Villa in Valbonne V

A post about a perfect property close to Valbonne! Our agent Jeroen Zaat (the best there is for prestige properties!) has a luxury villa in his portfolio that he would like to highlight because of its many fabulous characteristics:

- The total surface of the villa is around 400m², surrounded by 5000m² flat terrain.

- The location is perfectly quiet and has nice views over the mountains.

- The villa itself has a huge living room with fireplace and office corner, opening to the terraces.

- Large heated swimming pool of 16x6m with electric cover, surrounded by large terraces - A summer kitchen and a fitness room.

- A full size tennis court

- Double garage - and ample parking for several more cars.

...And then of course a dining room, kitchen, pantry, laundry room and heating room and in the other end of the house three large bedrooms with their bathrooms, the master suite with a large dressing and bathroom with bath and shower. Upstairs a mezzanine with library and fourth bedroom with bathroom and dressing...

There is a separate guesthouse with three identical bedrooms (of course with their own bathrooms), which open to the terrace and the pool area. On the back of the guesthouse is an independent studio. This studio could serve as guardian's quarters (kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom opening to private terrace).
The property is kept in perfect condition and has reverse cycle airconditiong/heating in every room.

The price? €3,450,000... not unreasonable - and for that amount the property can be purchased fully furnished - including 2 cars!

Castelleras

Just finished a painting of this beautiful Chateau - that has only one link with Riviera Home Finders in sofar that it would be a great location to have our next reception or party! Castelleras is a small village close to Valbonne and neighbouring Mouans Sartoux. When I saw the chateau de Castelleras for the first time, I thought it was a very old building, upgraded and changed through the ages, but as it turns out, it was (re-)constructed within a year - and not so very long ago: in 1927! It is built by the famous french architect, visionary and ecologist Couëlle (OK! there's another link -RHF has very exclusive villa's of his design in their portfolio). Couëlle, who at the time was only 26 years old- used the knowledge that he had gathered, while saving and reconstructing 12th, 15th and 16th century chateaux in the Provence and the Pyrenees from their ruins...
He used the existing ruins of the 'oppidum' or fortified village where the "knights of Sartoux" once lived, to build a beautiful, balanced and very charming chateau...
The Chateau de Castelleras is now mainly used for weddings and receptions. And as you can see from the pictures, it is another great spot with that fabulous athmosphere, style and class that you can only find here, in the South of France...
