Historic Château with Sea View and Exceptional Park in la Panouse

Property Description

Set in the heart of a beautifully landscaped park of over 14,000 sqm, this character Château, built in 1881 by a Dutch shipowner, rises proudly on its rocky outcrop, sheltered from all disturbance. It blends Venetian-inspired terrazzo floors with refined Art Deco elements, including a remarkable sweeping staircase, stained-glass windows, and sandblasted glass doors.

The property offers over 320 sqm of living space across two levels, complemented by an independent studio of approximately 55 sqm. It features a spacious living room, a separate kitchen, five suites, and a study with sea views.

A 200 sqm terrace houses three cellars, while a 150 sqm rooftop, accessible by elevator or staircase, enjoys panoramic views over the Bay of Marseille and its islands.

Hidden from view, a large south-facing swimming pool (13 x 7 m) blends seamlessly into the Mediterranean vegetation.

A closed garage completes the property, along with outdoor parking.

The house is fully equipped with a ducted heating and air-conditioning system powered by heat pumps, double glazing, and electric roller shutters throughout.

A privileged setting, with shops just 5 minutes away by car, a bus stop 800 m away, and hiking trails within a 5-minute walk.

Classified as an Exceptional Site by the City of Marseille, this rare property also lends itself to a high-end guesthouse project.
