A SLICE OF THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Mas du Soleil, resting gently on the slope of its Lower Three Arch Bay site with a panoramic vista of the sea, feels as close to the French Riviera as is possible to be. This Provencal-style home, loving creation of its French owner-designers, is romantic in the best sense of the word. Every square foot has the custom details that one expects to find only in homes of yesteryear; thick stone entry steps and stone bridge lead to the entrance with its open, leaded upper-glass double doors. Inside, solid walnut distressed hard wood flooring, Paris hand-plastered walls, exquisitely hand wrought cabinets and bookshelves with delicate faux finishes, antique windows and doors give the home a rich, warm feel. In addition to a c.1780 Living Room fireplace, a hand-carved fireplace graces the master suite, and the family kitchen features its own raised, wood-burning fireplace. Not content with simply a ‘Provence’ look, the couple incorporated hundreds of reclaimed architectural details. Integrated with Olde World architectural pieces is the very best of Modern: a Gaggenau rotisserie wall oven, and a double-oven Le Corneu 5-burner stove, radiant floor heating in bathrooms, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in master shower, outdoor speakers, and more. With its sweeping ocean view, Mas du Soleil’s ambience is also intimate: four fountains, and several beautiful pocket gardens emphasize its French style. Virtually every room opens to a fountain with mature Mediterranean landscape of olive and fruit trees, citrus, roses and herbs. But perhaps the home’s most radiant jewel is its Mediterranean corner terrace with panoramic ocean views and stunning Catalina sunsets. This Riviera beauty is snugly situated with 24-hour guard-gated security, and easy private beach access.
