Farmhouse in Tuscany

On the hills of Tuscany, in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino production area, small winery for sale. The property consists of two estates that include buildings (farmhouse and cellars) and vineyards (about 3.5 ha), respectively. The location of the property is very convenient, close to Montalcino and the best-known centers of the Val d’Orcia, and has no other houses nearby, which ensures privacy and confidentiality even in case you want to start a receptive activity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (686 m² – 7,381 ft², 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is a rustic building in typical Tuscan style with well-preserved original finishes. In one corner of the ground floor are the old rustic cellars, easily usable for production in conjunction with the newer cellar, while the rest of the building houses two apartments:

• Apt. A (384 m²): entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, six bedrooms and six bathrooms;
• Apt. B (82 m²): living room with kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.

The building is in excellent structural condition and needs only some interior modernization and finishing work.

Adjacent to the farmhouse, built partially underground and thus naturally climate-controlled, is the aging cellar (320 m² – 3,443 ft²) consisting of two separate rooms and a convenient shed for sheltering equipment.

The winemaking cellar (311 m² – 3,346 ft², 1 bathroom) is a large L-shaped building, very suitable for processing grapes due to spacious rooms with no structural elements in between. The building needs modernization and renovation but is in excellent structural condition.

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 hills of Pontassieve, less than an hour from Florence and in a panoramic position, agriculturalestate with three farm complexes for sale. The property is in need of major renovation and enhancement works but offers great development possibilities, especially from a tourist-receptive point of view thanks to the presence of several buildings with various independent housing units.

• Apt. A: large living room with kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom;

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The country house (253 m² – 2,722 ft², 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is the result of years of expansion of an old farmer’s house: in fact, the building is composed of four easily identifiable “sections”, dating in the oldest part to the 18th century (north) and in the most recent to the early 20th century (south). The structure has been renovated with the addition of modern solutions that ensure good thermal and acoustic insulation (Vasistas fixtures with Schuko windows installed in 2022) and high energy efficiency (condensing boiler, external heat pump, solar thermal panel with 150-liter storage). The systems are remotely controllable. The roof was also entirely disassembled and reassembled in 2022 so that a layer of insulation could be added.

On the ground floor is a large living room with a billiard table and a bedroom served by a bathroom. At the south end of the building, with separate access, is a large cellar/storage room. Going up to the first floor (also accessible directly from the outside via a characteristic staircase with an antique oven) we find instead the dining room with adjoining kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

About 80 m from the house is a shed (32 m² – 344 ft²) that houses the photovoltaic system and is used as covered parking for cars. However, the size is also sufficient as a shelter for agricultural vehicles. The photovoltaic system consists of two independent sections (4 + 2 kW) capable of operating independently due to the presence of two separate inverters. Excess power is stored via 10-kW battery and also powers an electric vehicle charging station.

A 38-m phreatic well (flow rate of about 1 Lt/s) has been dug on the property, which ensures a constant water supply for filling the pool and irrigation.
