Renovation projects & Investments

This property is located in a panoramic and retired position on the hills around Montone, in Umbria. The manorial villa (670 m² – 7,209 ft², 12 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is laid over three floors. On the ground floor is the entrance room with the staircase to the upper levels, the cellars of the villa, a private office and a painter studio with windows overlooking the valley. On the first floor are a dining room with kitchen and pantry, an ample living with exit onto the 40-sqm terrace four bedrooms and a bathroom. Going up another staircase one gets to the second floor, where are a huge reception room and eight bedrooms. The last floor is made up of lofts and crawl spaces used as storages.

The villa needs a total renovation and a series of updates to replace the old systems and create more bathrooms for the house.

A short distance from the villa is the old barn (20 m² – 215 ft²), to be restored and useful as a storage room and/or workshop.

In a defiladed position from the villa is a ruined farmhouse (200 m² – 2,152 ft², 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) that could be restored into a guesthouse and/or accommodation for a keeper. The building is laid over two independent floors that could be used respectively as living area (lower level) and sleeping area (upper level).

The property is then completed by a warehouse (110 m² – 1,184 ft²) where one can easily shelter cars and agricultural vehicles.

On the outskirts of Sansepolcro, in a quiet residential area, house to be completed for sale. The property (301 sqm – 3,239 sqft) is currently in builder’s finish and therefore the buyer will have maximum freedom about the interior layout. The three-story building is made entirely of reinforced concrete with exposed stone facades. At the engineering level, the channels for electrical connections, septic tanks and well for garden irrigation are already in place. The house was designed with the following distribution of spaces in mind:

• Lower ground floor: large garage and storerooms;
• Upper ground floor: large living room with porch and open kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms;
• First floor: habitable attic with prepared drains for kitchen and two bathrooms.

However, the best solution to make the most of the available space would be to create two independent housing units, identical in layout and consisting of living area with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outside, the house is surrounded by a 670-sqm plot of land that should accommodate a yard for access to the garage in front of the house and a garden on the right side of the building, with direct access from the raised ground floor.

In a truly privileged position, on the summit of the highest hill overlooking the Marina di Scarlino tourist harbor, surrounded by the unspoiled nature of the Tuscan Maremma, this extraordinary property represents a unique opportunity to create a prestigious residence with an exclusive architectural design. Protected by thousands of hectares of Mediterranean scrubland, the villa enjoys spectacular panoramic sea views stretching across the Gulf of Follonica, Elba Island and, on the clearest days, as far as Corsica.

The sale includes the property, the land, the already approved renovation project, and the complete execution of the planned works, offering a prestigious turnkey solution designed to combine elegance, comfort, and functionality.

The project reinterprets the authentic charm of a masseria immersed in the Tuscan Maremma through a refined and understated architectural style, characterized by clean lines, harmonious volumes, and materials that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The walls, finished with a textured rustic plaster in warm Mediterranean tones, integrate perfectly with the natural setting, while the building's soft, embracing shape opens towards the west to welcome the light of the sunset, creating a continuous dialogue between architecture and nature.

The rear of the villa, private and sheltered, features the exclusive entrance to the spacious master suite, overlooking a private east-facing courtyard. The refined terracotta mashrabiya screens, a distinctive feature of the project, filter the natural light, creating evocative plays of light and shadow and ever-changing atmospheres throughout the day.

In the Tuscan countryside, not far from the town of Poggibonsi in the heart of Val d’Elsa, rural hamlet with agricultural land for sale. The complex, over 1,200 m² in total, preserves the authentic character of Tuscan rural architecture, with charming and traditional environments, but requires significant renovation and enhancement work. From an urban planning perspective, the buildings are recognized as having historical and architectural value, which requires conservative recovery while fully respecting the original identity.

Thanks to its size, location, and potential, the property lends itself to the development of a prestigious private residence, an exclusive village, or a charming hospitality facility, such as a relais, a boutique hotel, or a high-level Agriturismo immersed in the Tuscan countryside.

In the heart of the gentle hills of Marche, immersed in a landscape of rare authenticity and extraordinary beauty just a few kilometers from Morro d’Alba, is this wine estate. The land is harmoniously developed along a panoramic ridge, in a protected natural setting that guarantees privacy and high environmental quality. A scenic tree-lined driveway, about 600 meters long, leads to the entrance of the property, giving a scenic and distinctive character to the arrival.

The property covers a total of 13.4 hectares (33.1 acres) on a hillside position and well exposed to the sun. Almost all of the company is dedicated to DOC vineyard:

On the hills of Fiesole, in a panoramic position with a breathtaking view of Florence, rustic farmhouse to be restored for sale.

The house is surrounded by roughly 1.000 m² of garden to be recovered. The remainder of the property (roughly 3,0 ha) is entirely covered in olive trees that allow producing an excellent extra-virgin olive oil.

