Magnificent estate in Mougins



There are a couple of paintings of houses in the making (which means Riviera Home Finders, unlike other agencies, is still selling - despite the crisis - good for us!) and in the meantime I'll introduce a marvellous property to you, that I happen to know inside out (and hope to be painting soon) because it belongs to a friend! It truly is a little piece of paradise, in a perfect private setting - and at the same time very close to everything, from the old centre of Mougins village to the airport...

Try to imagine: if you go there, you'll drive through a road lined by lavender and rose bushes. You park under the carport -or in the double garage- and walk to the main house under a magnificent canopy of wysteria...The main house is very romantic, a centuries old bergerie in stone.

It has a large living, vaulted ceilings, wonderful fireplace and a large fully equipped kitchen with breakfast corner and large laundry room. There's a master bedroom, of course with dressing and bathroom, and a second bedroom with full bathroom with jacuzzi. Upstairs 2 more bedrooms with bathrooms. The property has a cinema room and a fitness and a play room. Have I told you about the garden? With a huge freeform heated swimming pool (of course with jacuzzi), poolhouse with shower, toilet/sauna/summer kitchen and fishponds with koi carps, beautiful terraces to fully enjoy the view and the tranquil environment.

But that's not all, there's another wonderful thing about this property: it consists of 3 separate villa's (all in great shape). And apart from the poolhouse and the summerkitchen there's a seperate office that can also be used as living space... You got it by now, it is a house of endless possibilities! My friend used one of the villa's for her caretakers' couple and the other one for visitors. Of course it could be great for holiday rentals (it would house 9 couples) and ideal for a family with bigger kids, or for three befriended couples to live close together and support each other - I would personally love to have the main house and then the other houses for my parents and in-laws! Have everyone close - and still separate and having your own privacy. OK, I digress and I can't afford it anyway, but maybe you can! The asking price is € 3,75 million and considering what you get for that, in terms of peaceful living, luxury and authentic atmosphere - it is not that much! If you are interested, please contact our agent Jeroen Zaat who has the house in exclusivity.
