Villa in Tuscany

Just outside a medieval town in the province of Lucca, period villa with park, manorial chapel and swimming pool for sale. The property, dating back to the 16th century, consists of several buildings including a guesthouse and the old barn for a total of over 1,800 m². The villa is in need of some restoration work, while the guesthouse is in excellent condition and regularly rented out to tourists and holidaymakers. The property is completed by 5.8 hectares of land with park, small vineyard and 100 olive trees.

The property is in a very convenient location, less than one kilometer from basic services and less than twenty minutes’ drive from the historic center of Lucca. The location also makes it possible to reach Florence quickly (1h 15’) and from here all of Italy thanks to the extensive rail and road connections.

Perched on a hill near Arezzo, with breathtaking views of the entire Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno, an 11th-century medieval castle for renovation for sale. The building (3,000 m² – 32,280 ft²) is built around a charming central courtyard with a well and comprises three main levels plus the tower, which has an additional floor (for a total of 46 rooms). The building is currently only partially renovated, and a portion on the ground floor is occasionally used as living quarters. The rest of the building has undergone some consolidation and restoration works in the past years, but these have not been completed.

The castle has large halls with very high ceilings, a stately appearance and with most of the finishes still intact. The floors of some sections were entirely dismantled during the work, and the terracotta tiles are all preserved for future repositioning. The ceilings feature typical wooden beams on the upper floors and beautiful brick vaults on the lower levels.

Two ruined buildings (about 500 m² – 5,380 ft²) could be restored together with the castle to create an independent guest house or common spaces for ceremonies and events.

The property is enhanced by an elegant 8,000-m² English-style park that rests on the castle wall and offers unparalleled views of the Valdichiana. This open space is perfect for ceremonies and weddings and could easily accommodate a swimming pool. Access is via a quaint tree-lined driveway that climbs up the hill from the public road.

To the rear of the building then lies a large olive grove (about 2.3 hectares) and a large forest (11.4 ha) that could be used as a source of income by cutting wood.

On the Chianti Classico hills, a short distance from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, an 41.9-hectare estate with vineyards (24.8 ha), olive grove (6.1 ha) and manorial villa. The property focuses on the production of grapes (with the possibility of creating a wine cellar in the buildings to be restored) and olive oil, but one could also focus on developing the estate for tourism and accommodation purposes by restoring the manorial villa and its annexes.

The services are all available in the village where the villa is located (100 m, also on foot) and from the property it is possible to reach the most famous art cities of Tuscany in little more than an hour (Florence, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Pisa, Montalcino...).

In a quiet location on the edge of a small village between Castiglion Fiorentino and Cortona, with a beautiful view of the Montecchio fortress, farmhouse for sale. The building (190 m² – 2,044 ft², 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is on two levels and has been completely renovated. On the ground floor is the living area consisting of entrance hall, sitting room, dining area, kitchen, laundry and service bathroom. Going up to the first floor leads to a landing: from here there is access to a bathroom and the central corridor that leads on one side to the master bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, and on the other to a sitting room connected in turn to a second bedroom.

The guesthouse (30 m² – 323 ft², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) is located just in front of the farmhouse and is intended as a studio apartment with kitchen and en-suite bathroom.

A small rustic kitchen (21 m² – 226 ft²) with an outdoor dining area completes the property.

The farmhouse is accompanied by a private garden with parking (990 m²) and tall plants that provide an excellent outdoor space for relaxing in summer. On the other hand, the rest of the property is covered by an olive grove (2,444 m² for about 70 plants in total), which allows the production of a small amount of oil for personal use.

The property is very suitable for those looking for a quiet and private home within a small hamlet providing all basic amenities.

On the Chianti hills, not far from Gaiole and Siena and in a panoramic position, rustic farmhouse with 3.0 ha of land for sale. The property is located in a very scenic area, with open views of the hills and vineyards of Tuscany, and historically populated since ancient times (Etruscan remains dating back to the 7th century BCE have been found in the area).

The farmhouse (318 m² – 3,422 ft², 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is a typical Tuscan-style rural building dating in its original layout to the 11th century. An interesting feature is that the building has always been maintained in such a way as to preserve its salient features, which therefore remain clearly visible and intact. The ground floor, accessible through a portico and several doors on the sides of the building, houses the old agricultural premises consisting of cellars, stables and technical rooms. The stone staircase with 15 steps rises from the porch to the characteristic arched loggia that gives access to the upstairs dwelling. The door opens to a large living room with adjoining kitchen. From here there is then access to the two sleeping areas of the farmhouse: the first consisting of two bedrooms with shared bathroom, the second of four bedrooms and a bathroom. The turret houses a small sitting room with panoramic views.

Not far from the farmhouse are then a small shed (58 m² – 624 ft²) and an old barn (120 m² – 1,291 m²) that is now dilapidated but can be rebuilt to create a guest house.

The rest of the land, on the other hand, is agricultural in nature and includes a 7,400-m² field that could easily accommodate a corral for horses, and some wooded areas (about 1.7 ha) that surround the property and provide privacy.

If interested, another plot of olive grove is available for sale in the vicinity (1.5 ha).

The villa is surrounded by a private garden of 7,940 m² dotted with ornamental plants and bushes and enriched by a private pond with water lilies. Outside the garden, the property includes an olive grove (about 5,000 m² with a total of 160 trees), a small vineyard (1,500 m²), and a large field (1.5 ha) currently unused but potentially suitable for planting more olive trees and/or vines.
