Celebrity real estate: f. Scott fitzgerald’s house for sale

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since..." begins The Great Gatsby. It may well have been to buy a villa in Cap d'Antibes, judging by the latest author's abode to hit the market: a lavish French villa that was once the home of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

What the listing does not make clear is that Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda actually owned several properties in the French Riviera, explains Curbed. One property, the Villa St. Louis, has been converted into a hotel, while another, Villa Paquita, was sold to the Hemingways. This villa is the third, a French holiday home where the couple spent the summer of 1925 while living in Paris.

The Great Gatsby was famously written in the French Riviera, which gives this already sumptuous property even more of a boost. Not that it needs it: the villa boasts a swimming pool, a sauna, seven bedrooms and bathrooms, direct beach access and, according to Sotheby's, "a bar with discotheque" - a feature that Gatsby would certainly have approved of.

"There are numerous outbuildings," adds the listing, including one that has been turned "into a bedroom with a sailing theme, with a bathroom and play room with projection facilities" as well as portholes in the walls.

The price for Fitzgerald's summer property? "On request". Gatsby would approve of that part as well.
