On the hills of Nice, this exceptional 17th-century castle, fully restored by the famous architect André Svetchine, stands in the heart of 69 hectares of private land planted with Mediterranean species.
Only 30 minutes from Nice and its international airport, and 1.5 hours from ski resorts, it offers an idyllic setting for lovers of historic homes.
The property includes the main castle of over 400 m2 of living space, a caretaker's house, an independent studio, and a small Provençal mas to restore.
The castle features magnificent reception rooms, refined and open to the gardens as well as a large terrace offering a panoramic view of the entire Var valley and the surrounding hills.
Period fireplace, double French doors, stone staircase, all authentic elements highlighting the remarkable character of the place. Modern amenities include a large semi-professional kitchen fully equipped to host large gatherings.
The seven bedrooms of the castle, each with carefully thought-out atmospheres, all have their own bathroom. The gardens, adorned with over 350 olive trees producing olive oil, invite relaxation: a bar with a dining area and barbecue faces a pétanque court, a regional must.
A superb heated circular pool, surrounded by a large terrace, allows full enjoyment of the sun.
The caretaker's house of about 80 m² and the independent studio offer three additional bedrooms.
Below the estate, there is also a charming Provençal mas to restore of about 75 m², offering two bedrooms and nestled in a beautiful oak grove.
A private spring supplies water to the property, currently used for the pool and garden watering.
