The Domaine de Valbonne was JFK’s Childhood Summer Home
This property is listed by Mark Harvey of Knight Frank. The price is available upon application with the listing agent.
The Domaine de Valbonne is a magical estate set in the heart of Provence, just steps from the village of Valbonne, and is minutes away from the village of Mougins.
Surrounded by 44 acres of parkland, filled with rare Mediterranean plants, the property is where JFK spent summers as a child when his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, served as Ambassador to Great Britain (1938-1940) in London.
Built in 1920, the almost-12,000 square foot, 9-bedroom domaine has been lovingly modernized by the current owners. The gardens, with rare essences and mature cypress trees, were designed by the prominent French architect Jacques Couëlle (1902-1996), known as the Architect of Billionaires.
The residence amenities include a 25-metre marble swimming pool with pool house, and a tennis court. Perched atop a hill, the home has panoramic views over its gardens and towards the sea.
