Country

Among the rolling hills of Umbria, with a privileged view of Lake Trasimeno, stands this refined Art Nouveau villa: an exclusive residence where elegance, nature and tranquility blend in perfect harmony. The villa has been recently restored with high-quality materials and the addition of modern comforts suited to the needs of the 21st century. The property is immersed in a private and panoramic setting, with open views of the lake sunsets and just minutes from the main services.

The manor house (415 m² – 4,465 ft², 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms), dating back to the 19th century and reworked in Art Nouveau style, consists of three floors and has already been renovated:

• Ground floor: entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, TV room, service bathroom, pantry and technical room;
• First floor: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, sitting room and panoramic terrace and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms;
• Second floor: dining room, living room, laundry room, bedroom with en-suite bathroom and game room.

A small outbuilding (46 m² – 495 ft²) under renovation completes the property.

Nestled on the top of a hill overlooking the northern shore of Lake Trasimeno, the villa offers about 7,500 m² of private parkland, embellished with an elegant Italian garden, centuries-old cedars of Lebanon and a 15 × 8 m panoramic swimming pool. The atmosphere is that of a private oasis, ideal both as a main residence and as a prestigious home for moments of relaxation.

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 surrounding Sansepolcro, in a very panoramic position, hamlet for sale. The property has been entirely renovated and has a hotel license: the structure has 14 guest bedrooms, distributed in the various buildings, and large rooms for events and conferences.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The manor house (1,060 m² – 11,405 ft², 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms) is a large historic stately building, dating back to the 18th century and originally intended as a noble country residence.

The living area on the ground floor features classic wooden beams on the ceilings (painted white) and original terracotta floors in a soft pink/red color. The rooms are all painted in very light colors that allow light to diffuse into the building, making it cozy and very welcoming. The new generation kitchen is equipped with Gaggenau appliances of the highest quality.

This historic winery is located in the heart of the Viterbo hills, an area of great agricultural and landscape value, characterized by volcanic soils and a long winemaking tradition. The property represents an authentic and established reality, capable of combining history, territorial identity and development potential.

The estate covers about 13.0 hectares in total, of which 9.2 ha are planted with vines, conducted organically, and enjoys an intact and evocative natural setting. The vineyards benefit from particularly favorable soil and climate conditions, which allow for consistent quality production and good varietal diversification. The vineyard includes both Italian varieties such as Sangiovese (12.1 percent), Malvasia (10.1 percent), Montepulciano (6.8 percent) and Trebbiano (5.6 percent), and international grapes such as Merlot (25.6 percent), Chardonnay (15.2 percent), Sauvignon Blanc (12.7 percent), Pinot Blanc (6.1 percent) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5.8 percent), offering a wide and flexible production range.

The winery produces the following wines:

• Lazio IGT Bianco: Sauvignon Blanc 100%
• Lazio IGT Bianco: Malvasia 100%
• Lazio IGT Brut Spumante: Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia
• Lazio IGT Rosso: Sangiovese, Merlot
• Lazio IGT Orange Riserva: Malvasia 100%

Part of the farm is covered with arable land (about 3.6 ha) characterized by excellent exposure and soils very suitable for planting additional vines.

From a strategic point of view, the winery offers an interesting potential for growth, both in terms of commercial development of the brand and through the strengthening of reception, tasting and wine tourism activities, today increasingly central to the enhancement of quality wineries. The combination of history, structured agricultural assets, territorial identity and still manageable size makes this winery an ideal opportunity for an investor, an industry operator or a family interested in a project with concrete development prospects.

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.

Set atop a hill in the Val d’Orcia, in an incredibly panoramic location, hamlet with medieval castle for sale. The property (over 4,100 sqm) boasts numerous buildings that allow one to actually dive in what is for all intents and purposes a virtually unaltered medieval village. The buildings are in need of renovation but one could easily convert the complex into a luxury hotel with 37+ bedrooms.

HISTORY OF THE CASTLE

The castle is already documented in the 12th century as a property of the Salimbeni family, until it was bought by the Republic of Siena between 1250 and 1258. The keep became a valuable defensive position for Siena until the mid-16th century when Florence conquered the whole Tuscany and all the fortresses in the Sienese region lost their relevance. The hamlet became a farming estate, owned by the Piccolomini-Clementini family.
