The vital facts: Living space approx. 300m² on a choice 4385m² piece of land, with 5 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms.
This superb villa, built in the 1990's to the highest specifications and with great taste, occupies a unique elevated position above Vence, and so boasts breath-taking 180° panoramic views over the Riviera?s coastal plain to the sea, all the way to Cap Ferrat in the east and to the Esterel Hills to the southwest; even to Roquebrune-sur-Argens in the Var to the west, and south to Corsica on a clear day. Yet it is only 5 mins from historic Vence, 15 mins from the beaches, and 22 mins from Nice airport.
It is on a cul-de-sac lane and backs onto forest, so it is quiet, private, and at one with nature (enjoying visits from squirrels & owls - you can even watch eagles soaring on the thermals).

Accommodation:
Ground floor: A fully equipped provençale kitchen. Laundry room. Dining area adjoining a spacious lounge with fine working fireplace, and French doors onto a terrace overlooking the majestic views.
A master suite, with spacious bedroom, bathroom (incl. shower), WC, dressing room, and French doors onto a private terrace with the sea view & a lovely mauve Wysteria. A second bedroom.

Fine Salernes floor tiles throughout. All windows are double-glazed and the wide custom-made frames are of Indonesian hardwood.

1st Floor: 2 spacious double bedrooms, with built-in wardrobes and French doors onto a balcony with stunning panoramic views.
Bathroom & separate WC.
An office/study, part of which occupies a Minstrel?s Gallery overlooking the lounge below. Opening onto a west-facing loggia with fine views over forest & hills. The study could be made into another bedroom.

Lower ground floor: An independent 45m² apartment comprising double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, lounge/dining room and its own shaded terrace.
Large cool wine cellar.
Several large storerooms.
Double garage.

Garden: Adjoining the west façade of the villa is a spacious loggia overlooking the lawn and the enormous views. As throughout the house, one cannot fail to be impressed by the quality of workmanship and materials.
A broad, gently sloping grassed pathway leads to a lower level with oleander, jasmin, wysteria, lavender, connifers, cypresses, roses, olive trees? And on another level a grove of citrus fruit trees (oranges, lemons, mandarins?) and figs & cherries. Part of the garden to the west and behind the house remains oak forest.
Rain water is collected & stored for garden watering.
The house is insulated to a very high specification, reducing running costs in both summer and winter.

This property is stunning. Visit it, experience it, and it will be hard not to fall in love with it.
