Bibbiena

In the heart of Casentino, on the slopes overlooking the villages of Marcena and Partina, 500-hectare estate for sale, particularly interesting due to its size and notable naturalistic value. The estate forms a single landholding with a predominantly mountainous and hilly character. The property extends from about 480 m of altitude, near the Archiano stream, up to 1,208 m at the highest point, offering a remarkable variety of environments, exposures, and landscapes.

About 470 hectares fall within the municipality of Bibbiena and about 30 hectares within Chiusi della Verna. A portion of about 190 hectares is included in the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park, in a naturalistic context of incredible scenic interest.

The main component of the property consists of woods, with a prevalence of oak-type formations, particularly Turkey oak, and significant beech forest areas.

The woods are characterized by various forms of management and treatment, including coppice, high forest, and woods in transition to high forest, as well as areas of old hornbeam coppice. Forest management has been the subject of a previous ten-year plan aimed at sustainable management of the forest heritage.

Within the portion falling inside the National Park, beech woods prevail, present both as high forest and as coppices in conversion and hornbeam coppices, the latter being a historical form of forest management in the Tuscan Apennines.

In the heart of the Casentino, in a beautiful and largely unspoiled landscape between the hills and mountains of eastern Tuscany, vast agricultural estate of approximately 378 hectares with historic farmhouses, a former manorial villa, Agriturismo, livestock center, cheese dairy, artificial lake and extensive woodland for sale. The estate extends across the countryside around Castel Focognano, with a smaller portion near Pieve a Socana, and combines cultivated land, pasture, olive groves and extensive woodland with a substantial collection of rural buildings.

The property is particularly interesting for those looking for a large private estate, an agricultural investment or a hospitality project, thanks to the presence of an existing agritourism complex with swimming pool, numerous historic farmhouses to restore, and a modern livestock and dairy facility.

The property is currently organized around a mixed agricultural, forestry and livestock activity, with the livestock operation historically representing the main productive activity. The average livestock presence is approximately 800 breeding sheep, 200 breeding goats and 10 equines, with the production of sheep and goat milk, lambs and kids, as well as cheese and ricotta. The milk is processed directly within the estate's own dairy facility.

The animals, agricultural machinery and stock are not included in the sale.

On the hills of Casentino, at about 500 meters altitude and a very quiet and reserved position, 211-hectare estate with Agriturismo and livestock for sale. The activity is very successful in the tourist accommodation circuit (by 2025 there were 25 weeks occupied annually) with a clientele largely made up of European and American guests. The structure is also used for weddings and could be expanded to corporate meetings. There is still significant development potential with the renovation and reactivation of the horse stables and a ruin located in a panoramic position.

The Agriturismo (1,500 m² – 16,140 ft², 20 bedrooms and 23 bathrooms) is a large stone building with a typical Tuscan style, spread over three above-ground floors. The common areas include the reception, a restaurant with a professional kitchen, relaxation rooms for guests, and a wellness center (hot tub, Turkish bath, sauna, and fitness area). The accommodation part includes eleven bedrooms with private bathrooms and six independent apartments:

• Apt. N°1: living room with kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. N°2: living room with kitchen, reading room, two bedrooms, and three bathrooms;
• Apt. N°3: living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms;
• Apt. N°4: living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms, and one bathroom;
• Apt. N°5: living room, bedroom, and bathroom;
• Apt. N°6: studio with bathroom.

The farmhouse is surrounded by 8,500 m² of well-kept garden organized into two main sections. At the top, there is a real garden with shady tall trees, a canopy serving as an outdoor extension for the restaurant, and a convenient parking area for guests. The lower terrace features a 15 × 8 m swimming pool and an outdoor playground for children.

The property also includes various agricultural buildings (about 2,700 m² – 29,052 ft²) which house a large cattle barn and a horse stable (currently not in use) and a ruined farmhouse (885 m² – 9,523 ft²). The livestock includes 10 lactating cows and 3 donkeys, very interesting from an educational point of view for guided tours with guests.

Water supply is ensured by the municipal aqueduct, but the property also has two internal springs and the possibility to draw water from a nearby stream. For electricity, there is a 65-kW photovoltaic system that covers most of the property’s energy needs, in addition to supplying current to the grid for profit. The possibility of exploiting the roofs of the farm buildings for the installation of additional panels is currently under consideration.

In the heart of Casentino, at the foot of the Casentino Forests that guard the ancient Hermitage of Camaldoli, this property preserves a history deeply linked to the secular presence of the Camaldolese Monks, who for centuries played a key role in the religious, economic, and agricultural life of this territory.

The history of the property is part of the broader network of lands, farms, and agricultural structures that, over the centuries, belonged to the monastic community founded by St. Romuald at the beginning of the 11th century. The Camaldolese system developed not only around the Hermitage and the Monastery but also included an extensive rural estate to support the community's life and organize the agricultural activities of the area.

The origin of the estate is intertwined with this ancient organization. The estate's locations were originally owned by the monks and served a significant function along the old route of Casentino: it was a postal station for horse changes, located along the carriage road that crossed the countryside following the course of the Archiano river.

A crossing and connection point, therefore, between the agricultural world of the valley and the monastic one of the mountains, where the productive vocation and hospitality were already deeply connected.

Today, this ancient vocation lives on through the farm and agritourism activities, in a landscape of extraordinary authenticity where nature, agriculture, hospitality, and history still coexist harmoniously.

Country house of ancient origin, with agricultural outbuildings to be renovated, about 2.6 hectares of agricultural land and an area with building potential for residential use for sale. An interesting combination that offers multiple and diversified development possibilities.

