In the hills of Tuscany, just outside a village less than half an hour from Florence, historical villa converted into a boutique hotel with swimming pool and wellness center. The building (2,230 m², renovated in 2015) now offers 22 guest bedrooms, a restaurant with outdoor space and beautifully decorated halls for events and ceremonies.

On the hills of Valdarno between Arezzo and Florence, in a very panoramic position between 750 and 1,000 m above sea level, agricultural estate of 101 ha with Agriturismo and natural springs for sale.

The beauty, panoramic view and healthiness of the places, combined with the abundant availability of water resource and the presence of buildings suitable for the purpose, make the property particularly suitable for an agricultural activity of cultivation and breeding connected to an agritourism hospitality business.

The estate would also be particularly suitable for horse breeding for tourism purposes due to its location in an area rich in natural trails all to be explored.

The agricultural and livestock activity, with annexed pork butchery, experienced its greatest expansion between the 1990s and 2000s, achieving excellent quality results and national recognition. It was later downsized to leave more room for agritourism activities with overnight stays and catering.

The agritourism activity is now fully operational with 20 authorized beds, and the necessary facilities are still in place to reactivate and implement meat processing, aimed at the production of traditional Tuscan excellence.

Situated in a hilly position between the Valdichiana and Valdambra, in a landscape of great value and with excellent exposure, estate of 15.5 ha with rustic farmhouse and Chianti DOCG vineyard. The property is currently in use as an Agriturismo (17 beds) for weekly stays of families or groups of friends who can count on a fenced park with a 12 × 6 m swimming pool.

The property represents an interesting opportunity for those who wish to combine a stay in a residence immersed in the heart of Tuscany with a passion for viticulture. For the buyer, it is possible to make use of wineries in the area for grape processing; however, the extent of the vineyard and the quality of the production also suggest the creation of an in-house wine cellar.

EXTERIOR

The crown jewel of the property is the scenic 12.1-hectare vineyard, which is in full production and at the beginning of the regime phase of the multi-year cycle.

Plantings were made between 2018 (6.00 ha) and 2022 (6.14 ha), according to the criteria of modern quality viticulture for obtaining fine wines.

The vineyard is located at an altitude of about 500 m above sea level. The soil has ideal texture for vines with abundant skeleton that ensures excellent drainage during rainy periods. The right amount of clay allows for capillary retention of water reserves, which the roots can draw on in dry periods. The excellent exposure, spring and summer breezes and low humidity, ultimately the optimal pedoclimatic characteristics, allow constant production of excellent quality.

The ampelographic base is broad and includes the varieties Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Franc and Rebo.

The planting layout is 0.80 × 2.50 m, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare to ensure a low production load per vine.

The entire vineyard area falls under the two appellations Chianti DOCG and Valdarno di Sopra DOC. The latter is a relatively recent appellation to which important wineries in the area have adhered, distinguishing themselves by choosing the organic method in the cultivation of vines.
