"The original part of this fortified home on the French Riviera was built around 1872. ""A plaque in the garden nestled amongst the cobbles indicates this date,"" says Alex Balkin of selling agent Savills. In his view, the land around the property is a huge attraction. ""The main attraction of the gardens is the tranquility,"" Mr. Balkin says. ""The abundance of olive trees, which when the time is right provide beautiful yellow flowers indicating that the initial fruit is developing."" The olive trees recently produced about 170 liters of high-quality bio-olive oil."
