Located in the sought-after Haut Gairaut area of Nice, this authentic *bastide* (traditional Provençal country house) enjoys a privileged residential setting, offering a peaceful, leafy environment just minutes from the city center.
Built in the late 18th century (circa 1788), the property offers approximately 242 m² of living space, including an independent apartment. It sits on a plot of roughly 1,700 m² arranged in terraces and adorned with mature Mediterranean vegetation, including olive trees, cypresses, and native plant species.
The property retains the full charm of homes from that era, featuring unique room layouts, period details, and various outbuildings—such as greenhouses, several garden sheds, and covered parking areas. These structures reflect the property’s history and offer numerous layout possibilities to suit various needs, whether as a family home or a holiday retreat.
The interior captivates with its authentic proportions, preserved character, and warm atmosphere. Period materials, high ceilings, and openings onto the garden contribute to the *bastide’s* unique charm, with every space reflecting the distinctive style of traditional Nice properties. The independent apartment is a significant asset, allowing for the comfortable, autonomous hosting of family, friends, or staff.
