Quiet, surrounded by olive trees, walking distance to Valbonne

Description

Beautiful, quiet, sunlit spacious villa, sitting on 6700 square meters of land with olive trees, old oaks, fig trees, wild flowers, laurel and lavender bushes. 5 minute walk along a country path to charming Valbonne village, with its restaurants, cafés, artisans, weekly public market and bookstore. 20 minutes by car to Cannes, Antibes and the beaches of Côte d'azur (also easily accessible by public transport). 30 kilometers to the mountains and the quiet villages of the arrière-pays. 30 minutes from Nice international airport. We are a family of academics, living in Montreal (Canada) with roots in Southern France. Our affiliations are with McGill University and Université du Québec à Montréal. The house we are listing here sits on land that has been in the family for centuries and belonged to our grand father, a writer and professor of French literature at the University of Nice. The area is beautiful, quiet, and close to everything you might need. Our grand-father was a gentleman farmer. You will feel that here.
