My good friends Bill and Carole Lomas, who have a real estate firm too - “Maison 2“, sold a wonderful 3-bedroom property in Seillans, a village in the Var… With a stunning view.
They asked me to do a painting, of the house itself, so I started a 70 X 50 cm aquarelle, on my favourite mouldmade Arche “torchon” (rough grain) 300 grams watercolour paper
I always start with the parts that I like best, and often they are the windows and doors, because there’s “mystery” there! In this case, a nice, light and happy atmosphere…
Slowly working on the rest of the house - and while I am painting, my appreciation for the house grows and grows
So that, after I’m finished I so want to be and stay there… but of course I can’t - the new owners of the house are the lucky guys and I am pretty sure they’ll be totally happy out there!

Old Nice is a fascinating and beautiful place, and especially at night :
Place Rosetti hasone of the best ever ice cream stalls with over 50 varieties (including garlic, lavender and thyme!) along with the other restaurants and cafes. All overlooked by the big and ornate St. Reparate church - appropriately undergoing ‘reparations’ at the moment.

On no more than 3 minutes walking distance from Valbonne Village there is a great property-secret that I’d like to share with you: one of the most prestigious properties in the countryside behind Cannes…
A couple of years ago RHF’s top consultant Jeroen Zaat sold it to a lovely English family and I created the painting you see up here at the time. I remember it was hard to choose which of the beautiful parts I was going to do, there were so many!
It is a stunning, completely renovated old mill (Moulin) from the 16th century - so close to the centre of Valbonne village, one of prettiest and liveliest villages in the heart of the Cote d’Azur!
The owners gave many a good party in it and I know for a fact (because I was there) that the villa and everything around it, is very appropriate for that!
The main house itself has 600m² of living space and is set on a private estate of 13 acres bordering on the river Brague. It is completely secluded and every view from it is over private land. The villa has a total of 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, including a downstairs ‘guest wing’ with 2 double guest bedrooms plus a separate two-bedroom annexe.
To access the residence, you go through the private gates, that are situated 100 metres from the old village of Valbonne!
The immaculate, extensive gardens are a perfect playground for all ages. There is a large pool, heated of course, with a fully equipped pool house. A new orchard with greenhouse, along with a large new playhouse/atelier is situated on top of the hill where the new full tennis court is also situated.
The river Brague is filled with fresh water trout, there is a man-made pond with fish, ducks and turtles, as well as a waterfall. A footpath runs around the entire property for a lazy afternoon walk. And just outside the property there’s a large nature reserve. For the real walkers: it is a 3 hour walk along the river to the medieval village of Biot — and the beach.
You ‘ll agree that this must be one of the finest properties on the market today - in a very exclusive location! And it is now back on the market - Riviera Home Finders’ Jeroen Zaat has it in exclusivity. If you are interested in this property or want more information you can contact him directly or via the RHF website!
