The only private property of the Lérins islands, built in the heart of Île Sainte-Marguerite, can be yours for a tidy sum of 45 million euro.

The stunning property boasts 17 room and a surface area of 1200m2, with panoramic sea views, swimming pool, and grounds of 14000m2. Originally bought in 2008 by Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, this unique piece of luxury real estate rests on the largest of the four islands of Lérins, about half a mile off shore of Cannes.

The property consists of several separate structures, with a main 17th century building, and an accompanying 13th century keep. All this is set amongst a garden paradise of fountains and ponds and native plants and trees. Top this off with a swimming pool with 700m2 terrace and summer kitchen, wine cellar, home cinema, and wellness centre, this property even comes with its own heliport. See pictures and more here.
