La Maison des Rêves: A 1913 Belle Époque Jewel Between Cannes & Saint-Tropez

Perched between the golden allure of Cannes and the bohemian charm of Saint-Tropez, this 1913 masterpiece by architect Gaston Messiah emerges like a forgotten verse from a Provençal love poem. Here, where the Mediterranean whispers against the cliffs and the scent of wild lavender drifts on the salt-kissed breeze, time slows to the rhythm of a bygone era—yet every modern indulgence awaits.

The estate unfolds across 2.5 hectares of landscaped wonder, a living tapestry of Mediterranean flora where century-old olives stand sentinel over sun-dappled pathways. A private vineyard, yielding some 400 bottles of estate-grown wine annually, offers the rare pleasure of savoring terroir cultivated by your own hand. Two shimmering pools mirror the azure sky—one, an infinity-edge lagoon dissolving into the horizon; the other, a secluded retreat beside the 102 m² guest house, where loved ones linger in effortless elegance.

The main residence, a 480 m² symphony of Belle Époque craftsmanship, balances grand proportions with intimate warmth. Original details—soaring ceilings, wrought-iron balustrades, and windows framed by climbing roses—hint at a century of whispered secrets and champagne toasts. A 65 m² caretaker’s cottage ensures discreet service, while a double garage, sports field, and private well grant the freedom of a self-sufficient paradise.

This is more than a home; it is a legacy. A place where dawn breaks over the Esterel mountains, where evenings dissolve into al fresco dinners beneath a canopy of stars, and where every corner—from the vine-laced pergolas to the hidden garden nooks—invites you to write the next chapter of its storied history. Between the glamour of the Côte d’Azur and the untamed beauty of Provence, this is where life becomes art.
