L'aiglon Roquebrune Cap Martin

Villa L'Aiglon - Roquebrune-Cap-Martin



An elegant, historic residence overlooking Monaco

Named by the current owners as L’Aiglon, the name reflects the majestic setting of this property and its dominant position above the Principality. 

Approached via a winding one-way boulevard, two ancient, protected, Banyan trees announce the discreet entrance which is gently set back from the road and affords a subtlety to the property. 

Built in 1891, for the Blanc family who founded the ‘Société des Bains de Mer’ in Monaco, a corner stone of the outstanding cultural and entertainment facilities in the principality which remain to this day.  

The impressive architecture and setting of this historic home is recognised by the Bâtiments de France which listed the property façade as ‘remarquable’ highlighting the importance of the residence, both architecturally, culturally and historically. 

The current owners purchased the property in the early 1980s and completed a full renovation project  which has preserved the elegance and character of the property due to the quality of materials used and calibre of the work undertaken.

The Florentine style residence is perfectly positioned within the spacious landscaped grounds of 2,665 sq m, designed to maximise the setting and views. Featuring a swimming pool, extensive terraces and an exceptional panorama, the grounds include a range of trees and Mediterranean planting.

 

The main property, of approximately 686 sq m is approached via a pillar lined entrance, accommodation including 10 bedrooms is set over five levels with a majestic entrance hall as a prelude to the lateral reception floor comprising an elegant dining room, an study, a kitchen, and a double reception room of perfect proportions featuring an original fireplace and detailed wood paneled and coffered ceiling. 

In addition, separated from the main residence by the extensive swimming pool, a two-story guest house of 205 sq m, featuring five guest bedrooms, completes this exceptional property. Externally the property includes a spacious garage for two vehicles.
