Keywords: House
Beautiful architectural house designed by famed architect Jacques Couelle, set in Castellaras le Vieux, a unique private domaine/village (24 hour security) in the hills overlooking Mougins and Cannes.
The house is located on the highest point just beneath the Chateau and therefore has a commanding 220-degree view facing south with views of the countryside and distant sea ranging from Nice to Mandelieu, the Esterel Massif with the village of Mougins and the Bay of Cannes directly in front.
There are 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, dining room, slate floors, high ceilings and 2 large terraces for outdoor dining, as well as a private tower terrace for sunbathing. The villa is built on three levels with 220 squared meters of living space with lots of light, total privacy and beautiful gardens.
All the bedrooms are equipped with modern air conditioning units with remotes.
It is located in the very exclusive, private domaine of Castellaras; eighty houses set around a medieval castle (rebuilt by Couelle in the 1930s) share over 20 hectares of communal natural landscape peppered by olive trees (not one of which was cut down by Couelle for the construction of the villas).
Castellaras is located just 25 minutes from the Nice airport off of the A8, the main Riviera motorway and 20 minutes away from the center of Cannes.
The Domaine is security guarded 24 hours a day, has 5 tennis courts (4 hard courts and 1 clay court) and 2 pools. One pool is huge as one part slopes like a beach, and the other area is good for actual swimming and is open in the summertime when there is also a lifeguard on duty.
The second pool is located at the Chateau and reserved for adults (over 15 years old). It is open from spring through the fall and is heated. The Chateau pool has magnificent views over the countryside and sea beyond. It also has a restaurant. The château is very picturesque and has rooms for rent if needed for guests.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1972
Why the Owner Chose Mougins
My family has been coming to this area for almost 50 years as it is still one of the most charming and picturesque areas. The domain itself is unique and we first came here several years after it was first built. After having lived in many places throughout the world and seen much architecture, Castellaras still stands out as an organic and living work of art.
The Unique Benefits of this House
You are in the hills above Cannes secluded in amazing scenery yet close to the crowds and lights if needed.
