Here, nature is a true haven, offering rare privacy and a soothing atmosphere throughout the year. In the heart of the garden, an elegant lap pool blends seamlessly into the landscape.

A large cellar, a spacious attic, and covered parking complete the amenities of this property, which offers a wealth of potential. The location is also a rare privilege. The village of La Gaude is within walking distance, allowing you to enjoy its shops, schools, and lifestyle while benefiting from a particularly peaceful and green residential environment.
