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

A43995MLE06 - Once through the electric gates the short driveway leads up to the villa, with ample parking immediately to the left but also to the right, at what is the rear of the house. Let’s imagine we’ve parked directly to the left and we shall visit the property from here…

Walking up the stone pathway, we are immediately greeted by the pool, sun decks and pool house straight ahead… Uninterrupted views can be enjoyed in all directions from the beautifully-landscaped gardens, whether you might wish to contemplate the rolling hills of the nearby villages of Cabris and Speracedes in the north, or Grasse and the Southern Alps to the east, or indeed the deep blue of the magnificent Mediterranean coast to the south. The grass lawns are beautifully-kept, maintained by an automatic sprinkler system, and the nicely-trimmed citrus fruit trees and shrubs bear witness to the care and attention that this lovely property has always received from its owners over the years.

The renovated pool boasts a solar-powered cover / security system and the pool house is a very comfortable 35m² with a fully-equipped summer kitchen, a sunken lounge area with flat screen TV and a dining area with adjoining terrace, the perfect combination for many a family gathering! From here the beautiful façade of the house can be admired, with its own lovely, shaded terraces.

The double staircase in front of the house leads up to the front door and a comfortable covered terrace of 28m², also accessible from the 38m² master bedroom suite, which is to the left when entering… Here there is a spacious walk-in wardrobe along with ample cupboard space and a well-appointed bathroom. Back through the corridor, we pass a large wood-burner on our way to the bright, spacious 43m² lounge area. From here a staircase leads up to the top floor bedroom suite, a functional 12m² with shower room and cupboard, that can also double as office space, with broadband internet available. Back down to the lounge and immediately to our left we have the tasteful dining room extension, also fitted with a wood burner, with its big bay windows allowing plenty of light to flood in during the day, while affording beautiful views over the hillside villages and their twinkling street lamps come dinner time. From here the backdoor staircase leads down to the rear of the house and the fitness room… The well-equipped kitchen just beyond offers two ovens, an induction hob with gas burner, an American-style fridge freezer unit along with plenty of storage, ideal for ease of service when entertaining.

Through the kitchen we head back out to the main corridor leading to the front door, with a storage area and guest toilet on the right and immediately to our left, a staircase leading down to a further four independent bedroom suites, perfect for family members, friends and even paying guests, should a high-end bed & breakfast business opportunity be what you’re looking for… Here the suites are all beautifully finished, and three of the four, ranging in size from 21 to 46m², boast their own outside terraces facing north, east and south, each with almost complete privacy. The fourth suite doesn’t have its own outside space but instead opens straight out into the fitness room, which could conceivably become another private terrace, albeit enclosed, with sliding doors and windows for that outdoor feel. On the practical side, a small basement area houses the pump, filtration and lighting systems for the swimming pool, while a rooftop solar panel installation helps to greatly reduce annual energy costs.

Finally, copper guttering throughout keeps the façades spotless all year round (yes, it does sometimes rain on the Cote d’Azur), and while there is no garage to speak of, there is a charging point for electric vehicles at the rear of the house and space to easily accommodate 8-10 cars along with various storage areas for property maintenance, to include a stone mazet and three wooden sheds.

There are wonderful walks to be had in the forest along the nearby Siagne river and the villa is ideally located just 7 minutes from the town centre and all the necessary amenities- there are local elementary and secondary schools and even an excellent international school in nearby Grasse, only 15 minutes away. In town, markets showcasing local produce are held twice weekly during the summer months and the local tennis and fitness clubs will satisfy sports fans. In short, the villa is in the perfect spot to make the most of the beaches, golf courses and ski resorts that make the Cote d'Azur such a wonderful place to live and holiday. This ideal multi-generational family home, holiday home with great rental potential or indeed B&B business opportunity (previous owners ran it as such) makes for a much sought-after investment solution on the Cote d’Azur, less than an hour from Nice airport.

35 minutes to Cannes and Antibes,
50 minutes to Nice airport, the Allianz Riviera stadium and the Esterel national park,
