A sumptuous palace worthy of Versailles is currently available for sale near Cannes.

A sumptuous palace worthy of Versailles is currently available for sale near Cannes for 120 million euros, a transaction reserved exclusively for billionaires. The 2.5-hectare Croix-des-Gardes estate is a luxury property of unrivalled rarity and prestige.

Located in the hills above Cannes, this enchanting palace cannot go unnoticed. Its architecture harmoniously blends Byzantine and Venetian styles, giving it a unique aura. Put up for sale several years ago, this exceptional property is attracting the interest of prestige real estate enthusiasts around the world, although it is only accessible to a privileged few.

With 3,000 square meters of living space, this sumptuous residence offers a luxurious Cannes setting combined with Venetian elegance. It comprises 13 rooms, including 9 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, featuring architectural elements such as monumental columns and refined moldings reminiscent of Italy. The surrounding 2.5-hectare grounds add to the grandeur of this exceptional property. What's more, a multitude of services and facilities are available to future occupants, meeting all their needs and desires.

Indeed, this prestigious residence offers an impressive list of amenities including a private nightclub, exclusive cinema room, tennis court, award-winning wine cellar, hammam, sauna, fully-equipped gym and elevator providing convenient access to all levels of the property. The exterior doesn't disappoint either, with a majestic swimming pool, a magnificent lake and secluded woods, all nestled in the heart of a verdant oasis.

This architectural masterpiece came into being thanks to the ambitions of a wealthy Saudi who launched the works in 1988. Although work was interrupted at one point, it was finally completed in 1999. Despite its magnificence and complete furnishings, this exceptional residence has curiously never been lived in since its construction. It awaits its first occupant, who will undoubtedly be captivated by the breathtaking views it offers, overlooking the bay and facing the sea. However, it should be noted that this extraordinary property is not for sale at any price.
