Reggello

On the hills of Valdarno between Arezzo and Florence, in a very panoramic position between 750 and 1,000 m above sea level, agricultural estate of 101 ha with Agriturismo and natural springs for sale.

The beauty, panoramic view and healthiness of the places, combined with the abundant availability of water resource and the presence of buildings suitable for the purpose, make the property particularly suitable for an agricultural activity of cultivation and breeding connected to an agritourism hospitality business.

The estate would also be particularly suitable for horse breeding for tourism purposes due to its location in an area rich in natural trails all to be explored.

The agricultural and livestock activity, with annexed pork butchery, experienced its greatest expansion between the 1990s and 2000s, achieving excellent quality results and national recognition. It was later downsized to leave more room for agritourism activities with overnight stays and catering.

The agritourism activity is now fully operational with 20 authorized beds, and the necessary facilities are still in place to reactivate and implement meat processing, aimed at the production of traditional Tuscan excellence.

On the edge of a village near the famous Vallombrosa Abbey, an hour from Florence, neo-Gothic castle with park for sale. The property is located within the Vallombrosa Biogenetic Nature Reserve, characterized by immense forests and experimental arboretums dating back to the late 19th century.

The villa (3,370 m² – 36,361 ft², up to 35 bedrooms and 35 bathrooms) is a large building created in accordance with the ideals of the Romantic Middle Ages typical of the late 19th century: commissioned by Count Antonino Pio Resse and his wife Elizabeth Woodbridge Phelps Pearsall, the villa was designed by architect Corinto Corinti, who already incorporated some of those elements that would later become a staple of the later Art Nouveau style. Design work began in 1879 and the mansion was inaugurated in 1887: in the following years ideas were proposed for enlargement but no work was ever carried out, and in 1892 the Resse family left Florence (perhaps because of financial problems) and the castle was sold at auction along with much of the artwork that decorated it. During the 20th century the castle was converted into a hotel with the construction of new bathrooms to serve the bedrooms, but the complex was abandoned in the 1970s. The current owner has undertaken major restoration work since 2003.

The ground floor features large stately rooms, intended for guest reception and potentially usable as reception and restaurant/breakfast room. The basement contains the old cellars, a kitchen and storage rooms, while the upper floors house guest rooms and bathrooms. The building is included of the list of assets of significant historical-architectural interest and protected by a 2014 decree of the Soprintentendenza.

The park also contains several ruined buildings (750 m² – 8,070 ft²) that were once used as sheds, laundry, storerooms and outhouses.

The park surrounding the villa covers about 3.7 hectares (9.2 acres). Trees grown in the park and around the property provide pleasant shady spaces for the summer and shelter the property from curious onlookers and prying eyes.

On the hills of Reggello, about half an hour from Florence and in a very panoramic position, rustic farmhouse with outbuilding and olive grove for sale. The main property is currently divided into two independent apartments (5 bedrooms total) while the annex could be converted into an additional living unit. Completing the property is 1.3 ha of land.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (394 m² – 4,239 ft², 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is a rustic building on two floors, renovated in Tuscan style with many of the original features intact, and divided into two apartments (one on each floor):
