This property built in the 19th century, originally agricultural, has become a place of residence. Its location is exceptional, it is situated in the current heart of Mouans-Sartoux, near the castle, the church, the Museum of Concrete Art and the alleys of the old village.
If we make a brief historical reminder, we note that Mouans and Sartoux were two separate villages, Mouans in the plain, Sartoux on the hill of Castellaras. Around 1350 Mouans and Sartoux were abandoned for reasons of insecurity and pandemic (the plague decimated a large part of the population). In 1496 Pierre de Grasse, lord of Mouans, brought sixty families from the region of Genoa, Figons, to repopulate the territory. In the spring of 1858 Napoleon III united the two communities, Mouans-Sartoux became the village entity that we know today.
The property, enclosed by ancestral stone walls, is home to classified century-old trees and a varied ecosystem (birds, insects, butterflies, cicadas); it thus protects an ecological balance which makes this place a haven of peace. Within the garden, several spaces can be distinguished: the stone pines which overlook the swimming pool, the mulberry trees which recall the breeding of silkworms, finally, the meadow below the swimming pool.
The Bastide de la Grand Pièce is a unique place, a veritable green setting in this beautiful village of Mouans-Sartoux.
