A French Estate in Grasse
As someone who not only represents luxury property in the region but also calls Grasse home, Home Hunts director Tim Swannie shared his thoughts:
“This property is incredibly special — it really captures the romance of Provence. The location is great, totally peaceful but only 10 minutes from Grasse and Mougins and, like many 1930’s properties, it is spacious and really elegant. The manicured grounds are stunning too, once you are through those gates, you are in your own piece of paradise”
And on life in Grasse:
“I chose to live in Grasse myself because it offers a great lifestyle — there’s a real sense of community here, with authentic Provençal charm, incredible scenery, great shops and restaurants and a pace of life that lets you breathe. You’re within easy reach of Cannes and the coast as well as Nice airport, but you feel a world away from the coastal crowds.”