In a secluded position and immersed in the countryside, not far from Marina di Ragusa, typical masseria for sale. The property consists of various buildings, some in good condition, others to be renovated, totaling over 1,200 m² of surface area. The shape of the building and the presence of independent residences make the property very suitable as a base for a renovation project and conversion into a boutique hotel, also considering its proximity to the sea.

The masseria (549 m² – 5,907 ft², 1 bedroom, and 2 bathrooms) is spread over two levels. On the ground floor, there are currently old agricultural deposits and some stables, plus a service bathroom, all potentially convertible into additional living space. An external staircase leads to the farmer’s house on the first floor, consisting of an entrance, living room with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, along with two storage rooms. On the eastern side of the building, the living room opens onto a panoramic terrace with sea view.

The property also has three independent guesthouses to be renovated:

• Dep. A (305 m² – 3,282 ft²): entrance, kitchen, dining room, two lounges, two bedrooms, and a bathroom;
• Dep. B (117 m² – 1,259 ft²): living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Dep. C (98 m² – 1,054 ft²): living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

Completing the property are the old stables (135 m² – 1,453 ft²) and a very convenient agricultural storage (80 m² – 861 ft²) for storing tools.

The farmhouse is built around a characteristic paved courtyard (1,750 m²), very suggestive and also suitable for events. In a secluded corner of the property, there is a 7 × 3 m swimming pool.

Outside the boundary wall, the property has about 7.7 hectares of flat arable land, very suitable for planting typical crops of the area.

In the high area of the town of Apecchio, on the hills of Marche, a few kilometers from the sea, two renovated farmhouses with land for sale. The two main houses, according to the findings found during the renovation carried out in the early 2000s, seem to date back to the 17th and 18th centuries respectively. According to the plan, they were intended to serve as a hospitality structure for the creation of a real thermal center dedicated to health and body care.

The renovation of the buildings was carried out with particular attention, in such a way as not to modify their characteristics, using high-quality materials that allowed both the enhancement of the already characteristic and well-built main structures, and the possibility of exploiting them at a tourist level, which also takes into account the necessary practical needs of a hospitality activity. 

Thus, in the lower parts, common areas have been prepared that can be used as meeting rooms, tasting rooms, and reception, while on the upper floors, accessible by already installed elevators, rooms with bathrooms and small suites have been created, completing the hospitality facilities.

Both farmhouses have several common rooms available, located on the ground floor. The structures are already equipped with all the sanitary ware for the bathrooms (yet to be installed) and the systems are all ready to be connected.

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.

PODERE “BELLAVISTA”

The manor house (1,100 m² – 11,836 ft², 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is a large, stately building, structured on three floors and entirely in need of renovation:

• Ground floor: wine cellar, various halls and reception rooms, kitchen and service bathroom;
• First floor: entrance hall, two kitchens, dining room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms;
• Second floor: practicable and partially habitable attics.

Next to the villa is a farmhouse (255 m² – 2,744 ft², 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), the old farmer’s dwelling, which also needs to be entirely renovated:

• Ground floor: farm storehouses, kitchen and sitting room;
• First floor: four bedrooms and bathroom.

The last building is a second farmhouse (263 m² – 2,830 ft², 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), former gardener's residence, to be renovated. On the ground floor are some storage rooms, while the rest of the building is divided into two apartments:

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

The buildings are surrounded by a garden of about 2,800 m², dotted with ancient trees (holm oaks), to be restored and enhanced.

In the hills of Umbria, not far from Perugia and in an area of rare beauty, impressive estate with medieval abbey for sale. The numerous buildings on the estate largely need restoration work, but the property boasts incredible development potential with the possibility of creating a high-level accommodation business (over 150 potential bedrooms) combined with the agricultural activity already in place.

The heart of the property is the beautiful 10th-century Benedictine abbey (over 6,500 m²). The building rose on the remains of a pre-existing Roman temple and reached its peak around the 12th century. Over the years, various bequests and donations meant that the abbey came to exert its influence over more than thirty towns and twenty castles in the Perugia area. The cloister and church visible today were built in the 13th century, and during the same period the same buildings were embellished with fine art and furnishings. Crisis began to set in at the end of the 14th century, and the abbey slowly became depopulated, until in 1602 it became the focal point of a large farm.

A group of Cistercian monks came to the abbey in 1749 and remained there continuously until the Unification of Italy, when the property was expropriated and sold.

The interior of the abbey still features original elements of rare beauty: the chapter house houses beautiful religious-themed frescoes from the late 13th century, while the church (dating back to the 14th century) still has the original altars decorated with frescoes by Bartolomeo Caporali and Fiorenzo di Lorenzo. In the basement, however, is the crypt, which is, to date, the oldest part of the abbey.

In the grounds of the abbey there are also 50 rustic buildings including farmhouses and agricultural outbuildings (over 27,000 m²): some of these (around twenty) have been renovated over the years and are in excellent condition, while the remaining ones are in need of restoration, consolidation and renovation. At the same time, the Master Plan of the Municipality of Perugia would allow the construction of new volumes within some areas of the property (roughly equal to those already existing) intended for tourist and accommodation activities.
