This week we visit Magagnosc and Plascassier, two charming villages located just minutes from the perfume capital of Grasse, offering an appealing blend of Provençal authenticity and Riviera proximity.
Both areas are surrounded by olive groves, rolling hills, and sweeping views toward the Mediterranean, providing an idyllic setting that’s both peaceful and well-connected. Their traditional stone houses, spacious villas, and private estates attract buyers looking for tranquility without sacrificing convenience — with Cannes, Antibes, and Nice Airport all within a short drive. The villages retain their small-community charm, with local markets, cafés, and excellent schools contributing to a high quality of life that appeals to families, retirees, and professionals alike.
From an investment perspective, Magagnosc and Plascassier represent strong long-term value in the Côte d’Azur real estate market. Demand for character homes and properties with land continues to rise as international buyers seek quieter alternatives to the coast, especially in areas with easy access to technology hubs like Sophia Antipolis. Renovated homes with views or large plots can command excellent returns, while renovation opportunities still exist for investors looking to add value. With limited building space and a growing interest in lifestyle-driven living, these villages offer not just Provençal beauty, but also solid and sustainable property investment potential.
This week we present for you two beautiful properties in the area:
