Nestled within approximately 3 hectares of exquisite landscaped grounds, this exceptional bastide has been meticulously restored to the highest standards by a renowned Italian interior architect, blending Provençal authenticity with timeless elegance. Throughout, exposed beams, antique stone fireplaces, terracotta floors and softly whitewashed walls carry the unmistakable soul of the Provençal countryside, while every finish speaks of refined, considered craftsmanship. The result is a home that feels at once historic and effortlessly liveable — grand in scale, yet intimate and warm. The main residence is the heart of the estate, offering four magnificent suites, a refined dining room, and a spacious living room bathed in natural light, where tall windows and graceful proportions frame the gardens beyond. A delightful country kitchen — the true centre of Provençal life — opens onto shaded terraces perfectly suited to long lunches and golden-hour aperitifs, with the landscape unfolding all around. The estate offers a rare degree of flexibility and independence for family, guests and staff alike. A separate apartment provides two additional suites, ideal for extended family or visiting friends. A charming guest house offers three further suites, complete with its own living room and kitchen, ensuring complete privacy for those who stay. And a smaller caretaker’s cottage completes the accommodation, allowing the property to be run and maintained seamlessly year-round. Outdoors, the grounds unfold in pure harmony — a living tapestry of cultivated beauty and Mediterranean abundance: A shimmering swimming pool, paired with a fully equipped pool house featuring its own kitchen, ideal for entertaining from morning to evening A private tennis court set discreetly within the greenery A mature olive grove, evoking the timeless agricultural heritage of the region A flourishing fruit-tree orchard and a productive kitchen garden (potager), offering the simple luxury of homegrown produce A tranquil fish pond and glorious water features, bringing movement and serenity to the gardens Manicured lawns, terraced beds and mature planting throughout, all impeccably maintained Beyond the gardens, the estate opens onto captivating panoramic views across the rolling Provençal countryside and down to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea in the distance — a vista that shifts beautifully with the light of each passing hour. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinguished private estates in the highly sought-after St-Jean district of Grasse — a singular property where Provençal authenticity, absolute privacy, productive land and natural beauty come together in perfect balance. A true art de vivre in the hills above the Côte d’Azur. 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 and down to the Mediterranean. It is internationally recognised as the perfume capital of the world, a designation rooted in centuries of cultivating jasmine, rose de mai, and tuberose across the surrounding hillsides. The old town retains its medieval street pattern, its cathedral, and the tanneries-turned-perfume-houses that gave the city its global identity.
Daily life in Grasse centres on the Place aux Aires market, held three mornings a week, and the covered Marché Provençal. The Musée International de la Parfumerie and the historic houses of Fragonard, Molinard, and Galimard are all within the old town. Restaurants such as La Bastide Saint-Antoine, a Michelin-starred address on the outskirts, define the local dining standard.
Grasse sits approximately 15 kilometres north of Cannes, reachable in around 25 minutes by car via the D6185. The A8 autoroute connects to Nice in roughly 45 minutes. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, the second busiest in France with direct routes to most major European cities and beyond, is approximately 40 kilometres away, typically a 45 to 55 minute drive depending on traffic.
