Provençal House

Set on the hillside above Saint-André-de-la-Roche, on the edge of the Rimiez district, this Provençal house occupies an entire terrace of the slope, some ten minutes from the centre of Nice and around twenty-five from Nice Côte d’Azur airport.

The garden is the heart of the property. Laid out in restanques — the dry-stone terraces that have shaped these hills for centuries — it is planted with olive trees, fruit trees and Virginia creeper, and holds a swimming pool with its plant room, a summer kitchen, a henhouse and several parking spaces. From the main terrace the view opens across the Paillon valley to the hills facing it; below, the motorway traces the line that connects the neighbourhood to the city centre in a matter of minutes.

The ground floor is arranged around a living room with a fireplace, extended by a level terrace from which the pool is directly reached. The kitchen, separate, keeps the character of the old family houses of the Nice hinterland. A hallway serves three bedrooms, each with its own shower room or bathroom, together with two separate cloakrooms — an uncommon arrangement, and one that leaves everyone their independence.

On the upper floor, a two-room apartment has its own external entrance, terrace, garden and private parking space. Currently let, it represents, depending on the project, a regular rental income, accommodation for a relative, or independent quarters for an adult child.

The full basement level brings together a garage, a store room, a laundry, a cellar and a separate cloakroom.

The technical installations have been renewed and gathered in a dedicated room on the ground floor: an air-source heat pump and a thermodynamic water cylinder, both readily accessible for servicing. The house is rated B for energy and A for climate under the French EPC — an uncommon level of performance for a property of this size, and one that keeps running costs low over the long term.

A family house that has acquired, over time, everything that makes it comfortable to live in and straightforward to maintain.
