Villa Rockledge - awe-inspiring ocean-side vistas & history

Full Description: Featured on the LUXURY PROPERTY BLOG. Generations of privileged guests have been enchanted by this astonishing villa, from its exquisite craftsmanship and astonishing views to its rare private beach. Charmed since it first took shape on the high cliffs of Laguna Beach nearly a century ago, the incomparable Villa Rockledge was the vision of Frank A. Miller and Arthur Benton, the developer and architect of Southern California's famous Mission Inn resort in Riverside. Built on a spectacular site Miller had owned since 1887, the estate was created as a gift to his wife, Marion. He called it Mariona. In late 1918, under the watchful eyes of Miller and Benton, the crews and artisans who built the Mission Inn began to craft this stunning residence by hand from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open oceanside porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was handmade. The process took 4 years. As the movie industry emerged, the growing coastal resort and art colony of Laguna Beach became a getaway playground. An invitation to Villa Rockledge was a highly coveted prize. Hollywood luminaries like Clifton Webb, Robert Mitchum and Errol Flynn basked on its private beach. Bette Davis met her future husband, William Grant Sherry, on the mystical estate. In the same hands for 35 years, lovingly restored to its original grandeur, Villa Rockledge is on the National Registry of Historic Places. "Rarely do events of history so conspire to create a private place, privately owned, with a record that traces the life and times of a public place known and revered by countless thousands. Such a place is Villa Rockledge of Laguna Beach, California." Built in 1918 by builder Frank Miller builder of the Mission Inn or Riverside, this three bedroom three and a half bathroom historical landmark, sits built into the cliffs of Laguna Beach. This is a 5,500 square foot home with and office loft, huge great room with vaulted ceilings, two sitting rooms, two kitchens, and it's own private beach. This home is one of a kind! ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY Villa Rockledge is a rare jewel in one of the world's most desirable real estate locations, a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. Stunning in location, and steeped in the best of California's early history, Villa Rockledge sits perfectly juxtaposed between beautiful coastline, world class climate, and Laguna Beach, one of California's most natural, artistic and desirable towns. "The overall quality is complex, dynamic and with a very pleasant sense of mystery. The villa is in excellent, well-maintained condition. One must see it from the ocean side to really appreciate its beauty." - State of California Historic Resources Inventory. In late 1918, under the watchful eyes of iconic historical developers Frank A. Miller and Arthur Benton, the same crews and artisans who built the famous Mission Inn, began to craft this stunning residence by hand - from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open ocean-side porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was handmade. The process took four years. BREATHTAKINGLY UNIQUE - A LEGACY FOR GENERATIONS Miller and Benton filled Villa Rockledge with a dazzling array of "new" Mediterranean and Mission influences that captured the idealized beauty of Early California. Encouraged by Miller, the style would soon sweep Southern California, winning generations of hearts. Soon after, some of Hollywoods most famous movie celebrities came and stayed, an homage to the unique place and style that is still Villa Rockledge today. A true legacy house for generations to come, the views from every window are exquisite. The private beach is both rare and divine, and one of the last available private beaches in California. An esteemed member of the USA's National Registry of Historic Places, a coveted designation which does not prohibit architectural updates, but encourages preservation of historical significance. The soul of Villa Rockledge can only be experienced from standing in the grand foyer, or drinking in the awe-inspiring ocean-side vistas. Weir Properties welcomes your inquiries, and will professionally coordinate an opportunity to step inside this unique, once in a lifetime property. Villa Rockledge is waiting to welcome a new generation of VIP guests. Yours.

Les Bastides de Grimaud Luxury Villa St Tropez

Full Description:

From its elevated position with a majestic sea shore at its feet and, at its centre, a superb steep summit, the medieval village of Grimaud overlooks its famous neighbour, Saint-Tropez, the legendary venue for partying and enjoying life's pleasures by day and by night. Here, everything is about authenticity, the fine art of living, calm and happiness. Even the simplest of days takes on the allure of a living dream. The sun, the song of the cicadas, the umbrella pines, the beautiful blue of the sky and the sea, are all accompanied by a Provencal accent and the scent of thyme and rosemary. Here, amid truly natural surroundings, COGEDIM is creating a private domain with 18 typical Provencal country houses ('bastides'), with private swimming pools, terraces and wooded gardens shielded by hedges. Spacious homes equipped with luxury amenities to enjoy life like no place else on earth.

