A Historic Provençal Estate Within Walking Distance of Valbonne

Just a short walk from the picturesque medieval village of Valbonne, Domaine de la Sylviane is an exceptional historic estate set within more than 10 hectares of private Provençal countryside.

Dating back to the 17th century, this former monastic estate has witnessed more than three centuries of history. Its historic stone buildings, timeless architecture and mature gardens create a rare atmosphere of authenticity, tranquillity and understated elegance.

The estate comprises five principal stone buildings, with 13 bedrooms distributed throughout the property, offering remarkable flexibility for family living, welcoming guests and enjoying the estate with complete privacy.

The principal residence, built around an inner courtyard, retains the character of traditional Provençal architecture, with exposed beams, antique stone steps, charming reception rooms and a beautiful wisteria-adorned entrance. Carefully restored over the years, it combines historic charm with contemporary comfort, including a private lift.

Several independent guest residences provide additional accommodation, each with its own distinctive character, living spaces and outlook over the gardens and parkland. Separate staff accommodation further enhances the practicality of this remarkable property.

Outside, the estate unfolds beneath the centuries-old olive trees, with flowering wisteria, shaded terraces and expansive lawns. A magnificent heated swimming pool and pool house, summer kitchen, tennis court and fitness room invite a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle throughout the seasons.

The estate also preserves its agricultural heritage, with its olive groves producing a highly regarded olive oil, continuing a tradition that dates back to the monks who once cultivated these lands.

Rich in history yet perfectly suited to contemporary living, Domaine de la Sylviane offers a rare combination of scale, privacy and authenticity, all within walking distance of Valbonne’s charming village square, boutiques and renowned restaurants.

A truly exceptional Provençal retreat, where heritage, nature and the art of living come together in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from time, yet remains ideally connected to the French Riviera.
