SALE : MAGNIFICENT WATERFRONT PROPERTY - BONIFACIO - CAVALLO Bonifacio, Corsica 20169 Frankrijk

Off the coast of Bonifacio, Cavallo Island once again unveils an exceptional waterfront property – a true landmark of the island and a piece of its history. It was the early 1970s when an architect and painter returned to Europe after living for many years with his wife on a deserted island in Polynesia. He met Jean Castel, the king of Parisian nightlife and owner of Cavallo Island. With a clear vision in mind, the future owners explored the island in search of the most secluded plot of land on which to build their home. They set their sights on a rocky promontory at the northern tip of the island, facing the Bonifacio coastline. There, the architect designed and built a magnificent stone-and-wood house, perfectly nestled among a labyrinth of monumental granite boulders and seamlessly integrated into its natural surroundings. It was a monumental undertaking at the time, given the lack of infrastructure and the absence of what would later become Cavallo’s marina. More than fifty years later, this iconic property on Cavallo Island seems to have been frozen in time – a place of great simplicity and, above all, rare elegance. The signature of a truly remarkable architect’s home.
