Property Description

Mansion dating back to 1820, situated in the heart of a historic village at an altitude of 680 metres. Located just 45 minutes from Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport and the A8 motorway, and one hour from the Auron ski resort in the Southern Alps, this traditional country house presents approximately 430 sq.m. Requiring full renovation works, the property stands out for its enchanting setting. It offers a stunning, unobstructed 180-degree mountain view from every room, as well as a peaceful atmosphere and a southeast-facing aspect. Spanning three main levels, the property features several reception rooms backing onto a delightful terrace of 35 sq.m, two kitchens and 13 bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms. This charming residence has retained many of its original features such as painted ceilings, terracotta tile flooring, fireplaces and an indoor well.

Additional features include large masonry rainwater cisterns (66 sq.m) and a convertible attic (130 sq.m) accessible via a staircase from the top floor.
