Old olive mill for restoration - French Property Images from Coast and Country France

Property Description

A very rare opportunity to purchase an old water-driven Provençal olive mill which with relatively little major work will become a stunning and impressive property. Internally, much of the clearance work has already been done and it requires very little imagination to see the potential. Plans exist for conversion of the vaulted store-room into a magnificent kitchen opening onto the main sun terrace. The main living room with open fireplace will be a spacious 57m² (613ft²) and on the upper floors there is plenty of space to create three large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, retaining the separate two-bedroom apartment with one bathroom for guests or family. On the top floor of the tower the proposal is to leave the traditional beamed and terracotta tile ceiling in place to create a large 32m² (345ft²) study with a magnificent view across the valley.
Outside there is a small caretaker's house (50m²) which would probably be converted back to a garage/workshop.
The crowning glory of the property will be the sun terrace and 19m x 6m pool to the side. Fed by a pump from the borehole, this could feature fountains feeding the pool which in turn would feed another waterfall into the old washpool which is flanked by towers with rare glazed roof tiles. A simple parterre or gravel terrace with rose or lavender beds will create a private sun garden worthy of a small chateau.
The price does not include the necessary renovation work but a local English architect who knows the project intimately is available to oversee the works and can be introduced to the buyer.
The property runs to almost 9 acres in total consisting of about 100 olive trees in good productive condition; just under 4 acres are planted with productive vines (60% AOC wine). Both the olive groves and the vines are subcontracted to local farmers who share the proceeds with the owners.
A most unusual property with enormous potential. Strongly recommended.
