Exceptional places are few and far between. “Le Grand Jardin” is one of the wonders of the Mediterranean. The only private property on the island of Sainte-Marguerite, which together with Saint-Honorat forms the archipelago of the Iles de Lérins off Cannes, the estate extends over almost 14,000m2 and is protected by a stone wall built at the request of Cardinal Richelieu. Nestled in the heart of the Ile Sainte Marguerite, “Le Grand Jardin” has been offered for sale by our real estate agency on a co-exclusive basis. After many months of renovation and work, this privileged setting reopened its doors in the spring of 2022.
ILE SAINTE MARGUERITE - Exceptional property in the heart of the Lerins Islands
This exceptional property is now available for rent from Magrey & Sons. This legendary property is the only one of its kind on the island, and was home to such royalty and celebrities as Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, the Duke of Guise and the Governor of Provence. The main residence and its 13th-century panoramic watchtower are surrounded by botanical gardens that have been cultivated for centuries. The vegetation is exceptional, with cypresses, cedars of Lebanon, palms, olive trees, fruit trees and a thousand-scented flowers. Remarkable wildlife completes this idyllic picture.
In recent months, the acquisition of this exceptional property by a private company has led to major investments in renovation, restoring the historic character of the Grand Jardin and bringing it up to the highest luxury standards.
Warm, tastefully decorated living spaces restore the property to the standing it deserves.
The property includes several villas and cottages capable of hosting exceptional private events alongside the Croisette's most iconic events, such as the Cannes Film Festival and MIPIM.
In all, the property boasts 12 bedrooms, a vast reception area, a spa and two swimming pools. Additional à la carte services are available on request.
