Forbes Magazine have published a great article this week about this stunning property for sale in Grasse with Home Hunts
Once home to a local perfumer, the 2.5-acre estate includes a 4,000-square-foot house, climate-controlled wine cellar/tasting room, two-bedroom guest house, pool house and large covered car port.
The property, which dates back to 1935, includes an olive grove, orangery, boules court and several covered terraces.
The estate is 10 minutes from the center of historic Grasse, France, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a global perfume-making hub since the 1700s.
Sixty different perfumers source their essential oils, concretes, absolutes and other raw materials from Grasse—representing about half of the production of all French perfumes—and brands like Dior and Chanel (Chanel No. 5 has been made from Grasse jasmine since 1921) maintain plantations near town.
LVMH opened a fragrance creation center shared between fashion houses Louis Vuitton and Dior inside an abandoned perfumery in Grasse in 2016, Lancôme purchased the Domaine de la Rose botanical garden in 2023 and Hermès maintains its own flower fields in the region.
