Renovation Project Italy

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.

Not far from Arezzo, in Tuscany, equestrian estate for sale. The main building of the property is a modern stable (1,900 m² – 20,444 ft²) with an ample covered training arena (20 × 46 m). 21 horse stalls are located on the longer sides of the building. On one of the short sides are located the offices, a club house for meetings, a refectory, a barn and a storage room.

Not far from the stables is an ample two-story farmhouse (459 m² – 4,939 ft²) in need of renovation but ideal if one wants to either live within the property or start an accommodation business. Right next to the farmhouse there is a shed once used as animal recovery, carriage workshop and storage room.

A small warehouse (73 m² – 785 ft²) is currently used as a tool storage house. A canopy (140 m² – 1,506 ft²) completes the property.

The property covers roughly 4.0 hectares of arable land, surrounding both the stables and the farmhouse. Just outside the stable are located an open-air arena (50 × 80 m) and 4 paddocks for the horses.

In a panoramic position with view over the town of Umbertide, farmhouse to be restored with annex and land. The property (438 m²) needs consolidation and modernization work but still has all the original finishes. The farmhouse currently houses 8 rooms, while the shed could be converted into a small guesthouse with 2 bedrooms. The 8.1 hectares of land include an olive grove and could accommodate a swimming pool.

The presence of numerous bedrooms, many of which with totally independent access, make the property very suitable for use as an accommodation business, not to mention its very convenient location close to a town.

The services are all available in Umbertide (5km; 10') but the proximity to the junction of the E45 motorway makes it possible to reach the historic towns of Umbria in less than an hour (Gubbio, Città di Castello, Perugia, Assisi, Todi...).

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.

On the hills of Magione, not far from Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, farmhouse to be renovated with 49.6 hectares of land for sale. The building (over 600 m²) is structurally solid, with roofs recently redone and walls in excellent condition. The interiors, however, require complete renovation, which offers broad flexibility to the new owners. The proposed project involves dividing the farmhouse into nine independent apartments, designed for guest accommodations and transforming the house into a rental property. 

• Apt. A: living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. B: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom;
• Apt. C: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms;
• Apt. D: entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. E: living room with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. F: living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. G: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom;
• Apt. H: living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. I: living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

Around the farmhouse, the flat land could be cultivated to create a private garden of 3,300 m² on which to also build a swimming pool. The rest of the property (about 49.3 hectares) is covered by woods that ensure great privacy and silence.

On the hills of the Tiber Valley, between Montone and Città di Castello, farmhouse to be restored with 8.5 hectares of land. The building has been consolidated and only needs internal finishing work: the current project envisages the creation of 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in addition to a spacious living area on the ground floor. The land around the building (approx. 1,000 m²) offers sufficient space for the creation of a panoramic garden, and the coppice could provide wood for heating at a reduced cost.

The property can be reached via an unpaved road (1.4 km) that connects directly to the municipal road system, and the medieval town of Montone is just a 10' drive from the farmhouse: all basic services can be found there. The most notable cities of Tuscany and Umbria are within driving distance (Umbertide, Città di Castello, Sansepolcro, Perugia, Cortona, Siena, Florence...).

Not far from Gubbio, in an extremely panoramic position on the hills of Umbria, this 19th-century farmhouse has been restored between 1999 and 2003 and would offer, upon completion, a maximum of 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.

The property, in a beautiful position with 270-degree view over the surrounding countryside, enjoys excellent privacy (the closest house is roughly 600 m away) and is easily reached via a well-maintained unpaved road, granting a quick and easy access to the necessary services (6km; 10’). The town of Gubbio is roughly 18 km (25’) by car and the Franciscan shrine of Assisi is 24 km (45’) away. Among other interesting cities the ones worth mentioning are Montefalco (59km; 1h), Urbino (81km; 1h 15’) and Fano (95km; 1h 20’).

The closest airport is, without a doubt, Perugia (28km; 30’), but Ancona, Florence and Rome are nonetheless easily reached in a short time frame.

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.

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.
