A large country house set in 1.5 hectares of parklands and

Set in a plot of land extending over approx. 1.5 ha, which is surrounded by abundant vegetation, the property encompasses large parklands laid out around the building. These include recreational areas, a driveway bordered by rose hedges and an orchard, as well as wooded areas to the north and west, bounded by a footpath.
The property is accessed via a small cul-de-sac that serves only four properties. A large gate opens onto a small esplanade, providing vehicle access to the garage at the bottom of the property and allowing pedestrian visitors to reach the main entrance via a forecourt featuring a small stone fountain.
Built in the 2000s, the villa nonetheless resembles the traditional residences typical of this part of the Alpes-Maritimes, owing to the use of local materials. The solid stone walls combine rubble masonry with dressed stone, and the roof is clad with local tiles, enhanced by a triple cornice of shortened tiles. The thick, well-insulated walls have large windows with straight, basket or round arched openings, including picture windows that let in plenty of light all year round. The building consists of a spacious "longère" (elongated farmhouse) with a wing at right angles. The simple layout is designed for easy circulation between the various areas of the house, with a master bedroom on the ground floor and a lower garden level accessed either via an internal staircase or independently from outdoors.
