Tour Brigitte Bardot’s former country house in the South of France
French actress Brigitte Bardot moved into this 13th-century stone country house in 1958, when legend has it local boys would climb the trees and walls in an effort to catch a glimpse of one of the most beautiful women in the world relaxing by her pool. Within walking distance of the quaint village of Peymeinade, the property was completely renovated between 1998 and 2011. The main home includes a formal living room with an original Louis XIV fireplace and French doors leading out to the terrace. One of eight bedrooms, the master suite has a salon with a fireplace and built-in library, as well as a private terrace. Stairs descend from the main home to the infinity pool and loggia. Other outdoor highlights include an entertaining pavilion with a fireplace and a kitchen. There is also a poolhouse and a guesthouse with its own infinity pool. Grounds feature an olive grove, citrus trees, three vineyards, cypress trees, and views of the Estérel Mountains and Cannes Bay beyond.
Currently for sale and listed for $5,661,750, this 6,458-square-foot home sits on 1.46 acres and includes 8 bedrooms and 8.5 baths. Contact: Beauchamp Estates, +33-493-94-45-45; beauchamp.com
