A rare opportunity for a large family or business to purchase a grand family estate of three villas situated in a very private but dominant position in the most sought-after location in the heights above Vence, on the Cote d'Azur. From practically anywhere in this magnificent 6-acre park designed by celebrated 'paysagiste' Jean Mus, there are 220-degree views which stretch from the mountains behind Monaco in the East, across Nice and Antibes to Cannes, Théoule and the Esterel peninsular beyond.First established by a British family almost 40 years ago, the estate has been developed steadily over the years with the restoration of existing buildings and the acquisition of neighbouring land and properties. In addition to the principal manor house, le Mas de l’Escarène, the estate now also includes a traditional stone-built Mas Provencal. L'Abey de l'Escarène has been rebuilt and restored from the ground up using the finest modern luxury materials. The restoration project has only recently been completed. With a total of 25 rooms spread across the three villas and their dependencies, the estate offers 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 2 swimming pools, a very large jacuzzi/hot tub, a tennis court and tennis pavilion, a sauna, a bouledrome, 2 orchards and 8 terraces that are home to 42 olive trees that yield 1.5 tonnes of olives and 150 litres of olive oil (2024 harvest) each year. An old shepherd’s hut (unrestored) is situated 5 terraces above the estate’s three villas below.The Domaine is one of the largest and most prestigious properties to ever come to market in the much sought-after area of St Paul and Vence. What sets this estate and its gardens apart from many other prestige properties in the area is that it offers total peace, calm and tranquillity. With no close neighbours, residents of the estate gain a sense of being right in the heart of Provence. Only the breath-taking 180-degree panoramic views of the entire coast remind you that all the attractions of the coast are within close striking distance (20 mins) with the beautiful historical town of Vence, Cité des Arts, just 5 minutes away by car. Armed with a flight-tracking app like Flight Radar 24, you can even watch your guests’ plane as it comes in to land on the runway of Nice airport, just 15 Kms distant, before setting off to collect them!
