This Grade I listed property in Southern England is set in 136 acres of picturesque parkland, on the market with Knight Frank Country Houses Department.
Designed by English landscaper Humphrey Repton (often thought of as one of the last great gardeners of the 18th century, and a successor to Capability Brown), the gardens were laid out in the late 1700s.
Set on a quiet residential street on Cap d’Antibes, the fabled four-mile peninsula which has attracted the glitterati since the 19th century.
Set on 2 acres of private landscaped gardens overlooking the coast, the villa has a pool with filtered natural sea water and offers direct access to the sea.
Offering total privacy overlooking the the city of Verbania, this luxury villa is set on the shores of Lake Maggiore (Verbano), the less touristy but equally beautiful rival to Lake Como in northern Italy.
The property was put on the market in 2014 and despite multiple price reductions (from €55M to €25M) and a promotional video narrated by Douglas himself released in 2019, there were no serious offers. As of May 2020, the property has been taken off the market.
In the 1920s, Mizner was the most-discussed living architect in America. He was hired in 1924 to transform the city of Boca Raton into "the foremost resort city on the North American continent…a resort as splendid in its entirety as Palm Beach is in spots."
The six bedroom home features elegant riverside rooms with views towards Hammersmith Bridge, London's oldest suspension bridge. The ‘Beach House’ was featured in an illustration in the 1961 classic, Madeline in London, and reveals how little has changed on the River Thames in the last 60 years.
