Architect-designed contemporary villa overlooking Monaco in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
An architect-designed artist's residence overlooking Monaco and the Mediterranean
Some homes are defined by their architecture. Others by the lives they have inspired. This remarkable residence embodies both.
Nestled at the entrance to the medieval village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, only minutes from Monaco, this extraordinary contemporary villa was commissioned during the 1970s by an American contemporary artist and his wife, an established art dealer and gallery owner. Designed by the Polish architect Janusz Matecki, the house was conceived not simply as a family residence but as a living creative environment where art, architecture and the Mediterranean landscape become inseparable.
Offering approximately 300 sqm of living space arranged across four levels, the property follows the natural contours of the hillside with remarkable elegance. Every floor opens onto breathtaking panoramic views encompassing the Mediterranean Sea, Cap Martin and the skyline of the Principality of Monaco, creating an ever-changing backdrop shaped by the Riviera's exceptional light.
Surrounded by approximately 1,600 sqm of beautifully landscaped Mediterranean gardens, the residence features four elegant en-suite bedrooms, including two with mezzanine levels inspired by traditional artist studios. Throughout the interiors, generous volumes, natural light and carefully framed perspectives reinforce the home's original artistic vocation.
The location itself contributes to the property's unique identity. Just a few steps away stand two of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin's most iconic landmarks: the legendary thousand-year-old olive tree and the former residence of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, reminders of the rich artistic and cultural heritage that has attracted writers, collectors, designers and international personalities to this remarkable village for generations.
The beaches of Golfe Bleu and La Buse are less than ten minutes away, while Monaco can be reached in approximately fifteen minutes and the Italian border in less than twenty.
A particularly rare opportunity is also available to acquire the artist's historic gallery located within the medieval village, allowing future owners to preserve an exceptional architectural and artistic legacy rarely encountered on the French Riviera.
Far more than a contemporary villa, this is a collector's residence where architecture, creativity and history converge in one of the Riviera's most prestigious locations.
