Renovation Project Italy

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.

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:

• Vineyards surface: 11.9577 hectares
• Appellations: Lacrima di Morro d’Alba DOC (8.9285 ha) + Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico (3.0232 ha)
• Altitude and exposure: 200 m above sea level (north-west)
• Training: spalliera (3,571 vines / ha)
• Years of planting: 1988 – 2004
• Wine production: up to 120,000 bottles / year

Complementing the agricultural component, the estate includes an olive grove (0.7 ha for a total of 218 plants) of Frantoio, Leccino, and Raggia varieties that allows the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil (currently for the personal consumption of the owners).

In a very panoramic and reserved position in the municipality of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, rustic farmhouse for sale. The property is in need of renovation, but represents an extraordinary opportunity for those who want to build a private residence, an Agriturismo or an accommodation business surrounded by greenery, with ample land available for agricultural activities, breeding or simply to enjoy the tranquility of nature.

The farmhouse (509 m² – 5,477 ft², 4 rooms and 1 bathroom) is distributed on two levels. On the ground floor there are seven large rooms formerly used as stables and cellars, while on the first floor is the actual dwelling consisting of large kitchen with fireplace, dining room, four bedrooms and bathroom.

Accompanying the property is a ruined barn (146 m² – 1,571 ft²) consisting of two rooms and a pigsty with eight pens and a large room used as a shed for agricultural tools.

The buildings are surrounded by 2,100 m² of flat land that could be turned into a garden, with the possibility of building a swimming pool. The rest of the property, on the other hand, consists of agricultural land divided between arable/grazing land (8.8 ha) and woods (25.6 ha) with chestnut grove.

On the hills of Fiesole, in a panoramic position with a breathtaking view of Florence, rustic farmhouse to be restored for sale. The house (439 m² – 4,724 ft²) is a rustic building laid over three floors. On the ground floor are several rooms used as cellars and storages, potentially convertible into residential spaces.

• Apt. A: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom;
• Apt. B: living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom;
• Apt. C: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom;
• Apt. D: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Not far from the house is an agricultural outbuilding (239 m² – 2,572 ft²) consisting of seven rooms, very convenient as a shelter for tools and/or oil storage.

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 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;

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

On the hills between Tuscany and Umbria, not far from Cortona and Lake Trasimeno, a rustic stone house for sale to be renovated. The property (70 m², dating back to the mid-1700s) is a typical Tuscan-style stone farmhouse and spans two levels for a total of five rooms: these still retain much of their original features (stone floors on the ground floor, fireplace on the first floor…) and during renovations a new layout of the spaces could also be decided. On the roof of the building, there is a beautiful panoramic terrace (15 m²) with a view of the countryside, while the building has a small plot of land (about 280 m²) for outdoor relaxing moments.

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.

A few kilometers from Osimo, not far from the famous Recanati and the crystalline coast of Numana, 93-hectare estate with eight farmhouses to renovate for sale. The property boasts numerous buildings (more than 4,300 m² in total, most to be renovated) that could be easily adapted for hospitality activities thanks to the presence of various independent farmhouses. The company offers great development potential for an agritourism-related hospitality business. The agricultural land includes an olive grove (1.2 hectares) which produces excellent olive oil.

The property is available with different options that allow maximum flexibility for the buyer:

• Entire property (Business center + land + farmhouses): € 4,900,000
• Only agricultural land: € 3,730,000
• Only farmhouses: € 1,230,000
• Individual farmhouses: see below

THE MAIN BODY

The business center (1,145 m² – 12,320 ft²), composed of annexes used for productive functions connected to agricultural activities, is located in a strategic and easily accessible position, ideal for activities related to the management of tillable land and running a structured farm. The property includes rural buildings for operational and logistical use, warehouses for storing equipment and products, as well as functional spaces for storing agricultural machinery.

One of the buildings is equipped with a photovoltaic system, which allows the production of renewable energy to support business activities, contributing to reduced management costs and improved overall energy efficiency.

The complex is suitable for different types of use, both for direct management and as an investment, thanks to the versatility of the spaces and the presence of already operational infrastructure, in a productive and well-organized agricultural context.
