À Vendre — Charmante Propriété En Pleine Nature

Tucked away from view in the upper Madeleine district, amidst a preserved natural setting, this rare property offers an exceptional living environment where nature, history, and authenticity converge.

Long before the house was built, this land was a place where people truly lived and worked the soil. In the 19th century, monks settled here, drawn by a natural spring that still flows on the property today. Later, the terraced slopes were blanketed with thousands of carnations and other flowers cultivated by a family from Piedmont. During the heyday of Nice’s horticultural tradition, these blooms were sent to the Cours Saleya market and the Nice wholesale market (MIN) before being distributed across France.

Built in 1957 on the site of the original structure, the house retains traces of this unique past: a natural spring, caves carved into the rock (formerly used for growing mushrooms), an old bamboo grove, forgotten gardens, and historic agricultural terraces.

However, the property’s greatest asset is its 11,000 m² of land—featuring various flat plots and terraced levels—available for exclusive use. This is an exceptional landholding in the heart of Nice, offering rare potential for a variety of projects: olive groves and oil production, an eco-lodge or nature-tourism venture, agricultural activity, landscaped gardens, or a truly private estate.

The property comprises approximately 159.40 m² of living space, a 33.40 m² garage, several outdoor parking spaces, and a converted independent annex of about 40 m² spread over two levels. The layout allows for the creation of up to three separate living areas. The main house notably features four bedrooms and several reception areas.

Another distinctive feature: although part of the ”Les Terrasses de la Costière” co-ownership complex, the house constitutes a separate lot and operates independently, with no co-ownership fees levied against this specific property. More than just a house—a legacy to be reinvented. A former hillside of carnations transformed into a natural haven, now offering a unique living environment and exceptional potential in the heart of Nice.
