The former Kennedy family's French Riviera villa went on sale for $35 million.

The Domaine de Beaumont villa in the south of France, formerly owned by the Kennedy family, is now available for purchase. Situated on a sprawling 44-acre property in the Côte d'Azur countryside, this presidential-approved residence was built in 1920 by renowned French architect Jacques Quelle. From 1938 to 1940, the nine-room mansion served as a country home for the Kennedy family when their father, Joseph Patrick Kennedy, was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. It can now be yours for €31.5 million (or approximately $35 million).

"This is a truly unique property just 10 kilometers from the bustling city of Cannes, where you enter a historic building surrounded by exceptional land and views where peace, privacy and space are important," Bruno Grua, Savills' representative for the French Riviera, told The New York Post.

The 12,486-square-foot Provençal-style villa looks incredibly chic. There's a huge marble staircase, stunning wood trim, gleaming chandeliers and lots of period details.
