Provence-Alps-Cote d`Azur, Alpes-Maritimes, Contes, France

Set in the heart of an unspoilt natural environment, completely private and free from any disturbance, this rare property extends across nearly 16 contiguous hectares, offering remarkable privacy.

The estate comprises two separate buildings and several outbuildings. The main house, whose origins date back to the late 18th century, circa 1789, offers approximately 600 sqm of living space arranged over three levels.

Built in two stages, the house was extended under the direction of Félix Biasini, son and collaborator of Sébastien Marcel Biasini, the renowned Nice-based architect associated with the Belle Époque style, lending the property a distinctive architectural identity and genuine historical character.

Held by the same family since 1917, spanning five generations, the estate bears witness to a deeply rooted family history.

The main house features more than thirteen generously proportioned, light-filled rooms. Stone balustrades and staircases enhance the elegance of its architecture and contribute to the distinctive character of the property.

The main house now requires substantial renovation, both aesthetic and structural, including the rehabilitation of the two towers.

A former farmhouse dating from 1848 completes the estate. Offering 119 sqm and requiring full renovation, it presents excellent potential for conversion into a guest house, an independent residence or a space dedicated to a specific project.

The grounds are arranged around an approximately 3-hectare plateau encompassing landscaped gardens, orchards, a vegetable garden, meadows and an olive grove of centuries-old olive trees. Beyond lies extensive private woodland, crossed by walking trails and featuring a pond.

Roe deer, wild boar and woodcock are naturally found throughout the woodland, which may also offer potential as a private hunting estate.

With its exceptional scale and diversity of landscapes, the estate lends itself to a variety of projects, including equestrian use, agricultural or olive-growing activities, or simply an exceptional family property surrounded by nature and tranquillity.

Close to local shops and amenities, the property is just 5 minutes from Contes, 30 minutes from Nice, 35 minutes from Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport and 40 minutes from Monaco. Agency fees payable by vendor
