Valdarno

Located on a hilltop, just 10 km from Arezzo, this charming semidetached farmhouse combines the charm of tradition with the comfort of a recent renovation. The property is easily accessible and well connected to main services, while maintaining a private and green setting.

The property is built from the renovation of an ancient oil mill (251 m² – 2,701 ft²) used for olive pressing, originally an accessory building of the adjacent historic villa. Evidence of its old purpose is still preserved in the original stone millstone, a precious historic element that recalls the building's original use for producing valuable extra virgin olive oil.

After being completely renovated in 2011, the house has an independent entrance, is surrounded by a well-kept private garden of about 600 m² on two sides, and is finished with an olive grove of 7,200 m² on the slope below the house. These outdoor areas provide the perfect space for outdoor living, pursuing personal interests, and producing oil for family needs.

On the ground floor, the living area consists of welcoming rooms well connected to each other, with the added value of direct access to the garden from both sides of the house, a feature that guarantees continuity between indoors and outdoors and allows outdoor living at any time of the day. At the end of the floor are a laundry, a bathroom and an office space (usable as bedroom).

The sleeping area, located upstairs and accessible via an elegant staircase, is also bright and well organized. A convenient corridor leads to three bedrooms, all generously sized and each with its own private bathroom, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for guests and family members.

In the Valdarno hills, not far from Pergine and Bucine, rustic country house with garden and olive grove is for sale. The building (405 m²) is currently divided into two sections, one of which has already been renovated, while the other is to be completed according to a pre-approved plan. The two wings are connected but could be made completely independent to create two separate residential units.

The renovated section occupies the western part of the farmhouse and is laid out over two levels. The ground floor houses the living area, consisting of an entryway, living room, large eat-in kitchen, bathroom, and a spacious utility area with a small cellar and laundry room. The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms.

The eastern wing, which has yet to be renovated, is also spread over two levels and follows the same layout: the ground floor would house the living area, consisting of a large living/dining room, a hallway, a kitchen, and a guest bathroom. The first floor would house the sleeping area with two bedrooms, both with private bathrooms.

The renovation brought the building up to energy class A2, significantly increasing the efficiency of the systems and substantially reducing heating and electricity consumption. Contributing to this are the 4.1-kW photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the house and two accumulation batteries (total capacity 10 kW), which cover a large portion of the house’s energy needs.

The house is surrounded by a 2,700-m² garden, which is fenced off at its highest point. A gentle slope leads down from the house to a 10.5 × 4.5 m swimming pool (salt depuration) in a scenic location.

The rest of the property, approximately 9,500 m², is dotted with about 170 olive trees that produce excellent Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.

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. The 3.8 hectares of land include an elegant Italian garden, swimming pool area with solarium and a large olive grove.

All services are available in the nearby village (1 km; 2') and the historical center of Florence is about 25' drive away.

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.

On the Valdarno hills between Arezzo and Florence, not far from the medieval town of Ambra, rustic farmhouse to be restored for sale.
