An international home for sale resembles a rock formation from aerial view.

The architecturally-designed property in Bonifacio, Corsica, is carved into the cliffside with the breathtaking Mediterranean Sea as its backdrop.

Designed by the late French architect Savin Couelle in the 1990s, the home effortlessly blends into its natural surrounds.

Couelle is renowned for his properties that adopt organic architecture principles, having preferred natural materials such as stone and wood.

Frederic Oliveri of Corsica Sotheby’s International Realty is handling the property campaign, and the price guide is €9.9 million ($AU16.1 million).

Set on 2.27 acres, the villa is located in the south of Cavallo Island, a private island between Corsica and Sardinia, that forms part of the commune of Bonifacio.

From above, you would easily mistake the home for a clustered rock formation.

The listing aptly describes the home as a “true sculpture set on the waterfront”, referencing its resemblance to the rocky landscape.
