Set on an exceptional 2,947 sqm landholding in Ras Beirut, the Abdul Rahim Diab Palace is a singular heritage estate of extraordinary provenance and architectural distinction. Inspired by the Palace of Versailles during Abdul Rahim Diab and Chafika Al-Azem’s honeymoon in France in 1938 and completed in 1949, the approximately 1,300 sqm residence preserves an exceptional collection of original interiors, furnishings and decorative arts, including extensive gold leaf, hand-carved wood, Italian marble, French crystal chandeliers, monumental paintings and bespoke period furniture. Arranged across three floors, the palace offers nine bedrooms, grand reception saloons, a formal dining room, two kitchens, a rooftop terrace, landscaped garden, elevator, service quarters and a security house. More than seven decades later, its remarkable authenticity, family legacy and craftsmanship remain intact, placing it beyond conventional luxury real estate and firmly within the realm of rare private heritage assets. **Asking Price: US$26,000,000.**
