Dedicated fans of filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock have a unique chance to live in a home made famous in one of his classic films. And no, not the boarded-up shack from “The Birds.”
For the first time in 56 years, the grand Château de la Croix des Gardes in Cannes, France, featured in “To Catch a Thief,” is on the market, according to the listing.
The extravagant home is expected to go for between $57 million and $113 million, reports the New York Times. It’s said to have been used toward the end of the film for the masquerade ball scene.
The 13,000-square-foot château was built in 1919 by a Swiss industrialist, and sits on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains of Grasse and even the Alps.
Enjoy the spectacular vantages from the library, drawing room or summer terrace. And to reach one of the six main bedrooms, ascend the large marble staircase.
Emilie Piacentino and Laurence Chaleil of Sotheby’s International Realty are marketing this listing.
If $100 million is out of reach right now, visit the Victorian “Psycho” barn perched on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s roof garden this summer here in New York. It ain’t France — but it’s free.
