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.
