Make your dreams a reality with this exceptional house near Cannes on the C?te d’Azur. Take a stroll down the Boulevard de la Croisette, star-spotting at the film festival, then retire to your fabulous villa for a swim and an evening admiring your view of the Med. Sea views, loads of space, a beautiful area, warmth and sunshine – what more could you possibly want?

This is a very large, attractive Proven?al villa of about 430 m?, built in 2006 and simply but immaculately decorated ? no work needs to be done. The entrance hall leads to an open plan kitchen with a well defined dining area and even a bar. The large and airy living room, opening directly on to the verandah, has masses of space for sitting and relaxing and a corner ideal for a pool table. Perhaps you’re a wine buff? The house has a large temperature-controlled wine cellar just right for the ‘96 Bordeaux or the cases of champagne. Upstairs five bedrooms and five bathrooms give plenty of space and privacy for family and guests and each bedroom opens on to a large terrace overlooking the pool. You can express your inner James Bond in the enormous garage with space for several cars, motorbikes or whatever gets you going. There is of course full central heating and air conditioning and a discreet interior lift.

Immediately outside the house is the extensive terrace and swimming pool. The garden has been landscaped and is well maintained, and there is a staff cottage (living-room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom). The total area of the property adds up to about 2500 m? (over half an acre) and it is set within a smart, quiet residential area interspersed with the shady pines that give the town its name.

Apart from the urban charms of Cannes, the rest of the French Riviera is on your doorstep, made famous by Scott Fitzgerald in Tender is the Night and a playground for the rich and beautiful ever since. Juan-Les-Pins has a long sandy beach if you’d like a dip in the sea to make a change from lazing by the pool, and the town hosts a jazz festival in July. Going a few kilometres eastwards you come to Antibes, a big yachting centre and a charming town of cobbles and flower-decked houses, where Picasso spent a summer in 1946 in the Ch?teau Grimaldi, now the Mus?e Picasso.

Local shops are within a kilometre and Cannes itself is only 6km distant. As you would expect for almost anywhere on the French Riviera, the house is very well served for transport. The A8 autoroute is 7 km away, the local airport at Cannes 14 km and Nice C?te d’Azur International is at 18 km. Greener guests can arrive at Cannes by rail.

Each share will entitle the owner to stay 1 month at the property and is priced at ?583,000.
