An elegant, historic residence overlooking Monaco

Named by the current owners as L’Aiglon, the name reflects the majestic setting of this property and its dominant position above the Principality.

A Historic Riviera Property

Built in 1891, by architect Henri Schmidt, at the request of Camille Blanc, the property bears witness to the history of the Riviera.

Built in 1891, for the Blanc family who founded the ‘Société des Bains de Mer’ in Monaco, a corner stone of the outstanding cultural and entertainment facilities in the principality which remain to this day.  

The impressive architecture and setting of this historic home is recognised by the Bâtiments de France which listed the property façade as ‘remarquable’ highlighting the importance of the residence, both architecturally, culturally and historically. 

Beautifully Restored

The residence was purchased in 1924 by Léonid Davidoff, a Monaco based Entrepreneur who retained the original residence, true to its initial form.

The current owners purchased the property in the early 1980s and completed a full renovation project  which has preserved the elegance and character of the property due to the quality of materials used and calibre of the work undertaken.

The Florentine style residence is perfectly positioned within the spacious landscaped grounds of 2,665 sq m, designed to maximise the setting and views. Featuring a swimming pool, extensive terraces and an exceptional panorama, the grounds include a range of trees and Mediterranean planting.
