Modernist villa with panoramic sea view and pool, Cap de Nice
Co-exclusive, exceptional modernist villa on the Cap de Nice
Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to present one of the most iconic modernist villas on the Cap de Nice, a private address shaped by light and imagined by architect Honoré Toscan, just minutes from the heart of Nice and its famous beaches.
Built in the early 1960s, the renowned Villa Pourquoi Pas stands as a manifesto of coastal modernism. Its cubic architecture, elevated on high stilts anchored in the rock, forms a bold silhouette, almost floating above the Mediterranean. Clean lines, sculptural volumes, and transparency create a seamless connection between the architecture and the seascape, embodying the most elegant form of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle.
Situated on the waterfront, the villa offers direct access to the sea and a spectacular panorama from Nice to Cap-Ferrat. Large floor-to-ceiling windows frame the horizon like living paintings, erasing the boundaries between inside and out and immersing residents in Mediterranean light and the ever-changing colors of the sea.
Spanning 247 m², the villa features an elegant and functional interior layout. The main level hosts a nearly 90 m² reception area combining living room, dining room, and open kitchen, all bathed in natural light and oriented toward the sea. The sleeping area comprises four bedrooms, including an exceptional master suite with dressing room and refined bathroom, and three additional bedrooms with bathrooms, designed to offer comfort and privacy for family and guests. A fully equipped gym harmoniously integrated into the architecture completes the private spaces and enhances the villa’s uniqueness.
The villa has been fully restored with high-quality materials and exceptional finishes. Wood, natural stone, clean lines, and transparency restore the original modernist elegance while ensuring flawless contemporary comfort.
Outside, the infinity pool visually extends the Mediterranean, creating a perfect fusion between water, horizon, and architecture. Every moment, sunrise, midday light, or golden evening glow, becomes a rare and memorable sensory experience. A double parking area completes this exceptional property, a true architectural masterpiece suspended above the sea, in one of the most sought-after areas of the French Riviera.
Discover this exceptional villa with Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty and experience the Mediterranean lifestyle at its most refined.
