OFF-GRID PROPERTY, ECO-SUSTAINABLE ESTATE FOR SALE IN TUSCANY

The main farmhouse (227 sqm – 2,442 sqft) is laid out onto two floors organized as follows:

- Ground floor: cellar, closet, storage room and wood-burning oven;

- First floor: entrance hall, living room with dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom.

The dependance (49 sqm – 527 sqft) was once a tobacco drying barn laid out onto two floors for a total of four rooms which could be used for several purposes.

A shed (19 sqm – 204 sqft) is located not far from the farmhouse and can be used as a car garage.

The complex dates back to the year 1731, as testified by a worn-out carving on one of the epistyles of the buildings. Originally part of a farm, the farmhouse was built to host the families working the fiels and only at a later date it was expanded to become a private residence. In mid-20th century the last owners abandoned the building which was left alone for over fifty years. With a masterful restoration, the buildings have been fully recovered through a 10-year-long process (2002 – 2012) and are nowadays a beautiful private residence nestled amidst untouched nature.

While restoring the building, the owners decided to make the farmhouse an off-grid property, making the house fully autonomous. Electricity is provided by a photovoltaic system (able to produce up to 4 kW of power), while water supplies are granted by a private natural spring. Sewage is managed via Imhoff tanks.

The property in its entirety is made up of 7.2 hectares of land. Approximately 6,000 sqm of land are fenced and landscaped as a garden for the farmhouse, decorated by typical stone walls and accessible via a metal gate.

Just outside the farmhouse is located a beautiful paved pergola covered in wisteria flowers, ideal for al fresco dining during summer.

Not far from the farmhouse, at the bottom of the slope, is located a small lake.
