private mansion with pool for sale Grimaud, France

A belle époque villa with a garden and an unrivalled sea view on the Mediterranean coast between Saint-Raphaël and Cannes. The villa lies in the middle of a terraced garden of around 3,000m² that stretches down to the famous Corniche d’Or coastal road. A caretaker’s house stands at the plot’s north-west corner where it leads onto a road that runs behind the property. The main entrance door leading into the house is in the villa’s rear elevation, on the first floor. You reach it via a bridge from the garden. The plot originally extended on both sides of the famous Corniche d’Or coastal road all the way down to the beach. An orange grove was planted on the sea side and an underground passage was built beneath the road for easy access to the beach. The enclosing wall that demarcates the property is built with the same pattern of stonework as the villa’s elevations. Double-pear balusters crown this wall. A magnificent wrought-iron entrance gate leads into the property from the Corniche d’Or coastal road. A swimming pool lies behind the villa in one part of the vast garden. The villa bears the hallmarks of work by a civil engineer: it is clear that the architectural choices and construction techniques were carefully considered. The floors are built of reinforced concrete, which ensures solidity and structural stability. The villa’s elevations, terraces and retaining walls are built of Sospel stone laid in an opus incertum pattern. Each block of stone was shaped into an irregular hexagon, which gives the property a unique character. The elevations distinctly reflect art nouveau aesthetics. The influence of the famous French designer Hector Guimard, who was a prominent figure of the art nouveau movement, can clearly be seen in the villa’s general style and sculpted details. This particular design adds historical and artistic value to the property. And the many balconies, terraces and loggias of the dwelling give the villa visual force and create harmony between the interior and the exterior.

Located in the heart of the charming village of Trans-en-Provence, this early 20th-century bourgeois residence perfectly embodies the timeless elegance of Provençal country homes. Fully renovated with great care taken to preserve its original features, the property offers approximately 250 sqm of living space over several levels, set within a beautifully landscaped garden of around 900 sqm, sheltered from view. From the moment you enter, the generous volumes and high ceilings reveal the true character of the home: original fireplaces, delicately preserved moldings, period floor tiles, and abundant natural light create a warm and refined atmosphere. The reception rooms provide both elegance and comfort, while the kitchen, benefiting from dual exposure and opening onto the outdoors, naturally extends the living spaces towards the garden and the swimming pool. A central staircase leads to the upper floors, where four bedrooms are arranged, including a master suite with its own bathroom. The top floor features a stunning attic enhanced by a cathedral-style roof structure, showcasing the quality of the original construction and offering additional potential for development. On the lower level, a beautifully converted vaulted cellar completes the property, ideal as an intimate lounge, wine-tasting room, or leisure space. An adjoining barn of approximately 70 sqm, along with its upper level offering generous volumes, presents numerous possibilities for conversion or extension. Outside, a recently installed swimming pool, several shaded areas, and a private, unoverlooked setting create a მშვიდ and privileged living environment. The property can be sold furnished, including its period chandeliers, offering a turnkey opportunity in perfect harmony with the spirit of the house. A character property combining historic charm with modern comfort, ideally located in an authentic Provençal village, close to Draguignan and main transport routes, while maintaining a discreet and residential atmosphere.
