Description

A14004 -
Overview
Tucked away in the peaceful hills near Nice, this exceptional 17th-century stone residence offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of Côte d'Azur history. Originally built as an olive oil mill, the property has been lovingly restored and extended over the centuries to create a home that blends authentic architectural features with modern comfort. Facing south and nestled within over 6,000 m² of lush, wooded land, this rare estate offers complete privacy, natural beauty, and architectural heritage — all within easy reach of the French Riviera.
The property offers 253 m² of interior living space, divided into two interconnected wings: a main family residence and a secondary wing with two independent guest apartments, each fully equipped with their own kitchens and bathrooms. Ideal for use as a large family home or an income-generating chambre d’hôtes, this home retains exceptional character while offering functionality, flexibility, and serene rural luxury.
Additional assets include a beautiful fireplace in the main living room, solar thermal panels for hot water, underfloor heating, air conditioning, several interior and exterior cellars. A pool can also be added, subject to planning permission.

Kitchen – 26.75 m²
Bright and open, this kitchen was added by enclosing part of the original terrace. It benefits from large windows, ample worktop space, and a serene green view.

The Area
Located in the green hills between the new and old parts of Carros, the property enjoys a privileged position just 15 minutes from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport and 30 minutes from the heart of Nice. The charming medieval village of Carros-le-Vieux — one of the Côte d’Azur’s renowned "Villages Perchés" — is only 5 minutes away by car or accessible on foot via nearby walking trails.
The area offers a peaceful, family-friendly environment with local schools, artisan shops, and cultural events year-round. The location is equally ideal for nature lovers and those seeking proximity to the Riviera without the hustle and bustle of the coastline.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
