Timeless property in Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Perfectly integrated into the surrounding nature, the villa certainly has no match in this select hill-top village in the Alpes-Maritimes, whether for its ultra-modern architecture in an area where the Provençal style reigns supreme, nor for the size of its park surveying the Mediterranean…
“Ô temps, suspends ton vol !”… Lamartine’s famous words could well have been inspired by this enchanting site : 6.67 acres of vegetation sublimated by the hands of men, a house with skylights and picture windows, covered with shrubs, a pool area where minerals compete with nature. A Garden of Eden blessed by the gods, just 15 minutes from the main towns in the département, Nice, Antibes and Cannes. A garden which shimmers at night-fall with spheres of light, further magnifying this nature so expertly controlled, a pond with koï carps and the free-form, mirror-style pool reflecting the entire spectacle. Offering living space of 650 m2, the property is just a few minutes from the village famous for its artists and the equally renowned Maeght Foundation. The architect who designed it in the 1970’s was clearly ahead of his time. The current owners who renovated it restored its letters of nobility. Starting with a living room of 200 m2, a subtle play of perspectives and different levels. A reception room into which the outdoor decor invites itself in all sovereignty, through all the windows and doors. An artwork in itself, the magnificent kitchen with its glass wine cellar is, in fact, very functional. And the same exercise is repeated in the master bedroom, separated by a half-level and half-wall from the bathroom area, both adorned with parquet floors.
SPECIFICATIONS :
Surface area of 650 m2 with vast lounge 200 m2, master bedroom, 3 guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, 2 independent 1-bedroom apartments.
Grounds of 6.67 acres with pool, sauna, jacuzzi, pool-house. Well and pond of 50 m3 for the automatic sprinkler system.
