Five prestigious properties to discover inland on the French Riviera
Five prestigious properties to discover inland on the French Riviera
Inland, in the quieter realm of the French Riviera, discerning homeowners enjoy a blended lifestyle embracing both solace and excitement. While the razzmatazz of Cannes and St Tropez are still on the doorstep, residents can slip into a slower pace among beautiful Provencal villages, stunning scenery and culture-rich communities.
At Home Hunts we can help you find your dream home. If you’re seeking a luxury property away from the coastline on the French Riviera – perhaps among vineyards and olive groves, or close to a charming village – check out some of these upmarket opportunities.
The Medieval Masterpiece of Mougins
During the Cannes film festival, the stars head to Mougins when they need to escape the hustle and bustle. One of the most sought-after addresses on the French Riviera, Mougins is the epitome of authentic, classy five-star France.
This luxury five-bedroom bastide (HH-14936840) sits just outside the medieval village of Mougins, but it could pass for a villa in the tropics. Palm trees delight from the patio and swimming in the crescent-topped heated pool makes every day feel like a holiday, especially with the sea views. Further highlights include an independent caretaker’s cottage and fitness zone. At €11,500,000, interested buyers should view as soon as possible.
Go for Gold at Chateauneuf de Grasse
Grasse, France’s picturesque perfume capital, lies behind Cannes in the foothills of the Prealps, as does the coveted Chateauneuf de Grasse. With easy access to the glitzy Côte d’Azur, yet slightly inland for more peace and privacy, buyers’ interest in this area is ever increasing, as is the value of prime property.
This unique, breath-taking six-bedroom home (HH-13257546) has the “wow factor” having been designed by Cannes-based architect Richard Sansoe. From the stunning arched windows of the dining area – which transform panoramic views into wall art – to the vast mirror-like pool and classically elegant interiors, it is the perfect family home. It is on the market for €8,975,000.
Life’s a Breeze in La Garde Freinet
A Provencal village near St Tropez, La Garde Freinet is a natural wonderland in the heart of the Massif des Maures. With hiking trails, striking views and the scent of pine in the air, it serves up lifestyles fused with fun and relaxation.
Wherever you cast your eyes over this elegant property (HH-14431335), there is a different place to sit and relax – whether a cosy nook or sun-kissed garden corner. There are 13 bedrooms which could make an impressive B&B property or a wonderful vacation villa for families and friends. The stone-walled heated pool and its hydro jets, stunning hammam and gorgeous colourful gardens are just a few of the special features at this €4,900,000 investment opportunity.
Time to Shine in Tourettes sur Loup
A coveted little medieval village between Nice and Cannes, Tourettes sur Loup is a world away from the lively Croisette, yet close enough to pop in and out for the high life. Think flower-filled streets, picturesque houses and art galleries.
This striking stately Provencal villa (HH-14652046) has been tastefully designed inside and out. The pool is classically styled with a modern finish while the terrace conjures up a homely tropical feel. At €2,990,000 this five-bedroom property won’t be on the market for long.
Love at First Sight in La Colle Sur Loup
Just 15 minutes from Nice Airport and only half-an-hour from Cannes, the charming village of La Colle Sur Loup is the ideal place to settle on the Riviera. Close enough to soak up the festivities and fun, but with enough distance to envelop you with nature and an authentic Provencal lifestyle, this is “la belle vie”.
From the beamed ceilings to the ocre sun-kissed terrace and high-ceiling rooms, this glorious Provencal mas (HH-15102821) is a welcoming home offering four charming bedrooms. Outdoors the verdant grounds, heated pool and petanque pitch make it a superb space for al fresco everything – and visitors will love the guest suite’s Romeo and Juliet balcony which has direct access to the swimming pool.
