Provençal Property with Designer Gardens in a Coveted French Riviera Enclave

Listed with Emile Garcin for €16,960,000, this 8,600 sq ft (800 m²) Provençal residence sits quietly on 3.2 acres (1.3 hectares) of landscaped grounds by Jean Mus—one of the Riviera’s most respected landscape designers, known for shaping estates across the Côte d’Azur. His signature blend of Mediterranean formality and natural flow is evident in the mature gardens, seamless terraces, and panoramic sea views.

Tucked into the hills of Castellaras—a discreet enclave between Mougins and Valbonne—the property shares its setting with some of the Riviera’s most significant private estates, including landmark family compounds that have shaped the area’s reputation for privacy and understated luxury. Long favored by families seeking seclusion with access to Cannes, international schools, and the Provençal hinterland, Castellaras remains one of the coast’s most established and quietly prestigious addresses.

The main house pairs traditional Provençal lines with open, generously scaled interiors—formal reception rooms, two dining areas, a family kitchen, and a central patio designed for indoor-outdoor living. Ten bedrooms are spread across the main residence, a two-bedroom guest house, and a two-bedroom caretaker’s cottage. Upstairs, five en suite bedrooms include a master suite with private office, dressing room, and a sea-facing terrace.

A 46-foot (14-meter) swimming pool with a fully equipped pool house and summer kitchen, a tennis court, and a four-car garage complete the grounds—all behind secured gates. A classic Riviera property with the right mix of scale, design pedigree, and low-key location—close enough to Cannes but anchored in one of the region’s most discreet hillside settings.
