Historic Luxury Triplex Apartment in Cannes La Californie with Panoramic Sea Views
Located in the prestigious La Californie district of Cannes, this 380 sqm luxury triplex apartment occupies part of the historic Château Scott, one of the French Riviera's most remarkable 19th-century residences. The property enjoys panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea, and is just minutes from La Croisette, the beaches and the city centre.
Built between 1868 and 1872 by renowned London architect Thomas Smith, in collaboration with local master builder Scavy, Château Scott is an architectural masterpiece inspired by English Gothic Revival design, and remains one of Cannes' most iconic historic residences.
The main floor features a magnificent living room, opening directly onto a sea-view terrace with a private swimming pool. This level also includes a dining room, a study and a fully equipped independent kitchen.
The upper floors accommodate 5 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or shower room. The principal suite enjoys a large private balcony with panoramic Mediterranean views, and dressing areas, while one of the additional bedrooms features a charming mezzanine level.
Nearly 200 sqm of private outdoor living space allow residents to fully embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle.
The lower level is dedicated to wellness and practical amenities, featuring a private sauna, wine cellar and extensive storage facilities. Two private garages and several additional parking spaces complete the property—an exceptionally valuable feature in this highly sought-after residential area of Cannes.
Once an exclusive gathering place for distinguished British figures including Lord Wolverton and former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, Château Scott represents a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of the city's architectural heritage.
This remarkable triplex apartment is perfectly suited as a prestigious primary residence, an exceptional holiday home or a landmark investment in French Riviera luxury real estate.
