Overlooking the city of Nice, this late 19th-century property offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the rooftops of Nice, in a setting that is both peaceful and steeped in history. Listed as a Historic Monument, it embodies a rare architectural style, directly inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
Built between 1884 and 1887 by the architect Vincent Levrot, the villa stands on the heights of Mont-Gros, at the heart of a park of around 6 hectares, formerly terraced, now enhanced by numerous olive trees.
Facing south-west, the property enjoys optimal sunshine throughout the day. Two spacious terraces, seamlessly integrated into the architecture, naturally extend the living spaces.
The ground floor features superb reception rooms — living room, dining room, smoking room — with décor inspired by grand Italian villas. A central staircase leads to the upper floors, comprising numerous bedrooms, dressing rooms and bathrooms.
Nearly 200 sqm of attic space and approximately 245 sqm of garden-level space complete the property, offering remarkable potential for conversion, with scope for a wellness area, a gym, an indoor swimming pool or additional living spaces.
Just 15 minutes from Nice Airport and close to amenities, this unique property combines elegance, authenticity and potential within a preserved natural setting. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
Nice occupies a singular position on the French Riviera, where the Alps descend sharply to the Mediterranean and the light takes on a quality that has drawn artists, aristocrats, and serious buyers for two centuries. The city carries genuine cultural weight: the Promenade des Anglais, the Baroque churches of the Old Town, the Matisse and Chagall museums on the Cimiez hill. It is the fifth-largest city in France, yet retains the scale and identity of a Mediterranean capital with a distinct Franco-Italian character.
Daily life in Nice centres on the Cours Saleya flower and produce market, the restaurants of Vieux-Nice such as La Merenda and Chez Pipo, and the boutiques of the Carré d’Or district. The Colline du Château park offers elevated walking directly above the city. The Promenade des Anglais runs the full length of the seafront.
Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is one of the busiest in France, handling direct routes to most major European cities and beyond, and sits approximately 7 kilometres west of the city centre. The main railway station, Nice-Ville, connects to Paris by TGV in around five and a half hours, and to Monaco in under 30 minutes. The A8 motorway provides fast road access along the entire Riviera corridor toward Cannes, Antibes, and the Italian border.
