Sean Connery's French Riviera Villa Hits Market at €23.5 Million

Sean Connery's former French Riviera estate, known locally as the “Bond Villa,” has been listed for sale with an asking price around €23.5 million ($26.4 million US). The Villa Roc Fleuri, an Art Deco mansion built in 1930, offers over 10,000 square feet of living space with original period features like mosaic inlays, intricate ceiling mouldings, wood paneling, wrought-iron bannisters, and its own elevator. Perched on a terraced hillside in Nice, it boasts panoramic views of the Mediterranean, the port, and Cap d’Antibes, with manicured gardens leading down to the sea. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence spans five levels, including a grand hall with floor-to-ceiling windows, a primary suite with his-and-hers bathrooms and a private balcony, and outdoor amenities such as a rooftop entertaining deck, built-in barbecue, and winding garden pathways. The property also features a spa complex with a gym, an indoor heated infinity pool overlooking the sea, a wine cellar, and a separate caretaker's apartment. This iconic home, where Connery lived with his wife Micheline Roquebrune and which appeared in the Bond film "Never Say Never Again," embodies luxurious Mediterranean living with a rich cinematic legacy.