This property is located in an area immediately close to the historic center of Bibbiena, in Casentino, where all necessary services are available. Of particular interest also from a historical-landscape perspective, the toponym has been documented in the ancient cartography of Tuscany since 1710, where it appears with the name “Podere del Apparita”. 

The name itself recalls one of the most distinctive features of the place: the elevated and strategic position, from which a wide view of the surrounding territory and the valley can be enjoyed. In the Tuscan tradition, the term “apparita” indeed identifies a place from which, traversing the territory, a sudden wide view of the landscape opens up.

The estate is distinguished for its panoramic position, direct relationship with the historic center of Bibbiena, the presence of historic agricultural terraces, and building potential.

On the first hills of Casentino, not far from Bibbiena, renovated rustic farmhouse with natural spring and access to a stream for sale. This farmhouse enjoys a secluded position near a small village immersed in a landscape of forests, fields, and watercourses. The close proximity to the stream gives the property an atmosphere of rare tranquility, punctuated by the sound of water and the scents of riparian vegetation. The surrounding territory offers a perfect balance between nature, history, and spirituality: the Casentinesi Forests National Park, the Sanctuary of La Verna, the Hermitage of Camaldoli, and the suggestive medieval villages of Casentino make this area one of the most authentic and fascinating in Tuscany.

The property is bordered by a stream with clear waters, a natural element that provides freshness during the summer season and creates a pleasant background sound, helping to make the environment particularly relaxing and evocative.

In the Casentino valley, not far from Arezzo and Bibbiena, countryside estateof 6.4 ha with farmhouse, horse stables and olive grove for sale.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main farmhouse (295 m² – 3,174 ft², 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is a characteristic stone building, the result of a very careful renovation of an old farmhouse. In the entrance hallway, where there is the staircase for access to the upper floor, the old bread oven has been preserved and is fully functional.

• Ground floor: entry, cellars, storage rooms, technical room and bathroom;
• First floor: living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, study and three bathrooms.

The farmhouse is accompanied by about 7,000 m² of garden on which one could build a swimming pool for guests or place shady gazebos.

Not far from the farmhouse is a small warehouse (31 m² – 333 ft²) to be restored that could be recovered for agritourism accommodation.

The agricultural buildings, partly obtained from the renovation of existing structures and partly newly built, are located on the right side of the farmhouse. The barn (140 m² – 1,506 ft²) is a large two-story building that could be recovered, at least in part, as a guest accommodation unit.

Adjacent to the barn, on the other hand, are the four horse stalls (42 m² – 452 ft² in total) and a large shed (110 m² – 1,184 ft²) that is used for storage of hay and work tools.

In the Casentino countryside, in a hilly and panoramic position about 30 minutes from Arezzo, rural estate with farm outbuildings and olive grove for sale. The characteristics of the property make it suitable both as a country home and as a main residence, thanks to its excellent accessibility. The presence of the farmland and olive grove provides privacy and tranquility, as well as the possibility of carrying out a hobby farming activity, producing oil for family use. A renovation of the outbuildings would allow them to be enhanced according to one's needs.

The farmhouse (285 m² – 3,070 ft², 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), renovated between 2007 and 2011, is currently used as a vacation home, rented weekly as an independent villa. The building is arranged on three levels:

• Ground floor: rooms used as wine cellar and storage, as well as a technical room/heating plant. On the side facing the swimming pool is a loggia, with a centuries-old oak tree next to it that offers shelter from the summer heat.
• First floor: also accessible via a double external stone staircase leading to a covered landing. It includes living room, kitchen with direct external access via a stone staircase, a bedroom and a bathroom. From the entrance hallway there is internal access to the ground floor via trapdoor and to the second floor.
• Second floor: living room with large windows, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

In the large lawn there is a panoramic 13 × 5 m swimming pool (built in 2011) with nearby a pool house (38 m² – 409 ft²) equipped with a Jacuzzi, fitness equipment and a bathroom. On the roof of the building, a panoramic solarium has been carved out.

Near the villa there are two outbuildings to be renovated. The main outbuilding (320 m² – 3,443 ft²) has two floors: the basement is used as a storage, while the ground floor contains a stable, barn and shed. Adjacent to the building is an old wood-burning oven. On the upstream side of the barn, on the other hand, there is a shed (88 m² – 947 ft²) that is very useful as a shelter for vehicles.

In the main square of Soci, a Casentino town known for its woolen mill and famous curly fabric, 141-m² apartment for sale on the first floor. The building, consisting of six residential units, is in excellent condition. Even the square, which has recently undergone a complete restoration, now offers a well-kept and welcoming environment overlooked by two of the home’s windows.

The ornate wooden condominium door leads to the hallway, where on the ground floor is the property’s cellar (5 m²), ideal as a convenient storage room. Through wide stone stairs one reaches the entrance to the dwelling.

The apartment, recently renovated with excellent finishes, consists of entrance hallway, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, large walk-in closet and bathroom. The windows of the living room and one of the rooms are facing west and directly overlook the square. On the opposite side, facing east, the large window in the kitchen leads to a terrace (11 m² – 118 ft²) that runs along the entire side of the apartment, where there is also a laundry room and boiler room.

A short distance from a town with all the necessary services (2km; 2’), in the province of Arezzo in Tuscany, villa with panoramic turret and 3.3 ha of private park.

The location of the villa, inside a partially fenced oak grove, gives the impression of living the countryside, thanks to the numerous trees dotting the park. However, the property is just a couple kilometers from a town, in a comfortable and easily reached position offering a high degree of quiet.

The access to the paved road grants a quick and easy access to several centres of Tuscany (Arezzo, Firenze, Cortona, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, Siena, Montalcino...).
