La Villa ChantForret is a rare Provençal villa offering an extraordinary sense of space, privacy, and natural beauty. Surrounded by majestic trees and landscaped gardens, this magnificent home enjoys a truly privileged setting where the gentle sound of fountains and birdsong create a serene and enchanting atmosphere.
Set on an acre of lush vegetation, unobstructed views stretch to the horizon in all directions, thanks to the protected forest adjoining the property and the Valbonne-Opio Golf Course at Château de la Begude.
Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property is nestled in a private, gated Domain, located only 5 minutes by car (or a 20-minute walk) from the charming medieval village of Valbonne. Renowned for its Ochre-stone facades with pastel shutters, the pedestrian-only, gently sloping streets lead you to the marvelous Renaissance arcaded square.
Valbonne perfectly captures the art of Provençal living with its lively cafes, porches drenched in magenta bougainvillea, graveled pétanque courts, art galleries, boutique shops and one of the best weekly farmer’s markets in the region. You’ll also find opportunities for walks through the two natural parks whose trails connect the villages of Valbonne and Biot , famous for its blown-glass artisans.
Chantforet villa combines the timeless elegance of traditional Provençal architecture with the comfort and sophistication of a luxury private home. Roche Bobois leather furniture, mixed with refined heirloom antiques, creates interiors that are both elegant and welcoming, designed for relaxed yet refined living.
The property offers 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, accommodating up to 8 guests in exceptional comfort.
The spacious living areas include elegant lounges, refined dining spaces, and a large, fully equipped kitchen with Miele appliances, Emile Henri cookware, Sevres crystal glassware, and Limoges porcelain dishes, designed to accommodate celebratory group meals effortlessly.
Natural light fills the interiors, while large openings connect the living spaces seamlessly with the surrounding terraces and gardens, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle typical of Provence.
Outdoors, the lawns, shaded terraces, and quiet corners invite guests to relax throughout the day. At the heart of the garden lies a heated swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and shaded relaxation areas. It also boasts a newly built pool house with its own Miele kitchen, a 5th bedroom, a bathroom, and both indoor and outdoor showers.
A custom-built, two-story wooden fort nestled among oak trees with a large play area on the back side of the property provides a safe space for kids to explore. Guests can enjoy friendly games of ping-pong, challenge each other at chess, or lounge around the pool where the cool water and peaceful setting offer a uniquely refreshing retreat during the warm Provençal summer days.
