This elegant manor house, La Mougine, is set in its own complex of 6.5 acres and comes with a pool, hilltop views, tennis courts and a terrace. Facing predominantly south and surrounded by wonderful landscaped gardens with oak, orange, citron and olive trees which are centuries old, the property has lovely terraces from which one can enjoy extensive views over Cannes Bay and the hills of Esterel. The park of 26000m2 has been designed by Jean Mus, one of France's leading landscape gardeners, so as to capitalise on the terraced setting of the property. Steps lined by impressive Cypress trees lead down to the magnificent swimming pool area, the stone walled tennis court and the petanque pitch. The property divides into the Manor house, the Farm house (actually used as an office, but could easily be used as guest house), artist's studio as well as the chapel which has been converted into a guest house. The principal house offers an entrance hall, library, study reception room, enclosed loggia, dining room, wonderful Provencal and yet modern kitchen and living areas, sitting room, master bedroom suite, 3 en suite guest bedrooms and three further bedrooms as well as a self contained guest apartment and two staff apartments, all of which lead out onto the terrace and look down over the garden and towards Cannes. La Mougine is conveniently situated within a walking distance of the charming and renowned hilltop village of Mougins. Mougins is a superb medieval village nestled among pine and Cyprus trees, and olive groves. It is situated on the Cote d’Azur, only 15 minutes from the famous and glamorous town of Cannes. The site has been occupied since the pre-Roman period and has gained a reputation for its exclusivity.

It is also famous for its excellent golf courses. Amenities include shops, restaurants, bakeries, banks and supermarkets.
