Set into a gently sloping hillside in Mougins, this south-facing villa captures the unhurried rhythm of the Riviera—light, greenery and long afternoons outdoors. Around 159.55 m² of thoughtfully designed living space opens onto a generous private garden of approximately 805.10 m² with a private pool and wooden deck. Architect-led contemporary lines meet Provençal textures, with large bay windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Within a secure, enclosed private estate under video surveillance, daily life feels both effortless and discreet—minutes from the old village and the coast beyond.

A Riviera rhythm, lived in green and light
In Mougins, life naturally slows. The air carries a Mediterranean softness, the landscape is punctuated by cypress and olive trees, and the days seem designed for outdoor living&mdash coffee in the morning sun, an easy swim as the afternoon warms, dinner that lingers well after dusk. This south-facing villa embraces that spirit, offering a calm, contemporary home set within a private, landscaped environment where nature and architecture are intentionally intertwined.
With approximately 159.55 m² of interior space and around 805.10 m² of private outdoor grounds, the property is conceived as a personal haven: generous yet intimate, refined yet effortless, designed to feel as good in everyday life as it does during long summer stays. A private pool and wooden pool deck extend the living experience outdoors, while large glazed openings draw sunlight deep into the home from morning to evening.
Architecture that feels at home in Provence
The villa&rsquo s design speaks the language of the Cô te d&rsquo Azur today&mdash clean contemporary volumes softened by Provenç al textures and natural tones. Rendered facades sit alongside carefully chosen stone detailing and aluminium pergolas, creating a composed palette that feels both modern and grounded in place. Glass balustrades and wide bay windows emphasise openness and continuity, keeping the garden always within view.
Set on a terraced plot typical of the area, the project&rsquo s guiding idea is gentle integration: buildings that follow the land rather than dominate it, and outdoor spaces shaped to preserve a sense of privacy. The result is a home that feels calm from the moment you arrive&mdash discreetly positioned, framed by greenery, and protected from the outside world without ever feeling closed in.
Light-filled interiors designed for flowing, modern living
Inside, the atmosphere is defined by space and clarity. Smooth finishes and large-format porcelain stoneware tiles (100 x 100 cm) create a quiet, contemporary backdrop, allowing natural light and the surrounding vegetation to take centre stage. The layout is conceived around a lifestyle that moves easily between indoors and out: living areas that naturally extend to sunlit terraces, and a sense of connection to the pool and garden throughout the day.
The home includes four bedrooms, offering flexibility for family living, hosting guests, or creating dedicated spaces for work and leisure. The overall feeling is one of balance&mdash room to gather, room to retreat, and the ease of a property designed for year-round comfort on the Riviera.
The comfort of today, quietly integrated
Modern comfort is present throughout, but it is integrated with discretion&mdash technology that supports daily life rather than overwhelming it. Heating and cooling are provided by an individual reversible heat pump (aero-thermal), with home automation control to manage comfort efficiently. Aluminium joinery with double insulating glazing helps maintain a serene interior environment, while electric roller shutters throughout the villa provide shade and privacy at the touch of a button, also managed via home automation.
Bathrooms are specified to a high standard, with vanity units, backlit mirrors and towel rails, alongside an ultra-flat shower tray as per the architect&rsquo s plans. Practicality continues with suspended WCs for a clean, contemporary finish.
Outdoor life: a private garden, a pool, and the feeling of space
In Mougins, outdoor living is not a seasonal luxury&mdash it is the natural way of life. Here, the villa opens onto a private exterior of approximately 805.10 m² , landscaped to feel green, calm and subtly structured. The garden is designed as a living setting, with Mediterranean species and a planting approach that supports both privacy and biodiversity.
At its heart lies the private swimming pool, edged by a wooden deck that invites bare feet, sun loungers, and impromptu gatherings. The outdoor spaces are imagined as a continuation of the home: a place for long lunches in the shade, evening aperitifs as the air cools, and quiet mornings with nothing but birdsong and soft light.
Automatic garden watering is included, helping the landscape remain lush and well-kept with minimal effort&mdash an understated but meaningful detail for those who value ease as much as beauty.
A secure, discreet setting created for peace of mind
The villa sits within an enclosed private estate designed to feel serene and confidential. The approach is carefully composed, the atmosphere intentionally quiet, and the overall scale deliberately limited, preserving a sense of space and discretion. Access points are placed under video surveillance, and the estate benefits from a connected secure access-control system, managed by smartphone or tablet, as well as a Vigik® fob system.
For daily reassurance, the villa is fitted with an insulated protective entrance door with an A2P 5-point safety lock. Practical needs are also addressed: enclosed garages are electrically equipped with lighting and sockets&mdash ideal for modern life on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur, whether that means e-bikes, storage, or simply arriving home with everything neatly organised.
Mougins: art, gastronomy and a beautifully balanced Riviera address
Perched above Cannes, Mougins is celebrated for its elegance and its discretion. It is a place where art and nature share the spotlight&mdash mediaeval lanes glowing in the sun, galleries that invite wandering, and a renowned culinary scene that draws those who appreciate authenticity as much as refinement. Days can begin with a stroll through the old village, continue with a long lunch on a terrace, and end with a sunset drive towards the coast.
The location combines residential tranquillity with outstanding connectivity. The old village is just a few minutes away by car, as is the newer heart of Mougins with its shops, terraces and cinema. For culture and events, the Scè ne 55 performance venue is nearby. For golf enthusiasts, Mougins is positioned as a prestigious golfing destination, while wooded walking routes and green spaces support an active, outdoor lifestyle.
