A Maison & Vous favourite — private preview
An Exceptional Charm Estate in Six-Fours
A haven of peace at the heart of the 17th century — former olive mill dated 1644
Welcome to Six-Fours-les-Plages, a Mediterranean gem where the art of living is more than a figure of speech. Just minutes from the fishing village of Le Brusc and the emblematic Île des Embiez — home to Paul Ricard, founder of the famous Marseille pastis — this 17th-century residence offers a true rarity: the privilege of living outside of time, without ever being isolated.
More than a house, it is a fragment of history that Maison & Vous is delighted to present in private preview. Three flexible living spaces are arranged around a biodiversity-certified sanctuary garden: the main house and its reception room where the timber of the old olive press still stands, an independent gîte, a guest room with its own vaulted cellar, a saltwater pool… Enough to imagine a guest-house project, a multi-generational family home, or simply a quiet retreat.
Asking price: €969,000 — 4% agency fees payable by the seller
You arrive through a wrought-iron gate, almost shy behind the foliage. Gravel crunches underfoot, the light shifts beneath the first stone arches, and already, something slows down. The Vieux Moulin doesn't reveal itself all at once: it is discovered room by room, garden by garden.
01 — The Main House
The Reception Room: The Soul of the Olive Press
Across two levels, the main house opens onto a living space of around 80 sqm where the memory of the old olive press still lingers on the walls, beneath a period fireplace and the original Provençal terracotta floor tiles. Upstairs, a preserved "plafond à la française" ceiling and original stained-glass windows lead to three bedrooms facing the garden and an office facing the hamlet, a private and intimate terrace, and a discreet independent entrance.

An Independent Cocoon, Beneath the Glass Roof
A sun-filled patio, beneath a glass roof where vines climb freely, leads to this cocoon that has stayed true to its 1990s Provençal spirit: an open-plan kitchen onto a warm living room, and a garden terrace all of its own. Upstairs, a bathroom and a dressing room that converts into a bedroom. South-facing, this self-contained space lends itself equally well to a rental-income project or to hosting family.

Independence and Privacy
A fully independent bedroom, extended by a small office nook and a private shower room that opens directly onto the main terrace. Its self-contained layout suits guest accommodation just as well as an artist's studio, for anyone seeking a creative space set apart from the rest of the house.

The Basement's Extra Soul
Below ground, a rare and charming space evokes a small former chapel: its stone niches, ideal for displaying artwork, and its natural coolness make it a perfect wine cellar for tasting fine vintages. A light well from the garden above completes this secret place with a lived-in, almost meditative atmosphere.

A Biodiversity-Certified Sanctuary
The enclosed, landscaped garden of around 1,000 sqm forms a true haven of greenery, carefully planted, biodiversity-certified, and shielded from view. Vestiges of the old mill have become living décor here — stone millstones, former oil vats, period jars — and a stone staircase leads down to the well that opens onto the vaulted cellar. The pool, of a sober, minimalist luxury, guarantees total tranquillity. Independent parking of 230 sqm in the hamlet, plus two further spaces at the wrought-iron gate.

The Soul of the Place
Where Time Takes Root
Built in 1644, the Vieux Moulin has crossed the centuries without ever losing its soul. A former Provençal olive mill, it holds within its walls the memory of a vanished craft — and it is precisely this living memory that gives the house its character today.
The Soul of the Land, Revealed
The kitchen occupies the exact spot where, once, the village donkeys used to drink. The old hay-loading windows, which allowed fodder to be brought in from outside, have been preserved, as has the olive-passage opening still visible above the worktop — a discreet nod to the building's original purpose.
The Murmur of Centuries
The olive press still dominates an entire wall of the reception room. The wooden screws that once drove the press are gone, but the monumental beams remain — engraved with the date of their making. Underfoot, the old terracotta floor tiles carry the patina of four centuries of footsteps; a resin treatment is now recommended to preserve their shine.
A Living Poetry
In the garden, the old millstones have become sculptural pieces, woven into the Mediterranean planting. Beneath the patio's glass roof, the light plays across the ancient stone — a daily reminder that modern comfort (every window and door has been custom-fitted with aluminium double glazing) now lives comfortably within a historic monument.
The privilege of living within history is within reach.

Élodie's Insight, From the Field
"I've viewed many beautiful homes along this coast. This one, I don't forget. You push open a discreet gate and time stops: the stone walls, over 60 cm thick, these beams still bearing the date carved at their birth, and that well in the garden that descends towards the vaulted cellar… This isn't a house you buy, it's a story you take up. If this house speaks to you, don't think it over for three weeks — come and feel it. In real estate, regret always costs more than the viewing."
