DESCRIPTION
Grasse: Set in the hills above Grasse, in one of the most historically resonant landscapes of Provence, this Belle Époque demeure bourgeoise is among the finest preserved private residences of its period on the Côte d’Azur. Classified as a Historic Monument, it has been restored with exceptional care and respect for its heritage. Every detail has been approached thoughtfully and every material selected for authenticity rather than convenience. The result is a residence that carries its history with elegance while remaining perfectly suited to modern life.
The main villa, together with a separate four bedroom caretaker’s house, offers more than 900 square metres of living space. The scale is generous and allows a large family, as well as guests, advisors and household staff, to live comfortably while ensuring every space remains purposeful and welcoming.
Inside, the atmosphere is refined and warm. Burgundy stone floors, impressive ceiling heights, hand painted frescoes created by a specialist church artist, and beautifully crafted wrought iron balustrades reflect the character of the home. Modern technology has been discreetly integrated throughout, allowing contemporary comfort without disturbing the architectural integrity of the property.
The 5.5 hectare park forms the true heart of the estate. A natural spring feeds a sequence of ornamental ponds while an old well provides irrigation for the gardens. Lime trees that are more than 180 years old shade the main terraces during the warmer hours of the day. The grounds reveal a rose garden, a pergola, koi ponds framed by box and cypress, a private olive grove, and a romantic étang d’amour planted with rare species. Numerous fountains are scattered throughout the gardens, often heard gently before they appear. The landscape has the quiet maturity that only time can create, carefully tended over generations.
The infinity pool looks toward the Mediterranean horizon and is surrounded by generous stone terraces and a fully equipped summer kitchen. Long lunches unfold easily in the shade and evenings naturally extend into aperitifs as the light fades. On clear days the coast can be seen in the distance, although the estate itself already feels complete.
Located only thirty five minutes from Cannes, the property enjoys a private and elevated setting, completely screened from the road. It remains close to everything that matters while still offering a sense of calm separation.
Presented in exceptional condition, the residence requires no work. For a family, a foundation, or a private office seeking a meaningful long term property in the South of France, this is a rare and remarkable opportunity.
