Grasse
A large 18th-century Provencal country house, with its gardens and sea views, in the middle of the world's perfume capital. A few minutes from the historical downtown area of Grasse, the property is made up of a group of buildings surrounded by vegetation, in the middle of the city, while, perched halfway up the hillside, it enjoys unobstructed panoramic views of the sea and the neighbouring countryside. Situated on a plot of land of more than 4,000 m² and nestled within a rolling landscape, it is made up of a long rectangular main building, as well as a caretaker's cottage. The first is a three-storey construction typical of the 18th century, which was most likely extended lengthwise later on, judging how its roof changes in height almost at its centre, while the second building, located at the property's entrance, is more modest in size, of similar craftsmanship and from the same period as the main dwelling. Featuring solid constructions, with thick local stone walls covered in light-colour plaster, rectilinear windows placed densely and symmetrically throughout, ashlar stone window/door surrounds or brick window ledges, as well as barrel tile gable roofs, the property also includes, in front of the main dwelling and facing mostly south, a flat swath of lawn with a swimming pool as well as a terraced garden flourishing with vegetation.
