On the first hills of Casentino, not far from Bibbiena, renovated rusticfarmhouse with natural spring and access to a stream for sale. This farmhouse enjoys a secluded position near a small village immersed in a landscape of forests, fields, and watercourses. The close proximity to the stream gives the property an atmosphere of rare tranquility, punctuated by the sound of water and the scents of riparian vegetation. The surrounding territory offers a perfect balance between nature, history, and spirituality: the Casentinesi Forests National Park, the Sanctuary of La Verna, the Hermitage of Camaldoli, and the suggestive medieval villages of Casentino make this area one of the most authentic and fascinating in Tuscany.

The property is bordered by a stream with clear waters, a natural element that provides freshness during the summer season and creates a pleasant background sound, helping to make the environment particularly relaxing and evocative.

At the gates of Casentino, between Subbiano and Bibbiena in a very quiet position, organic estate with a farmhouse to be renovated for sale. The property covers about 14.4 hectares on a hilly position with excellent south exposure that ensures perfect land for various crops. 

The farm operates with certified organic methods and is dedicated to cultivating various products. First, we find a vineyard (1.7 ha) of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grechetto, Sangiovese, and Malvasia varieties: the grapes produced are then sold to local producers for winemaking. Next are an olive grove (about 1.0 ha in total distributed in various points of the company), a hazelnut grove (2,800 m²), and a bamboo grove (4,900 m²) used for the production of solid combustible. The arable land (about 3.4 ha) is cultivated with saffron, iris, and forage for animals. The property’s borders are marked by a strip of mixed woodland (about 6.9 ha).

A stream flows through the property, not far from the house, and is freely and easily accessible.

The company is currently operational in terms of agricultural production but is not employed in a hospitality function: the renovation of the farmhouse would offer several rooms (all of generous size and potentially with private bathroom), making the property very suitable for tourist-hospitality development, not to mention the variety of crops carried out in the company that would offer a wide selection of dishes using organic products truly zero kilometers.

On the foothills of Casentino, not far from Arezzo and Subbiano, a 17th-century farmhouse with guesthouse and outbuildings for sale.

The property, as a whole, lends itself very well to multiple uses.

A large family that was looking for a home in which to live in full contact with nature but at the same time not far from services would find the ideal place here. Alternatively, the country house could be converted into a B&B and/or vacation home with potential conversion of the old stables into a small wellness center for the guests. Finally, the estate could be managed in the form of an Agriturismo if the new owners wanted to try their hand at agricultural activities, which could include olive production alone, new organic crops and even animal breeding.

Stone house with garden for sale in the heart of the ancient village of Chiusi della Verna, renowned for the famous Sanctuary of La Verna, founded by St. Francis in 1213, when he was gifted the site by Count Orlando Cattani.

Even today, the ruins of the castle belonging to the noble feudal lord are visible and easily accessible on foot from the house. The Sanctuary can also be reached via a suggestive path immersed in the woods, known as the “Fairies’ Path,” which leads through scenic natural views of great charm.

The entrance of the house (241 m² – 2,593 ft²) opens into a hallway that leads to the large lounge with fireplace and the living room. The ground floor also houses the kitchen, dining room, and a bathroom.

A beautiful internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where the sleeping area consists of four bedrooms and a bathroom.

The property appears elegant in its simplicity and preserves the authentic character of its construction era. A large exclusive garden/apron of about 440 m² surrounds the house, offering pleasant outdoor spaces to enjoy.

In the piazza, there is also a practical storage room (28 m² – 301 ft²) and a laundry (4 m² – 43 ft²).

In a very panoramic and quiet location in the Casentino mountains, not far from Talla, rural hamlet to be restored with 112.2 hectares of land for sale. The buildings are located on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of two streams, and the original nucleus of the settlement most likely dates back to the 7th century, when the small church was built: the area was part of the Byzantine possessions, a last offshoot of the so-called “Byzantine corridor” that connected Ravenna to Rome, and the Greek influence on the church is evident. The road leading up to the property is part of that connecting artery that once united the Cassia Vetus (nowadays the Setteponti Road) and the Flaminia Minor (then called Via Romea once it enters Emilia-Romagna). From the property, Mount Penna, on which stands the Franciscan hermitage of La Verna, can be seen in the distance.

The buildings (more than 2,200 m² in total) were later added over the centuries and eventually encompassed what was most likely a small castle placed to defend the road between Casentino and Valdarno. The structure of the hamlet is oriented east-to-west so as to shelter the buildings from the cold winds from the north and denotes great attention to detail.

Importantly, the hamlet was inhabited until relatively recently: sixty people still lived there in the 1970s. One of the features that make the property very interesting is the presence of a virtually endless supply of water thanks to a very rich natural spring that has always bubbled up in the upper part of the estate.

The estate stretches for a total of 112.2 hectares (277.2 acres): of these, most are covered by the typical Casentino woods (80.0 ha that also include a chestnut grove) while the remaining area is devoted to arable land (19.8 ha) and pastures (11.7 ha). The presence of a large amount of water, both from the spring and from the two streams, opens the way for multiple possibilities of use of the farm.

In the Casentino valley, not far from Arezzo and Bibbiena, countryside estateof 6.4 ha with farmhouse, horse stables and olive grove for sale.
