Château de l'Horizon, Modern villa in Vallauris, France.

The white coastal residence extends over 500 meters along the Mediterranean Sea, featuring a private port and helicopter landing pad.

American architect Barry Dierks designed this residence in 1932 for actress Maxine Elliott, who invested $350,000 in its construction.

The villa became a social center where Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, and the Duke of Windsor gathered for meetings and events.

The main building contains four floors with sea views from most rooms, complemented by gardens and a swimming pool parallel to the coastline.

The Saudi royal family acquired the property in 1979, transforming it with reinforced concrete structures and adding medical facilities.
