Mediterranean authenticity and architectural perfection are the words that best describe this rare estate.

A few minutes from the picturesque village of Tourrettes-sur-Loup, on the southern hillside, accessed by a pretty winding driveway, opening up to a vista of preserved forestland in the foreground, and beyond, a spanning view of the coastline, the Mediterranean, and the horizon.

Handhewn stone walls thoughout, terracotta floor and roof tiles, impressive roof beams, hardwood doors and shutters.

High-ceilinged living-room with dining area and fireplace, a master suite with separate bath, a home office space, a separate reading room, guest quarters with 4 bedrooms sharing a bathroom, a fully equipped and fitted Provence kitchen, an independent studio, aside volume with laundry room, wine cellar, boiler room etc. A spartan and handsome oratory built on a grotto adds a unique feel to the property.

The estate is completely secured by a new alarm system, and the technical installations have been updated and upgraded to comprise phone-activation of the (floor) heating, plus other useful features.

A new state-of-the-art 2-car secured garage, built with handhewn stones to blend in completely with the environment.

The grounds are natural, gently sloping, and feature many different kinds of trees and local vegetation. A splendid pool provides the only contemporary aspect of the scenery, where the views are timeless and varied, providing a tranquil moment of inspiration for owner and guests.

Only 30 minutes from Nice airport and 5 minutes from the village, which is alive all year round.
