This impressive 17th-century bastide, expanded in the 19th century and fully renovated in 2015, is set on a stunning plot of approximately 2 hectares. It features a lap pool with its own pool house, all nestled in a preserved natural setting.
Facing southwest, this property offers breathtaking views over the Grasse countryside, with a glimpse of the sea, and is just a few minutes from Mouans-Sartoux and quick access to Cannes!
A grand entrance leads into a spacious living room, enhanced by a built-in fireplace and large sliding bay windows that open onto a charming terrace surrounded by stone walls and olive trees.
The study, brimming with character, showcases beautiful ancient vaulted ceilings. The large, fully equipped kitchen opens onto an unobstructed view of the Grasse hills, while the dining room provides direct access to the terrace and garden.
Upstairs, the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a partial sea view over the Bay of Mandelieu. Two additional lovely bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, complete this level, along with a study or laundry area with independent exterior access.
The second floor offers four spacious attic bedrooms, all filled with natural light and each featuring its own en-suite shower room — ideal for hosting family or friends.
The approximately 100 m² outbuilding, which is attached to the main house, offers a variety of potential uses. On the ground floor, there is a former stable and a small cellar. The upper floor features a spacious room of around 70 m², which can be fully developed and customized to suit your needs.
A garage completes the property, along with ample parking space.
The grounds are composed of carefully maintained lawns, terraced gardens planted with Cailletier olive trees — a variety typical of the region — Mediterranean plants and shrubs, as well as wooded areas and farmland. There is also the option to acquire approximately 8 additional hectares of agricultural land.
Located just 30 minutes from Nice International Airport and Cannes, close to several renowned golf courses and only 10 minutes from prestigious schools, this exceptional bastide offers a unique lifestyle combining historical charm, modern comfort, and the gentle rhythm of Provençal living !

Grasse occupies a hillside position in the Alpes-Maritimes, roughly 15 kilometres inland from Cannes, at an elevation that keeps it cooler than the coast while maintaining clear views toward the Mediterranean. The city is internationally recognised as the historic capital of the perfume industry, a status built over four centuries of cultivating jasmine, rose de mai, and tuberose across the surrounding countryside. Its old town retains a dense medieval fabric of narrow lanes, Baroque churches, and ochre-toned townhouses that give the place a weight and identity distinct from the coastal resorts below.
Daily life in Grasse centres on the Place aux Aires and the covered market, which runs most mornings. The old town holds a range of independent restaurants and cafés. The International Perfumery Museum and the historic houses of Fragonard, Molinard, and Galimard are all within the city. Golf courses at Opio-Valbonne and Mougins are within 15 minutes by car.
Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 35 kilometres from Grasse, reachable in around 30 to 40 minutes by car depending on traffic. Cannes is roughly 20 kilometres south, a drive of 25 to 30 minutes. The A8 motorway is accessible via Mougins or Cannes, connecting to Monaco in under an hour and to Aix-en-Provence in approximately 90 minutes. A regional bus service links Grasse to Cannes and Nice, and the nearest SNCF rail connection is at Cannes station.
