On the Côte d’Azur, in the seaside resort town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, a contemporary hillside estate sits high above the bay, designed to follow the contours of the land while opening fully to views of the Mediterranean.

Covering nearly two acres, the tiered property is arranged to step down the hillside, with clean architectural lines, white cubic volumes, and expansive glass defining its 9,870-square-foot interior. Manicured hedges and stone retaining walls soften the geometry outside, where a pool, spa, padel court, and outdoor cinema capitalize on the tranquil vantages and extend daily life into the landscape. The property is available at $69.37 million via Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty.

The property was fully rebuilt in recent years, according to press materials. The double living room is split into two volumes, with one side rising to a double-height ceiling. Rusticated stone walls and three-dimensional wood paneling bring its large proportions together, while sliding doors with contrasting black frames open directly onto a terrace overlooking the terraced grounds.

In the kitchen, a sculptural island in white Bianco Curia marble doubles as a breakfast bar that seats at least six. Linear LED lighting runs through the space, highlighting warm wood cabinetry, a hanging pot rack, and a built-in wine fridge. In the nearby dining room, brass-accented stone artwork and a boulder-inspired light fixture above the table reinforce the use of natural materials within the crisp, modern design. A skylight-topped staircase leads to a library, cinema, game room with bar, wine cellar and tasting room, gym, and a separate guest apartment.

Seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms are spread across the house, including the primary bedroom suite. Picture waking up on a sunny morning, sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors open, and stepping out onto a balcony to catch the sea breeze. A boutique-style walk-in closet is another of the suite’s key amenities, along with a bathroom decked out with dual rain showers that open out to a balcony with a copper-wrapped soaking tub. Elsewhere, a sunlit atrium is visible from a bunk room, as well as the guest apartment’s living and dining areas. 

There’s more to discover across the outdoor grounds, including landscaped gardens—one of which encompasses a reflecting pool, a koi fish pond, alfresco dining and lounge areas shaded by pergolas, a summer kitchen, and the swimming pool. A turf padel court and a pétanque court complete the Mediterranean estate that makes everyday living feel like a never-ending vacation.
