An Authentic Provençal Masterpiece: A Historic Olive Mill Reimagined for Modern Elegance
Nestled in the heart of a picturesque village in the Arrière-Pays Varois, this extraordinary estate invites you to experience the soul of Provence, where centuries of heritage meet contemporary refinement.
A majestic cypress-lined avenue leads to the property’s centerpiece: an 18th-century olive oil mill, exquisitely restored and transformed into a timeless Maison de Maître of approximately 360 m².
The Art of Provençal Living: Where Authenticity Meets Grace
Upon entering, every detail evokes understated luxury. The gourmet kitchen, framed by stone walls and exposed beams, opens seamlessly into a sunlit dining room, creating a perfect setting for intimate meals or lively gatherings.
The main salon impresses with its cathedral ceilings, Burgundy stone floors, and historic features, from the original oil press to the hand-hewn beams that tell of the estate’s storied past. A grand stone fireplace and bespoke library anchor the space in warmth and refinement.
An Owner’s Private Haven: Luxury, Serenity, and Wellbeing
The upper level is a sanctuary reserved for the owners, a place of quiet indulgence and complete privacy. A welcoming TV lounge opens onto a spacious master suite featuring a large en-suite bath, dressing room, and an intimate wellness area complete with sauna, shower, and solarium. Here, mornings begin with sunlight filtering through the shutters and end with views of cypress and sky. A private retreat designed for restoration of both body and soul.
Modern Comfort, Historic Charm: Where Nature Frames Every Moment
Beyond its walls, the estate unfolds into an enchanted landscape of mature olive groves and woodland. Multiple terraces invite tranquil breakfasts, long summer lunches, or evenings under the stars.
The swimming pool, with its electric cover, offers refreshing seclusion amid nature’s calm. A convertible workshop (ideal for a guesthouse or artist’s studio), a two-car garage with direct access, and ample outdoor parking complete this Provençal haven.
While faithful to its heritage, this estate integrates every modern amenity for effortless living: Air conditioning, double glazing, automatic watering, and a water softener ensure contemporary comfort without compromising authenticity.
Where Elegance Meets Serenity: An Invitation to Live the Provençal Dream
This residence is more than a home it’s a celebration of Provence’s enduring art de vivre.
A place where light, landscape, and legacy come together to create an extraordinary expression of beauty, authenticity, and tranquility.
An address that captures the heart and defines the essence of luxury living in Provence.

Moissac-Bellevue is a small hilltop village in the Haut-Var, sitting within the Verdon Regional Natural Park at roughly 600 metres elevation. The village belongs to the Arrière-Pays Varois, a part of inland Provence that has remained largely untouched by coastal development. The surrounding landscape is defined by oak woodland, lavender fields, and ancient olive groves. The scale is intimate, the architecture is stone, and the pace of life reflects a Provence that predates the tourist economy of the coast.
The village centre, 600 metres from the property, has a boulangerie and basic provisions. Aups, 15 minutes by car, offers a weekly market, restaurants, and a notable truffle market in winter. Cotignac and Salernes, both within 20 minutes, provide a wider range of dining, artisan shops, and services. The Gorges du Verdon are approximately 30 minutes away.
The nearest TGV station is at Les Arcs-Draguignan, approximately 40 kilometres south, with direct high-speed services to Paris in around three hours and connections to Marseille in under an hour. Toulon-Hyères Airport is roughly 80 kilometres away, and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, the main international hub for the region, is approximately 100 kilometres to the east, reachable in around 90 minutes by car.
