At the foot of Callian, a medieval hilltop village in the Var, Provence, a renovated 14th-century olive mill has come to market for €2,950,000 with Home Hunts.

The property sits in a part of southeastern France where inland Provence meets the Côte d’Azur. Callian is about 25 miles / 40 km from Cannes, placing the estate within reach of the Riviera while preserving the quieter rhythm of the Var countryside.

It is located within the Pays de Fayence, an inland pocket of the Var department in Provence defined by perched villages, medieval streets, Provençal markets, and open countryside between the Riviera and the hills. It is also within reach of Terre Blanche, the five-star hotel, spa, and golf resort in nearby Tourrettes, whose two 18-hole courses have helped establish the area as one of the Var’s more discreet lifestyle addresses.

Originally built as an olive oil mill, the property has been restored over several years with an emphasis on preserving its historic character. Vaulted stone cellars, generous interior volumes, and original architectural features point to the building’s medieval origins, while the renovation has adapted the estate for modern family living and entertaining.

A swimming pool is set among sunny and shaded terraces, while a natural pond fed by a spring adds to the sense of seclusion and connection to the surrounding landscape.

The distinction is not simply that the property is old, but that it began as a working olive mill. That history gives the estate a more specific architectural identity than a conventional Provençal villa, bastide, or mas. Its vaulted stone cellars and generous volumes preserve the memory of a building designed for production, now adapted for private living.

With 7 en-suite bedrooms in the main house and two independent stone houses, the estate is suited to a style of ownership centred on hosting, extended family stays, or independent guest accommodation.

In addition to the main residence, the estate includes a caretaker’s cottage and a separate guest house. These provide additional accommodation for staff, family, or visitors, while maintaining privacy between the different parts of the property.

The grounds extend to 4 hectares / 9.9 acres, with a mix of lawned and wooded areas. A swimming pool is set among sunny and shaded terraces, while a natural pond fed by a spring adds to the sense of seclusion and connection to the surrounding landscape.

The setting is central to the appeal. The estate has the scale and privacy of a countryside property, but it is set at the foot of the village rather than deep in the hills. Callian’s historic centre is within walking distance, giving the property a level of village access that adds to its practicality as a South of France base.

For buyers looking beyond the coastal villa market, the estate offers a quieter version of the region, with historic character, guest capacity, and access to both the Pays de Fayence and the wider Riviera.

Altogether, the property offers an unusual combination in the Var: a restored medieval mill with estate-scale grounds, independent guest accommodation, and a walkable village setting within the inland reach of the Côte d’Azur.
