ST TROPEZ (March 2017) – Nestled in the private hills of Ramatuelle in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Villa Salmanazar offers idyllic Provençal style living in an exclusive location. The luxurious residence, which offers a helipad and outstanding scenic views across the world-famous bay of Pampelonne, St Tropez is now being exclusively marketed for €19.9 million by Christie's International Real Estate, the world's leading luxury real estate network, and its French Riviera-based affiliate Michaël Zingraf Real Estate.

Approached by either a 20-minute helicopter from Nice airport or by car via St Tropez’s cypress tree and lavender bordered avenues, Villa Salmanazar is an arresting property accessed by a grand staircase draped in flowers and bordered by formal box hedging. Once through the oak panelled front door, a stone-floored reception hall is revealed which leads to a large principal reception room with double aspects views of the surrounding undulating landscape and the Mediterranean Sea.

A home for entertaining, Villa Salmanazar boasts a large fully fitted kitchen which is ideal for professional and casual family cooking. Wrapped around the kitchen, reception and dining room is an array of outside courtyards and large covered terraces which are perfect for alfresco dining. An outdoor kitchen comes complete with a double roasting oven, seating area under a pergola, fire pit and raised stone bar. Any host will also be able to hold decadent soirees by the outdoor swimming pool which is perched in front of a pool cabana and outdoor BBQ area. Additional amenities include a wine cellar, gym and a massage and beauty room.

All eight bedrooms are en-suite including the master bedroom which features a study, bathroom and a large terrace with panoramic sea views, perfect for tranquil relaxation. A self-contained apartment can be used by either staff or visiting guests.

Sandrine Kockum, Associate Director, Christie's International Real Estate said: “Villa Salmanazar exudes the luxury and Provençal lifestyle of St Tropez. When visitors think of St Tropez they visualise the sea, golden beaches, yachts and plethora of fine dining restaurants and Villa Salmanazar offers an opportunity to live in an idyllic home just moments from the allure of the Mediterranean coast.”

Michael Zingraf, CEO of affiliate Michaël Zingraf Real Estate, comments: “Properties of this stature so close to St Tropez rarely come onto the market. The quiet hillside location is ideal, yet the hustle and bustle of St Tropez is just a short drive away. Villa Salmanazar is built around luxury and is a home for a social butterfly and avid entertainer.”
