6 -room villa in the hills of Fabron, in Nice, ave

EXCLUSIVE – Mission Riviera Prestige Real Estate

An exceptional 6-bedroom residence (245 sq m of living space) with a large garden, swimming pool, and guest annex, located on the outskirts of Nice (Fabron Supérieur – St Antoine) in a quiet residential area with views of the Prealps. Tastefully renovated and steeped in history, this former convent offers an exceptional living environment and is ready for immediate occupancy.

The Fabron Supérieur district in Nice is a highly sought-after residential area on the northern edge of the city, offering stunning views of the verdant hills that stretch beyond the city limits. Access to Nice's beaches and city center is easy; a straight road down the hill leads to the famous Promenade des Anglais in about 10 minutes by car. Fabron, particularly this part, is a quiet and well-maintained neighborhood, popular with professionals, families, and businesspeople based in Nice who are looking for a peaceful setting. Close to the renowned L'Archet medical center, with a primary school within walking distance (and a wide selection of schools of all levels in the area), just 15 minutes from Nice Airport, and with easy access to the A8 motorway, Villa La Halte de la Reine is perfectly situated and ideal for a large family, those seeking space to host guests, or even to establish a bed and breakfast.

The Queen's Halt is a beautiful, sizable property offering highly flexible development possibilities. Over the centuries, the property has witnessed many changes both in the world around it and within its walls. Once a convent, it also served as an inn, hence its legendary name. It is said that Queen Victoria and her entourage would stop at the inn during one of her regular journeys between her properties on the Isle of Wight or London and her favorite city, Nice. Indeed, the famous Promenade des Anglais in Nice was named after Victoria's habit of strolling leisurely along the azure waterfront during her winter stays. Built on a spacious plot, the property includes six large bedrooms, four bathrooms, a vast living/dining room, a study, separate staff quarters, a garage, and a magnificent swimming pool, as well as numerous terraces and landscaped gardens and lawns.

From the road, La Halte de la Reine presents a deceptively modest facade, with only a few subtle hints of the jewel hidden within: an ornate sundial, charming ironwork, and grand entrance gates. Spread over three levels, this imposing building exudes solidity, and it doesn't take much imagination to conjure up its past lives.

Once inside, the property is private and secure, with a main entrance door featuring bespoke ironwork leading to the spacious hall. From the hall, turning left, you enter a very large, welcoming, two-level living area with triple exposure and an impressive stone fireplace. From the dining room, a fabulous bay window offers a splendid view of the hills behind Nice, with magnificent sunsets visible year-round.

This beautifully arranged main room blends seamlessly with the rest of the house. It is spacious enough to accommodate a large family or entertain guests in style.

Turning right from the entrance hall, you'll find two rooms: the first is a small office/living room with French doors opening onto the terrace, and the second is the...
