Foiano della Chiana

Nestled on the top of a scenic Valdichiana hillock, not far from Foiano and Lucignano, estate with villa and roccolo for sale. The property consists of several buildings with a total of 5 bedrooms and is surrounded by a forest that ensures privacy and confidentiality. The quiet nature of the area is very suitable if one wanted to include the property in the tourist-receptive circuit.

THE PARK AND THE ROCCOLO

The property is set in about 9.1 hectares (22.5 acres) of land that provide absolute privacy and tranquility. The grounds include a historic garden, forest, arable land and a small olive grove.

The park surrounding the villa preserves a structure of considerable historical and naturalistic interest: the roccolo (24 m² – 258 ft²). A classic example of a hunting installation, the structure was once used for the capture of migratory birds using nets and live calls. The roccolo consisted of a “round” and a “colonnade”, with trees pruned and arranged to guide the birds into the nets. Hidden in the vegetation was the tollhouse, from which the “roccolatore” activated the nets and operated the decoys.

Today this type of hunting is banned, but the roccolo remains as valuable evidence of a tradition that has now disappeared, as well as elements of great historical and environmental value.

In a quiet and panoramic position on the Valdichiana hills, between Lucignano and Foiano della Chiana, farmhouse with garden for sale. The property (almost 300 m²) was recently built respecting the rustic style of the area and currently offers 3 rooms, with the possibility of converting the outbuilding into a charming guesthouse. About 4.4 ha of land surround the house, with garden and possibility to build a swimming pool.
