Description
Charming stone farmhouse of 140 m² fully renovated on its 5,275 m² land – City center within less than 10 minutes on foot
This property, blending history and nature in the heart of Vence surrounded by greenery, is perfect for cozy living, a shared home, or a guesthouse/B&B project with its 5/6 tourist accommodations totaling approximately 80/100 m² – a visit is a must if you’re looking for a lush environment like no other or if you’re drawn to a change of lifestyle
Le Domaine des Petites Sœurs is just 800 m from Vence’s historic center
Located in a protected heritage site notable for its religious building (subtle facade decoration) and its garden filled with diverse plant species and beautiful dry stone terraces, this 1804 stone farmhouse, formerly a religious retreat (only a few minutes’ walk from the heart of Vence), has been tastefully and completely restored. It offers a peaceful, authentic, and green living environment, with strong potential for rental and tourism development or family reunification.
The estate lies in a sought-after residential neighborhood and boasts a unique charm, ideal for a personal or professional project focused on tourist rentals.
The main house of 140 m² includes
– 4 bedrooms, including one in an independent 22 m² studio (external entrance + internal access – currently set up for year-round tourist rentals)
– 3 bathrooms with toilets (2 in the main house + 1 in the studio)
– 2 fully equipped kitchens (1 in the main house + 1 in the studio)
– Large living room with a high ceiling of 6.5 m

The land allows for an additional 570 m² of construction
Existing rental activity – Studio within the house

Net annual revenue (after platform fees) for the studio: €21,500 projected in 2025, nearly €1,800 per month
Very good profitability with excellent traveler reviews
Existing activity that can be easily expanded to the other small houses scattered across the property
Strong potential for development:
5 additional small houses to renovate spread across the land (3 buildings of 16 m² each, convertible into studios + 1 stone cottage of 20 m² with a mezzanine that can accommodate 4 people + 1 11 m² building that could serve as a master bedroom as it already includes a shower room) – Roof and structure are sound – (ideal for holiday homes or guest rooms)
Land still available for construction (rare in this area)
Estate perfectly suited for tourism, events, wellness projects, or family reunions
With 6 renovated tourist accommodations, the estate can generate an estimated annual rental income of over €110,000, or roughly €9,200 per month (about €1,550 per month per tourist rental unit)
By developing only the rental activity on the existing studios, you generate a gross return of 8% based on an asking price of €1,350,000.
If you choose to rent the house on a long-term basis at €2,200/month, the gross return rises to 10% based on the same price.
If you rent the house as a seasonal rental for only 16 weeks a year at €450 per night, the return increases further to almost 12%.
All buildings, including the main house, are connected to the public sewage system
