Full Description:

A unique 200-year old stone property in an old farmhouse. It is the whole of the ground floor, measuring some 225m², with lots of character and in excellent condition, with a 1630m² private garden. This used to be the mule station, where mules were changed on the road from Nice & the coast to Grasse. The old manger is still incorporated into the present dining room.

Well-located in the village of Roquefort les Pins :
· 2 mins from shops and all amenities, including 2 excellent restaurants within 3 mins and a good direct-from-vineyard wine shop.
· 15 mins from the beaches of Cagnes and Villeneuve Loubet, and from the A8 autoroute.
· 20 mins from Nice airport and from Antibes.
· 3 golf courses within 15 mins drive.
· Junior and secondary schools in the village, and the CIV international school is just 15 mins away in Sophia Antipolis. The International School of Nice (ISN) is 25 mins.
· School bus stops, including for the ISN, are only a short walk away.
· The bus stop on the Nice-Grasse route is also only a short walk away, which calls in at Nice airport.

Accommodation, all on one floor :
The centrepiece of this property is a vast loft-like living space of 90m² with ancient terracotta tiled floors and magnificent stone vaulted ceilings supported by two central pillars, tastefully lit by two lines of contemporary hallogen spots. It is actually 4 spaces : an entrance hall ; a cosy winter lounge area with a big timber-beamed fireplace ; a spacious dining area with the ancient manger for the mules built-in ; and the summer lounge & TV area.
A spacious and fully equipped Provencal kitchen, very charming with vaulted ceilings and old terracotta tiled floors.
4 double bedrooms, two with outside access. Again the vaulted ceilings and stone walls give bags of Provencale character.
2 bathrooms: one with a superb antique cast-iron bath, the other with marble floor and separate shower & bath.
An office area with broad-band internet connection.
2 WCs.
A double cellar & laundry room : one part has perfect cellaring conditions for wine, and a sink plus plumbing connections for the washing machine ; the other houses the town gas boiler, with outside access.

You don’t need A/c because the thick stone walls insulate perfectly from both the winter chill and the summer heat. Central heating is provided by very efficient antique cast-iron radiators.
Satellite TV.

This property is part of a co-propriété, with other apartments above (neighbours can be a good thing for a holiday home if you only visit occasionally). Charges are €150 per month.

Garden :
There is a pretty & private southeast-facing terrace, tiled and festooned with flowers & shrubs, with attractive views down the garden: two flat grass lawns linked by some broad paved steps. A wonderful sun trap.

The private garden boasts a fabulous range of mature trees and shrubs, including lemons & oranges, 8 ancient olive trees, a pomegranate, several old fig trees, apples & pears, several cherry trees, and an aromatic pepper tree. Shrubs: a magnificent purple bougainvillea, a mauve wisteria, jasmin, roses, a young palm, many sculptural Mediterranean agaves & yukka’s. Herbs: abundant rosemary, sage, mint & lavender. It is partly a walled garden enclosed by a 200-year old stone wall.

There is parking for 2 cars plus more spaces for guests.

Stone properties with this charming authentic Provencale character rarely come onto the market – to be visited without delay.
