Minutes from the old village and the Riviera coastline, it’s a poised base for year-round living on the Côte d’Azur.

A Mediterranean Rhythm, Kept Wonderfully Private
There&rsquo s a particular calm on the Mougins hillside&mdash soft light filtering through trees, the air carrying that unmistakable Cô te d&rsquo Azur clarity, and a sense of retreat that never feels remote. Villa 06 is designed to capture that rhythm. Set within a fully enclosed private estate of just ten architect-designed villas, it offers the comfort of a secure, considered setting, while keeping daily life beautifully connected to the village, Cannes and the wider Riviera.
With 159.55 m² of thoughtfully arranged interiors and 805.10 m² of landscaped outdoor space, the home is shaped around the moments that define southern living: long lunches that drift into evening, open doors and gentle breezes, and the quiet luxury of space&mdash inside and out.
Light-Led Architecture, Effortless Flow
The villa&rsquo s contemporary lines sit naturally in their green surroundings, with a restrained palette of finishes that echo Provence: soft-toned render, stone detailing, and wide expanses of glazing that pull the garden into view. The architecture is intentionally discreet&mdash more about atmosphere than display&mdash so the landscape and sunlight take the lead.
Inside, volumes feel clear and easy. Large bay windows extend the living areas outward, creating a seamless relationship between the interior spaces and the terrace beyond. Throughout the home, the emphasis is on comfort that feels intuitive: clean finishes, generous openings, and a layout that supports both togetherness and privacy.
The Heart of the Home
At the centre of daily life sits a fitted open-plan kitchen, designed to stay connected to the living space&mdash perfect for relaxed mornings, shared cooking, and entertaining that never feels confined. The home&rsquo s plan is conceived to make living simple: the kitchen&rsquo s practicality is enhanced by the possibility of ancillary space such as a pantry or laundry area, as described in the wider architectural concept for the villas.
Finishes are selected with care, balancing a premium feel with durability for year-round use. Flooring is in large-format glazed porcelain stoneware tiles (100 x 100 cm), bringing a cool elegance underfoot and a cohesive visual line from room to room.
Four Bedrooms for Family, Friends, and Flexible Living
With four bedrooms, Villa 06 adapts naturally to different lifestyles&mdash whether you envision a family home in the hills, a Riviera base with room for guests, or a hybrid of living and working in a serene environment.
The broader design approach for the estate highlights a main suite on the ground floor as part of the everyday ease of single-level living, while upstairs at least one bedroom benefits from its own shower room and dressing area, and in some configurations an additional space such as a family room, library, or gym. This philosophy of comfort-forward planning defines the feel of the interiors: private zones are calm and well-proportioned, while the shared spaces remain open and social.
Outdoor Living, South-Facing and Sun-Warmed
Outside, the villa&rsquo s south orientation sets the tone for the day. Light arrives early, lingers across the terrace, and turns the garden into an extension of the living space for much of the year. The setting is deliberately verdant&mdash an intimate cocoon of Mediterranean planting that supports privacy and a sense of being held by nature.
A Poolside Life, Designed for Real Use
A private swimming pool anchors the outdoor experience, paired with a wooden pool deck that invites bare feet, sun loungers, and slow afternoons. The terrace is conceived as a true living area: somewhere to dine in the open air, read in the shade, and gather with friends as the temperature softens in the evening.
The estate&rsquo s landscaping is described as a living tapestry of Mediterranean species&mdash olive trees, mulberry and hackberry trees, laurels and other local varieties&mdash carefully composed to create a wooded, biodiverse backdrop. Private gardens are vegetated and benefit from automatic watering, ensuring the greenery remains lush with minimal effort.
High-End Comfort, Quietly Integrated
The specification across the estate is focused on modern wellbeing and long-term performance, with an eco-responsible mindset. Comfort is designed in&mdash not added as an afterthought.

Heating and cooling are provided by an individual reversible heat pump, managed by home automation.
Aluminium joinery with double insulating glazing enhances thermal comfort and year-round quiet.
Electric roller shutters in all rooms, with centralised control via home automation, add convenience and security.
Bathrooms are equipped with vanity units, backlit mirrors, and towel rails shower trays are ultra-flat (dimensions according to the architect&rsquo s plans).
Suspended WCs complete the clean, contemporary finish.
Enclosed garages are electrically equipped with a light point and sockets.

The overall effect is refined rather than showy: a home that feels calm, current, and easy to live in&mdash designed for both everyday routines and the spontaneous pleasures of the Riviera.
A Secure, Enclosed Estate of Just Ten Villas
Privacy here is not accidental it&rsquo s part of the concept. The estate is fully enclosed with wrought-iron fencing, reinforcing a sense of separation from the outside world without creating heaviness. Access points are under video surveillance, and a connected secure access control system is managed by smartphone or tablet, with Vigik® fob capability&mdash security that fits modern life and remains discreet in use.
Arrival feels intentional: carefully designed entrances and landscaped approaches that set the tone from the very first moments, framing the transition from the energy of the coast to the quieter pace of Mougins.
Mougins: Art, Gastronomy, and the Riviera Within Reach
Mougins has long embodied a particular Riviera ideal&mdash elegant, discreet, and deeply tied to culture and nature. Its medieval old village, with stone lanes and galleries, sits above the coastline like a lookout over the bay. Days can be as lively or as unhurried as you choose: a morning coffee in the village, a long lunch shaped by the region&rsquo s celebrated cuisine, an afternoon walk among pines, then an evening by the pool as the sky turns pale gold.
The setting offers practical convenience too, with key destinations and connections close by. The brochure notes approximate travel times: around 15 minutes to the beaches of the Croisette, and easy access to renowned golf courses and wooded trails. For families, the International Mougins School is indicated at approximately 9 minutes by car. Transport links include the Mouans-Sartoux station (around 5 km away) with Ter connections to Cannes, and regional airports within straightforward driving distance&mdash Cannes Mandelieu and Nice Cô te d&rsquo Azur.
From here, the Riviera opens up naturally: Cannes for its coastline and events, Antibes for its old town and harbour atmosphere, Grasse for perfume and hinterland character, and the wider Alpes-Maritimes for weekend escapes that range from sea to mountains.
A Home That Lets You Breathe
Villa 06 brings together what matters on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur: privacy without isolation, contemporary design rooted in the landscape, and an outdoor life that feels effortless. With four bedrooms, generous interior space, a south-facing garden, and the daily pleasure of a private pool, it&rsquo s a refined backdrop for every season in Mougins&mdash whether you arrive for summers of sun and swimming, or settle in for year-round living in one of the Riviera&rsquo s most enduringly desirable villages.
