French Estate with Replica of Pompadour’s Fontainebleau Pavilion

La Casella is on the market for €7,950,000, listed with Knight Frank SNC

Nestled in Opio, in the South of France, this secluded estate blends timeless elegance with rich history.

Designed in the 1960s by Robert Streitz, the architect behind Coco Chanel’s estate, La Pausa, this Provencal property features a replica of Madame de Pompadour’s 1753 neoclassical pavilion from Fontainebleau.

In the 1980s, the estate became home to the late renowned interior designer Tom Parr and his partner Claus Scheinert, who transformed its 12,000 sqm grounds into world-renowned gardens.

With eight terraces, olive groves, lush lawns, and a poolside summer house, the grounds are a stunning fusion of natural beauty and meticulous design.

The estate includes four impressive, south-facing buildings. The Main House spans 300 sqm and boasts an elegant drawing room, newly refurbished kitchen, formal dining room (seating 14), two luxurious suites, a single bedroom, and a vast roof terrace with breathtaking views.

Tom's Cottage offers additional guest accommodation with two double bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) and a third bedroom, while a 200-year-old Provencal stone farmhouse maintains its rustic charm.

An adjoining guest house and a Caretaker's house (100 sqm) complete the property.

With stunning views of the Riviera and the Mediterranean, this serene paradise combines historical charm with modern luxury.

Located just a short drive from Valbonne, Mougins, and Cannes, this estate is a hidden gem in the heart of Provence.
