Eight-bedroom 18th-century oil mill with tennis court, spa and chapel in Maussane-les-Alpilles · ref. MA1

A former 18th-century oil mill set in three and a half hectares of French gardens in Maussane-les-Alpilles, within the Alpilles Regional Natural Park, with views of the Château des Baux. The estate sleeps 16 guests in eight en-suite bedrooms, with ten bathrooms in total.

The mill dates from 1738, and one of its original oil presses still stands under the vaults of the living room. A small 18th-century chapel, still consecrated, sits at the end of the garden, with a meadow beyond where horses graze.

Under the original vaults, two interconnecting living rooms total 170 m², with a large stone fireplace and arched doors opening onto the gardens. The house also has a dining room for sixteen, a bar-library with a fireplace, a kitchen-living room with a marble island and range cooker, a second service kitchen, and an upstairs cinema and games lounge. There is a lift, air conditioning, fibre internet throughout and a Sonos sound system.

All bedrooms have air conditioning, a smart TV and a Nespresso machine.
