Picture The only troglodyte villa for sale on the island of Cavallo for €10 million

Today, we take a look at a real architectural feat. This magnificent villa, which at first glance looks more like a collection of straw huts or caves, is for sale for 10 million euros on the tiny island of Carvallo between Corsica and Sardinia. The villa was designed by the famous French architect Savin Couëlle. From cave-like interiors to a private beach...

This unique villa combines all the elements of Savin Couëlle's work: the re-use of local materials (stone, wood), the creation of sculptural staircases and the predominance of the colour white. His villas often follow the rule of facing the sea, offering breathtaking panoramic views. This 350 square metre waterfront property is no exception. Nestled into the rocky coastline, it is barely noticeable at first glance, with wooden awnings that look like they've been washed away by the waves yet adorn the terraces.

As you enter, the sculptural white forms create the sensation of being inside a cave, while wide openings offer uninterrupted ocean views, overlooking a small, exclusive beach. With 5 bedrooms and spectacular reception areas, it also has its own sandy beach and a mooring in the island's private harbour for a 30-metre boat.

Built in 1990, this property is an important example of Couelle's work and your chance to buy a truly unique architectural gem.
