Introduction

Character house (built c. 1900) on 2 levels, with terraces, all exposures. In a very quiet residential area. In a dominant position and not overlooked. On this small hill, its 1722 m² plot (easy to maintain), offers very significant residual building potential and the possibility of installing a beautiful swimming pool. Excellent sunshine from morning to night. Superb panoramic views of the sea, Cap-Martin and the distant mountains. Bus stop in the immediate vicinity. Sea and beaches 600 m away on foot via a local path, or 1.2 km by road. Close to shops, schools, hospitals, train stations and the town centers of Menton and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
Menton has long been known for its micro-climate (mild winters, pleasant summers thanks to the sea breeze) and exceptional year-round sunshine, as well as for the charm of its colorful old town and its Basilica of Saint-Michel, its 2 harbors, its Lemon Festival, its splendid gardens and much more. A peaceful community on a human scale, it nevertheless benefits from the infrastructure of a large city. Monaco and Italy are 7 km away. Several medieval villages with their authentic charm are just a fifteen-minute drive away. Nice can be reached in 30 minutes, Cannes in 1 hour and the Valberg and Mercantour ski resorts in 2 hours. Golf, tennis, paragliding, cycling, hiking and horse-riding are all available, as well as seaside activities such as sailing, diving, paddling, kayaking and windsurfing.
