Prestigious Property 45 Minutes From Nice International Airport

Historic manor house of 489 sqm of living space on 3.9 hectares of flat land · In need of full renovation
OVERVIEW
Set at approximately 900 metres above sea level in the hinterland behind Grasse, this distinguished property offers nearly 489 sqm of living space within a private estate of just under 4 hectares in a single parcel.
Designed in the early 1960s by prominent owners, the villa stands as a rare example of regional modernist architecture. Its facades combine structural concrete with local stone in warm rose hues. Wide floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures exceptional natural light throughout. The interior volumes are generous and retain a wealth of original period features: carved coffered ceilings, wood panelling, a monumental wooden staircase and a Renaissance-style fireplace.
The property is offered for complete renovation, giving the buyer total freedom to reimagine the space on a landholding that would be impossible to assemble in this area today. The potential for added value — both as a residential and a heritage asset — is outstanding.

SAINT-VALLIER-DE-THIEY: A PLACE OF RARE, UNSPOILT DISTINCTION

Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey did not wait to be discovered. The great families of Grasse had already made it their retreat of choice as far back as the 19th century. It is one of those places one recognises immediately, without needing to explain why. A historic spa village, home to the headquarters of the Parc Naturel Régional des Préalpes d’Azur, with 91% of its territory still breathing nature and open space.12 km from Grasse, 29 km from Cannes, 47 km from Nice International Airport. Accessible without being exposed. Preserved without being remote. What the Riviera coastline can no longer offer — space, silence and the certainty of a setting that endures — Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey still holds. And will keep.