Prices start from E995.000

The surrounding area is rich in heritage and natural beauty. "Domaine Saint Antoine" is located on the outskirts of the Plaine des Maures and the fringes of the Bois de Rouquan, Le Domaine de Saint Antoine boasts unique features due to its acid soil, Mediterranean climate and a major hydrographical network. Blessed with exceptional natural and biological riches, the site itself is a protected domain. La Plaine des Maures offers all the advantages of a life lived in the great outdoors: walking, cycling, horseback riding, observing the flora and fauna, in particular the jeweled lizards and Hermanns tortoises (a very rare species). Frequent botanical walks are organized to explore the vegetation that flourishes here. Umbrella pines and cork oaks grow alongside varieties of orchids and pitch pines producing the same famous pitch that was once used to caulk planking, waterproof bridges and strengthen the resistance of rigging. Indeed, here in the Bois du Rouquan, visitors can see one of the beautifully restored pitch ovens that form an integral part of Provencal history and heritage, along with many other objects and implements.

Gulf of Saint-Tropez

Against the backdrop of the foothills of the Massif des Maures, looking out on to the splendours of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, lies the medieval village of Grimaud. Its colourful narrow streets, shady squares, vines that produce wine of character, and scented valleys stretch down to the shore where you will find Port-Grimaud, with its superb lifestyle and spectacular Mediterranean scenery.

Just a few minutes away from the festive atmosphere of the Bay

Fashions and starlets come and go... but the sparkle of what is known as the jewel of the French Riviera never loses its fascination. Its timeless charm has the power to seduce all year round. Pulsating under the summer sun, life revolves around the beaches of golden sand, shopping, clubbing and the immaculate yachts in the harbour, which host the most glamorous parties on the Riviera. In an authentic setting, it offers its privileged guests Provencal markets, world famous cuisine, beautiful countryside and shaded coves - a glimpse of paradise, here on earth.

Intimacy and refinement, along a private road

Halfway between the old village of Grimaud and Port-Grimaud, set back from the road leading to the beach, the 18 Provencal Bastides are spread out over the hillside. The natural curves of the land have been used to create Les Bastides de Grimaud, letting nature provide tranquillity and light. Between the branches of the pines and cork oaks and a magnificent cypress tree reaching up towards the sky, there are glimpses of a tiled roof, a glint of sun reflected off a wall... the Bastides nestle amongst the trees, cocooned in their gardens. Positioned around a private swimming pool, each Bastide has its own unique space with privacy guaranteed. Traditional roof tiles, Génoise eave detailing, tiled terraces, wooden shutters and wrought iron railings, lend a Provencal feel to the traditional style of architecture, in keeping with the surroundings.

An architect from Saint Tropez with an excellent reputation and who has won awards for several public and private building projects over the last 25 years, François Vieillecroze is an expert in prestige developments that respect Provencal architectural values. Here he has designed a 4.7-hectare estate at the heart of vineyards and Mediterranean vegetation typical of the area, including the surrounding protected woods, which belong to the estate and guarantee that the surroundings will remain unspoilt.

Due south, live the dream amongst protected countryside...

The Bastides are accessed by private roads, secured by gates and screened by hedges, leading to a private garage. Passing through the elegant front door with its solid wood decor, into the entrance hall for added privacy, you reach the reception-dining room with its large bay windows overlooking the south-facing terrace. Under the restful shade of a pergola or awning, the terrace with its proximity to the pool is the ideal place for relaxation.

At garden level, a master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and dressing room opens out directly on to the garden. Each Bastide has a fully-fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces as well as an adjacent utility room. Upstairs, any of the 3 attractive bedrooms, each fully independent with its own en-suite bath or shower room, would make an ideal room to be used by guests.

The materials and the fixtures and fittings, which have been selected both for their appearance and their quality, provide optimum levels of comfort all year round: electric shutters on the bay windows, pre-installation for a fireplace in the living room, vanity basin units and heated towel rails...Videophone entry system, remote control garage doors and integrated alarm systems ensure safety and privacy.
