A €16 Million Private Tennis Estate in Grasse’s Saint-Jean Hillside Enclave

Listed at €16,000,000 and offered by Home Hunts, this French Riviera estate brings together multiple independent residences and a full-size private tennis court within approximately 7.4 acres (3 hectares) of landscaped grounds in the hillside enclave of Grasse’s Saint-Jean district, widely regarded as one of the town’s most discreet residential areas.

Set above the historic center, Saint-Jean is characterized by low density, large parcels, and long-term residential ownership. Development has remained limited, and properties are typically set back from the road, accessed by private drives and surrounded by mature planting.

The main residence is a traditional Provençal bastide restored under the direction of an Italian interior architect. The exterior retains its original form, while the interiors have been updated to contemporary standards. Total built area across the estate measures approximately 700 m² (about 7,535 sq ft).

The bastide includes four suites, a formal dining room, and a living room opening onto shaded terraces. A country kitchen connects directly to outdoor dining areas, supporting daily use alongside larger gatherings.

Accommodation beyond the main house is distributed across several independent buildings. A separate apartment provides two additional suites, while an independent guest house includes three suites with its own living room and kitchen. A caretaker’s cottage supports estate operations.

A private tennis court sits centrally within the grounds and is integrated into the landscape. Oriented toward open countryside, it has views extending to the Mediterranean on clear days.

Outdoor amenities also include a swimming pool with pool house, olive groves, landscaped gardens, and water features. These elements are distributed across the site rather than concentrated in a single zone.

In total, the property offers nine bedroom suites arranged across the grounds rather than within a single structure, allowing multiple households to occupy the estate simultaneously.

The landscape follows the natural slope of the site, with terraces, paths, and planting integrated into the terrain. Built elements sit within the land rather than above it.

Internationally recognized as the historic center of perfumery, Grasse is designated a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire and is located approximately 18 km from Cannes and 37 km from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, within reach of the Riviera but removed from the coastal strip.

Taken together, the estate combines land, multiple residences, and recreational infrastructure in one of Grasse’s established residential districts.
