Description
Located near the Barsamian school in the La Madeleine district, this exceptional home stands on the site of the historic "Carnation Hill."
Long before becoming a private estate, this land was a place where life flourished. It was a hillside in bloom—once carpeted with thousands of carnations, pompon chrysanthemums, and other flowers—cultivated with passion by a family that had arrived from Piedmont and built their lives here.
During the era when Nice was renowned for its thriving horticultural industry, the flowers grown here made their way to the Cours Saleya market and the Nice wholesale flower market (MIN), before being shipped to major French cities and beyond. These carnations contributed to the renown of an elegant, colorful, and flower-filled Nice, playing a key role in events such as the famous Battles of Flowers.
While the flowers themselves are gone, the soul of the land remains. Situated in the heart of Boulevard de la Madeleine, this property offers a rare, intimate, and remarkably preserved setting, featuring full, exclusive use of approximately 11,000 m² of grounds.
The main house offers approximately 159.40 m² of living space, complemented by a 33.40 m² garage and a fully fitted outbuilding of around 40 m² spread across two levels.
This outbuilding serves as a truly independent living space, featuring a living room/kitchen and pantry on the ground floor, with a bedroom and a bathroom (including a W.C) upstairs.
The property's layout allows for the creation of up to three distinct living areas: the 40 m² outbuilding, an apartment on the ground floor of the main house, and a second flat upstairs, accessible via an independent outdoor staircase.
The main house features four bedrooms, several reception areas, and two levels offering numerous layout possibilities. Installing a kitchen in the 20.55 m² ground-floor living room, for instance, would make this level completely self-contained. Another notable feature: although the land belongs to the large "Les Terrasses de la Costière" co-ownership complex, the house constitutes a distinct lot that operates independently, with no co-ownership fees levied against the property.
A rare property steeped in history, comprising an exceptional ensemble: nearly 159 m² of living space, an independent annex, a garage, parking for several vehicles, and the use of nearly 1.1 hectares of grounds. Once a site for growing carnations, it has become a haven of nature and tranquility in the very heart of Nice.
