical, with a granite grand staircase entrance, which leads to the tribune of the musicians and the access to the rooftop solarium.
