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

Ref. VAL260162 - Nestled in an exceptionally private setting on the hills overlooking the bay of Cannes and Mandelieu, this beautifully renovated stone bastide is a truly remarkable property, combining authentic Provençal character with refined contemporary comfort. Surrounded by over 5,000 sqm of meticulously landscaped and fully enclosed grounds, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the countryside towards the Mediterranean, creating a wonderful sense of space, serenity and seclusion.

Discreetly approached via a small private road, an automatic gate opens onto the driveway and immediately reveals the privileged nature of this hidden retreat. The generous parking facilities, including two parking areas, a triple carport and a large garage, are particularly rare for a hillside property of this calibre and make the residence perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining.

Inside, the bastide impresses with its generous proportions, quality finishes and warm, elegant atmosphere. The ground floor is centred around a magnificent reception room with remarkable 3.8-metre-high ceilings, opening directly onto a covered and heated terrace that forms a natural extension of the interior living space and can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A separate TV room and study offer additional versatility, while a spacious guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access provides comfort and privacy for visiting family and friends. The impressive solid-oak De Tonge kitchen, equipped with a La Canche range cooker, Italian marble sinks, marble worktops and Gaggenau appliances, reflects the exceptional attention to quality found throughout the property.

The first floor is dedicated to beautifully appointed private accommodation, including a generous master suite with a luxurious bathroom, separate WC, dressing room and its own private terrace, together with an additional en-suite bedroom. The possibility of securing this level with an iron gate adds another dimension of privacy and security. An additional independent guest bedroom with its own shower room and private terrace is conveniently located adjacent to the main house, ideal for guests seeking greater independence. The TV room and study also offer the flexibility to be converted into further bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms already in place.

The exterior spaces are undoubtedly one of the property’s greatest highlights. The landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to complement the natural surroundings and frame the exceptional views, while the magnificent pool area creates an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining. A large heated saltwater swimming pool, custom-made Jacuzzi, pergola, extensive terraces and a well-equipped pool house come together to create a true outdoor living environment. From the upper terrace of the pool house, the sunsets are particularly spectacular, with the changing colours of the sky extending across the surrounding hills towards the sea.

Beyond its undeniable charm, the bastide has also been designed with comfort, security and practicality in mind. Air conditioning and heating are installed throughout, complemented by underfloor heating in the bathrooms, while the fully enclosed grounds, sophisticated alarm system with cameras and infrared technology, window protection and automatic irrigation provide additional peace of mind. Traditional architectural details, including œil-de-bœuf windows and rare terracotta flooring, preserve the authentic character of the residence, while its exceptionally solid construction and deep foundations underline the quality of the property itself.

Offering an unusual combination of panoramic views, absolute privacy, generous accommodation and beautifully designed outdoor spaces, this exceptional bastide is a rare opportunity for those looking for an elegant yet welcoming home on the French Riviera. Despite its wonderfully secluded atmosphere, the property remains conveniently located approximately 30 minutes from Nice International Airport, making it particularly attractive as either a prestigious permanent residence or an exceptional Côte d’Azur retreat.
