Vence: Estate of 3 Villas with Panoramic Sea Views

Nestled in one of the most sought-after areas of the French Riviera, this exceptional property offers a unique opportunity for a large family or a company to acquire a vast private estate comprising three villas. Perched high above Vence in a preserved setting with no overlooking neighbours, it enjoys a rare location combining total privacy with spectacular views.

From its 2.4-hectare landscaped park, designed by renowned landscape architect Jean Mus, the breathtaking 220° panorama sweeps from the mountains east of Monaco, over Nice and Antibes, all the way to Cannes, Théoule, and the Esterel Peninsula.

Created nearly forty years ago by a British family, the estate has been carefully expanded and restored over time, incorporating neighbouring plots while preserving the authenticity of its buildings. Today, it consists of the main manor house, Le Mas de l’Escarène, a traditional stone Provençal farmhouse, and the Abbaye de l’Escarène, which has been entirely rebuilt and renovated to the highest standards. The restoration was completed very recently.

The property offers 25 rooms in total, including 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, spread across the three villas and their annexes. Its outstanding facilities include two swimming pools, a large jacuzzi, a tennis court with its own pavilion, a sauna, a pétanque court, two orchards, and eight terraces with 42 olive trees producing around 1.5 tons of olives and 150 litres of olive oil each year (2024 harvest). An old shepherd’s hut, preserved in its original state, overlooks the villas from five terraces above.

Regarded as one of the largest and most prestigious estates ever offered for sale in the highly desirable Saint-Paul and Vence area, it stands out for its absolute tranquillity and unique atmosphere. Here, you feel in the heart of Provence, yet only 5 minutes from the historic centre of Vence and 20 minutes from the beaches and attractions of the Mediterranean coast.
