Sole agent – Ideally located between Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport and the famous Baou de Saint-Jeannet, this rare property—designed by the renowned architect Svetchine—elegantly blends Provençal authenticity with a distinctly contemporary interior.
Set in an elevated position offering absolute tranquility, yet just a short walk from the village and its amenities, the house provides approximately 300 m² of living space. It features five bedrooms—including three en-suites—set on a flat, meticulously landscaped plot of around 1,500 m².
Upon entering, the generous proportions and high-quality finishes create a warm, refined atmosphere. The reception areas open widely onto the terraces and garden, benefiting from exceptional natural light thanks to numerous openings that capture the sun throughout the day. Fine materials, combined with a contemporary renovation that respects the original architecture, strike a subtle balance between character and modernity.
Bathed in light, the property enjoys unobstructed views of the surrounding hills, with a pleasant glimpse of the sea from the upper floors. The highly functional layout is perfectly suited to family life while offering superb reception areas for entertaining in an exclusive setting. The bedroom suites offer a high level of comfort, and the various rooms feature harmonious proportions and ample storage space.
The fully landscaped outdoor areas serve as a natural extension of the living spaces. The largely flat grounds feature expansive terraces, beautiful Mediterranean plantings, and various relaxation zones, allowing for full enjoyment of the Côte d’Azur climate in complete privacy. Every aspect of the layout has been designed to create a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors, fostering a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. The work of Svetchine—an iconic architect of the Côte d’Azur—lends this property a distinctive identity, blending timeless lines and balanced proportions with harmonious integration into the natural landscape. This highly sought-after architectural signature plays a key role in the property’s exclusive appeal.

La Gaude is a hilltop village in the Alpes-Maritimes, set at roughly 400 metres elevation in the hills above the Var valley, approximately 15 kilometres northwest of Nice. The village retains a genuinely Provençal character, with stone architecture, narrow lanes, and panoramic views across terraced hillsides toward the coast. It sits within a landscape defined by the dramatic limestone ridge of the Baou de Saint-Jeannet and is closely associated with the internationally recognised art village of Saint-Paul de Vence, just a few kilometres away.
Saint-Paul de Vence, with the Fondation Maeght and its galleries and restaurants, is under ten minutes by car. Vence offers a weekly market, a covered food market, and a range of restaurants and shops for daily needs. Cagnes-sur-Mer provides supermarkets, a train station, and the Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur.
Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometres from La Gaude, reachable in around 25 to 30 minutes by car, with direct flights to most major European cities and intercontinental connections. The A8 motorway is accessible via Cagnes-sur-Mer, linking to Monaco in under 40 minutes and to Cannes in approximately 30 minutes. The TGV station in Nice connects to Paris in around five and a half hours.
