Villa for sale in Cannes, Le Cannet, France
Ref 072013-001 - Gorgeous Victorian style Villa for sale in Le Cannet, Cannes - Dating back to 1890, this stunning family home is beautifully maintained with its' original charm remaining intact. Built on 3 levels, there are a number of indoor and outdoor living areas, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the West side of the house is a covered winter veranda, which opens out in the summer, through sliding doors, into a lovely garden with pizza oven and barbeque, and a large patio beautifully shaded by a magnificent Mulberry tree. On the East side of the house, the dining room doors open out to a sunny breakfast patio, mature garden and swimming pool. Within 10 minutes of central Cannes, and close to local shops, there is covered parking for 2 cars, and space for more parking. This has been a much loved family home for over 30 years, and while in very good condition, it will require some updating. AREA DESCRIPTION: Le Cannet is a popular residential suburb in the quiet hills close to the eastern edge of Cannes, and home to a few very exclusive apartment blocks with panoramic views, and dotted with luxurious villas. It is an extension of Super Cannes and abuts Mougins at its northernmost edge. Situated as it is, just inland of Cannes, Le Cannet was considered a part of Cannes until 1774 when it was separated administratively to become its own commune. Built on the gentle slopes of seven hills, the views of Cannes, the Bay of Cannes, the Islands of Lerins and the âsunset hillsâ of the Massif Estérel far to the west, are breathtaking. The Mairie is proud of Le Cannet and maximises its advantages whenever it is able to. Most recently they did so by turning a rough track (originally used as an old Roman Road, and still with traces of Roman use) into what is now a lovely walk with numerous spectacular viewing points along its' length. This path follows the contour from above the Old Town of Le Cannet eastwards past many glorious villas, towards Golfe Juan. We long ago discovered the âOld Townâ of Le Vieux Cannet and have been regulars there ever since. It is not frequented much by tourists although it has some notable attractions, character townhouses and villas and some truly excellent restaurants â our favourite is âLe Coin Gourmetâ, but a more recent addition is âLa Villa Archangeâ in Rue Notre Dame des Anges. Owned by renowned chef Bruno Olger (formerly head chef of the Majestic Hotel in Cannes), it was awarded two Michelin Stars in Le Cannet in 2011. There are many others and dining in Le Cannet is both a well kept secret delight, and affordable! Le Vieux Cannet is a maze of twisting narrow cobbled streets, chapels, artisan workshops, and beautiful turn of the century properties surrounded by secret gardens away from the noise of the city. It is rich in culture and history and LâEglise Sainte-Catherine, built in 1556, is a treasure trove, as are Les Chapelles de Notre-Dame and Saint-Sauveur. Within the maze one stumbles across frescos and tromps lâoeils, including the Heritage Orange Tree fresco on the spectacular open Place Bellevue, which shows the family tree of the 140 families from Italy who founded Le Cannet in 1441. Perhaps the most visited attraction however is the Musée Bonnard. Pierre Bonnard, who died in 1947, lived and worked in Le Cannet and regularly walked the village streets and the Roman contour path for inspiration. Matisse described him as âthe greatest amongst usâ. Many of his major works are on exhibition at the Museum and it is well worth a visit.
