Set on the peaceful hills of Mougins, this architect-designed villa invites you into a life of sun, privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Around 280 m² of thoughtfully composed space opens through wide bay windows onto generous terraces, a landscaped garden of approx. 2,431.50 m², and a private pool edged with a wooden deck. With 5 bedrooms and a layout designed for comfort across seasons, it balances contemporary lines with a calm, Mediterranean feel. The setting is discreet and secure within a fully enclosed private estate of just ten villas, minutes from the old village and the Riviera’s best addresses.

A Riviera Rhythm, Wrapped in Green
On the gentle hills of Mougins, where stone lanes lead to galleries, fine tables and sun-warmed terraces, this south-facing villa settles into its landscape with quiet confidence. The atmosphere here is unmistakably Provenç al&mdash olive trees and Mediterranean planting, soft light across the garden, and that sense of calm you feel the moment the gate closes behind you.
Designed as part of an intimate private estate of only ten architect villas, the setting is deliberately discreet: fully enclosed, protected by video surveillance at the entrances, and planned to preserve the privacy of each home. It is a place for unhurried mornings, long lunches outdoors, and evenings by the pool as the light turns golden across the greenery.
Architecture That Lets the Light In
Contemporary in its lines yet respectful of the natural character of Mougins, the villa is composed in interlocking volumes that follow the terrain. Facades combine sand-toned render with stone accents and aluminium pergola elements, creating a refined dialogue of textures&mdash crisp, modern, and grounded in the landscape.
Inside, the design prioritises clarity of space and natural brightness. Around 280 m² of living area is arranged to feel fluid and intuitive, with wide openings that extend daily life outward. Large aluminium-framed bay windows with double insulating glazing draw the garden into view and invite the south-facing sun deep into the rooms.
The Heart of the Home: Open Living, Effortless Entertaining
The main living spaces are imagined for real Riviera living&mdash easy, sociable, and connected to the outdoors. A generous open-plan composition allows the kitchen to engage naturally with the living and dining areas, so conversation moves freely from the hob to the table to the terrace. The finish is designed to feel crisp and contemporary, with smooth paint throughout and large-format glazed porcelain stoneware tiles (100 x 100 cm) that bring a clean, calm elegance underfoot.
Practicality is seamlessly integrated. A pantry or laundry room extends the functionality of the kitchen zone&mdash an invaluable detail for everyday ease, summer hosting, or longer stays when you want the house to run smoothly in the background.
Five Bedrooms, Designed for Privacy and Flexibility
With five bedrooms, the villa offers the space to welcome family and friends while preserving a sense of intimacy. The brochure concept places particular emphasis on comfort across two levels: a layout that supports both togetherness and retreat.
One of the defining comforts is the main suite on the ground floor, embodying the pleasure of single-level daily living&mdash ideal when you want the ease of stepping directly from bedroom calm into the garden light. Upstairs, at least one bedroom benefits from its own shower room and dressing room, and the overall design allows for additional lifestyle space depending on final configuration&mdash whether you imagine a family room, a fitness area, or a library-like nook for quiet reading.
To help each home feel genuinely personal, the programme includes the option of personalised support with an interior designer, allowing owners to refine atmosphere and finishes within the framework of the architect&rsquo s vision.
Outdoor Living: Terraces, Pool, and a Garden Made for Slow Days
Life in Mougins is lived outdoors as much as indoors, and the villa embraces that instinct. Wide openings lead to a generous terrace, conceived as an extension of the living spaces&mdash perfect for breakfasts in the sun, shaded afternoons under pergola lines, and long dinners that drift into the evening.
The garden unfolds across approximately 2,431.50 m² , landscaped with Mediterranean species and designed to feel both lush and effortless. Planting mentioned for the estate includes olive trees, mulberry trees, hackberry trees and laurels, with additional carefully chosen Mediterranean varieties. Automatic watering supports the greenery through the warmer months, preserving that composed, fresh look that makes a garden feel like part of the architecture.
At the centre of the outdoor experience sits a private swimming pool, edged by a wooden pool deck. It is the kind of setting that naturally shapes a day: an early swim, a quiet hour on a sunlounger, then the gentle soundtrack of water while lunch is prepared with the doors open to the terrace.
Comfort Across Seasons: Intelligent, Eco-Responsible Choices
While the atmosphere is unmistakably Mediterranean, the villa is also designed for year-round comfort, with features selected in an eco-responsible approach. Heating and cooling are provided by an individual reversible heat pump, managed via home automation, so the interior remains comfortable through summer heat and cooler winter evenings alike.
Daily living is simplified by smart controls and thoughtful specifications, including electric roller shutters in all rooms with centralised control (also managed by home automation). Bathrooms are planned with a refined contemporary feel: vanity units, backlit mirrors, towel rails, ultra-flat shower trays (dimensions according to the architect&rsquo s plans), and suspended WCs.
A Discreet, Secure Address Within a Private Estate
The wider setting is part of what makes this home so compelling. The estate is described as entirely enclosed, bordered by wrought-iron fencing, with video surveillance at each entrance for peace of mind. Access is controlled via a connected secure access-control system managed by smartphone or tablet, alongside a Vigik® fob system&mdash modern security designed to feel seamless rather than intrusive.
For practical ownership, the villa includes enclosed garages equipped with electrical points, lighting, and sockets&mdash useful for everyday convenience and for keeping the home organised across seasons.
Mougins: Art, Gastronomy, and the Calm Above Cannes
Mougins holds a special place on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur: elegant, discreet, and deeply connected to art and nature. The medieval old village is celebrated for its galleries, its stone streets filled with light, and a culinary scene that draws visitors year-round. Yet despite its reputation, the atmosphere remains wonderfully residential&mdash green, quiet, and composed.
From here, the Riviera opens in every direction. According to the brochure&rsquo s travel indications, the villa sits within easy reach of daily life and coastal highlights: around 4 minutes by car to the medieval village of Mougins, about 5 minutes to the Cours des Arts (shops, terraces and cinema), and approximately 15 minutes to the beaches of Cannes&rsquo Croisette. Golf lovers are well served by prestigious local courses, and wooded paths nearby offer a more natural counterpoint to the coastline.
Connectivity is equally practical. The expressway linking Cannes and Grasse and onward access to the A8 is indicated at around 5 minutes by car, supporting easy movement towards Nice, Marseille and beyond. The Mougins School is noted at approximately 9 minutes by car. For rail connections, Mouans-Sartoux station is indicated at about 5 km, with a Ter link to Cannes in around 15 minutes. Air travel is served by Cannes Mandelieu Airport (around 20 minutes by car) and Nice Cô te d&rsquo Azur International Airport (around 30 minutes by car).
An Address That Feels Both Private and Perfectly Connected
This is a home designed for those who want the best of both worlds: the serenity of a protected, landscaped setting, and the immediacy of Mougins&rsquo cultural life and the Cô te d&rsquo Azur coastline. South-Facing, light-filled, and shaped around the pleasures of terraces and poolside living, it offers a refined base for everyday life, extended family summers, and the kind of Riviera weekends that never feel hurried.
