Located in the southern hills of Grasse, this exceptional estate spans over 6 hectares of picturesque Provençal countryside. Surrounded by mature olive groves and panoramic views, it offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, and historic charm—just 10 minutes from Mougins and Valbonne, and 30 minutes from Cannes and 30 minutes to Nice International Airport.
At the heart of the property stands a charming 17th-century stone mas, rich in character and authenticity. Original stonework, traditional Provençal architecture, and warm, inviting interiors reflect centuries of history. Several charming guest cottages offer flexible accommodation, ideal for hosting friends and family in privacy and comfort.
The mature grounds feature, shaded terraces, fruit trees, and a tranquil olive grove, allowing for the production of your own olive oil. A unique highlight is the romantic ruin of a 12th-century chapel—adding historical depth and a touch of magic to the estate.
Outdoor living is enhanced by a stunning pool area with a fully equipped pool house and a dedicated spa space including a fitness room, sauna, and shower. A two-car garage and a spacious workshop complete this rare offering.
A rare sanctuary where Provençal history, natural beauty, and refined living come together in the heart of the French Riviera. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
Grasse occupies a commanding position in the hills above the Côte d’Azur, sitting at roughly 350 metres elevation with views that extend across the Esterel massif toward the Mediterranean. It is internationally recognised as the perfume capital of the world, a designation earned over four centuries of continuous production by houses including Fragonard, Galimard, and Molinard. The old town retains its medieval street pattern, its cathedral, and the tanneries-turned-workshops that gave the industry its origins. This is a working Provençal hill town with genuine historical weight.
Daily life in Grasse centres on the Place aux Aires market, held three mornings a week, and the covered Marché Provençal. The old town offers restaurants including La Bastide Saint-Antoine, a two-Michelin-star address. Mougins and Valbonne, both within fifteen minutes by car, provide additional dining and services. Cannes is thirty minutes south.
Grasse sits approximately 40 kilometres west of Nice along the A8 autoroute, with a direct bus connection to Cannes taking around 45 minutes. The nearest train station with TGV connections is Cannes, linking to Paris in roughly five and a half hours. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 35 kilometres away, reachable in 30 to 40 minutes by car, and serves direct routes to most major European cities and transatlantic destinations.
