Historic Château with Olive Oil Estate and Modern Mill

About the Property

Perched on the heights above Aups, Château de Taurenne is a medieval fortress built in 1283, listed as a « Monument Historique ». Distinguished by its five round towers and commanding position, the château is set within a private estate spanning over 250 hectares in France. Historically associated with the powerful Blacas family, it maintains documented links to the Order of the Knights Templar during the 13th century. Since its acquisition in 1999, the property has undergone exemplary restoration, transforming it into a unique estate that respects the original architecture and integrates harmoniously with its natural environment. The estate has been reimagined as an exceptional olive oil property, featuring a modern on-site mill and more than 11,000 olive trees planted with traditional Provençal varieties. The olive oil produced here is widely regarded as among the finest in the region, regularly selected by leading gastronomic establishments for its quality and expression of terroir. This production is supported by a rare model of complete ecological and energy self-sufficiency, making Château de Taurenne an outstanding patrimonial asset that combines historical prestige with high-level agricultural operations and a forward-looking sustainable vision.
