Overview:
This extraordinary detached villa represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history on the French Riviera. Built in the mid-1960s by the legendary Russian-French architect André Svetchine-celebrated for his masterful provencal stone estates and high-profile commissions for icons like Christian Dior and Fernand Léger-this property perfectly captures his signature style. The home features a captivating architecture reminiscent of a medieval castle, anchored by a magnificent characteristic round tower.
The villa is nestled within a lush, absolutely calm Mediterranean landscape. The property sits on a relatively flat plot of approximately 2,000m2, boasting an ideal south-facing orientation that floods the estate with natural sunlight throughout the day. A major highlight of the exterior is the generous 10m x 5m heated swimming pool, surrounded by natural stone terracing.
From its elevated, peaceful position, the villa offers dramatic, panoramic vistas looking directly toward the historic medieval village of Carros, as well as partial sea views over the horizon. The estate features a total surface area of 270m2, with 210m2 of interior living space. Additional modern comforts include a closed car garage, a spacious independent kitchen, a monumental stone fireplace in the living room, and the highly desirable benefit of being fully connected to the main drainage system. With 5 spacious bedrooms spread across three independent levels, the property offers incredible versatility, making it a perfect grand family residence or a high-potential boutique bed & breakfast (chambres d'hôtes) investment.

area:
The property is situated in the highly sought-after residential countryside of Carros, a historic and picturesque commune located in the immediate hinterland of Nice. Unlike isolated countryside properties, this villa offers the ultimate balance of absolute tranquility and urban accessibility.
The charming medieval perched village of Carros (Carros Village), with its 12th-century castle, narrow cobblestone streets, traditional restaurants, and local artistic culture, is just a scenic 15-minute walk away. For daily conveniences, the modern sectors of Carros and the neighboring Ecovalley provide expansive shopping centers, international schools, medical facilities, and thriving business hubs just a short drive down the hillside.
Connectivity is a premier asset of this location. Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport is accessible within a seamless 20-minute drive via the major departmental routes, linking you directly to international destinations. The vibrant Promenade des Anglais, the beaches of Nice, and the highway connections to Cannes and Monaco are equally within fast, easy reach, making this an ideal base for enjoying the very best of the French Riviera lifestyle.
