Hus for Køb i Biot, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur

Sole agent - We are pleased to present an exceptional property just 500 meters from the entrance to the charming medieval village of Biot in "prime location" in a quiet and highly sought-after residential area. The land is somewhat sloped and offers a lovely view of the Mediterranean to the east and a green hillside to the south-southwest. There is a great hiking terrain "right outside the door". The villa was designed in an original and contemporary style by the highly acclaimed French architect François Druet, who, among others, designed the festival palace in Cannes. The original villa was completed in 1983 but was later subject to a significant further development based on a building permit (completion in 2009). In 2024, the villa was totally repainted (interior and façade) and was equipped with a new Daikin cooling and heating system (heat pumps). The property has been well maintained and is ready to be moved into without any works. The entrance to the property is via an automated sliding gate. The driveway leads to the north rear of the house with several parking spaces, two of which are covered. The villa has a net living area of 235m² (usable area 257m²) and consists of a spacious entrance hall (12m²) which leads into a dining room (26m²), a fully equipped, partly open kitchen (20m²) and further to a bright living room with a fireplace (35m²). The dining room and kitchen open via large sliding door windows onto the terrace, the swimming pool and a beautiful and intimate covered lounge area. On this level there are also two bedrooms (respectively 14 and 15m² - one of which is currently furnished as a gym), a bathroom with bath and wc and a shower room with wc; In addition, there is a laundry room. From the bedrooms there is an exit to the garden's olive grove. An elegant staircase leads up to the villa's second floor with a set of stairs whose design gives an airy and elegant atrium feel. There are two further bedrooms (respectively 21 and 17m²), one of which has a shower and wc, while the other has a bathroom with a bath and wc. On this floor there are three terraces facing all directions with exits from the atrium and/or the bedrooms. From this floor there is a beautiful view towards Biot village and the Mediterranean Sea. The villa built above a crawl space, is equipped with double glazing, automatic roller blinds, awnings, tiled bathrooms, AC (new), water softener (Culligan) and is otherwise well insulated. The building structure is in concrete with large window surfaces shedding a great deal of light in this exceptional villa. The plot (2013m²) is fenced and on two levels. The top level, directly outside the house's living room, is partly tiled, partly clad in wood around a beautiful swimming pool 3 x 8 meters with an outdoor shower. Above the pool there is an elegant pool house in the form of a covered structure in a stylish curve shape and plenty of space for a long table and lounge area. From here you have a lovely view of the Mediterranean. On the same level there is an olive grove with 10 olive trees, several fruit trees, palm trees etc. The lower level is natural land planted with cypresses and olive trees which can be further developed as desired. The property has automatic irrigation as well as outdoor lighting in the garden and around the villa. The property is not currently connected to the public sewage system as the municipality's plans have not yet been further developed for the area. It is therefore equipped with a septic tank and a drainage field that filters the effluents. *** Biot is a very attractive, charming and authentic medieval French village only 3 km from the beach and the Mediterranean, 20 minutes from Nice airport and 25 minutes from Cannes. The municipality has approximately 10,000 inhabitants, several golf courses, Europe's largest tennis academy (Mouratoglou), good restaurants, world-class glass artists and various festivals, of which France's largest Knights Templar festival is the most famous. From the property there is easy access to the village via a pleasant little cul-de-sac as well as to a great walking path along the river La Brague all the way up to the village of Valbonne. *** Contact us for more information or a viewing of this great property which is suitable as both a holiday home and a year-round home.
