Arezzo

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. In the mid-19th century the structure became a farm/ranch and as such remained until the 1990s when it was purchased by the current owners who oversaw its renovation.

• Ground floor: reception, living room with fireplace, event room, several back rooms (made out of the former stables and very charming), two service bathrooms, utility room for the kitchen and garage;
• First floor: two large common living rooms and four bedrooms with private bathrooms;

At the back of the villa is guesthouse B (100 m² - 1,076 ft², 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), which, similar to the other, houses two beautiful suites with private bathrooms.

Completing the property is an outbuilding (70 m² – 753 ft², 1 bathroom) that houses the water storage room with autoclave and the changing room with bathroom for the pool.

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.

Not far from Anghiari, on the border between Tuscany and Umbria in a panoramic position, small rural hamlet for sale. The property consists of a main villa and two holiday homes (5 apartments in total), plus an annex to be restored for a total of 1,600 m². On the other hand, the land includes a large park (almost 8,000 m²) with a swimming pool and about 4.7 ha of agricultural land.

The manorial villa (740 m² – 7,962 ft², 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is slightly detached from the other structures and could be renovated to integrate the accommodation business, or maintained as a private residence, possibly making it totally independent with a second exclusive access. The villa was built on the site of an ancient monastery, whose façade is still recognizable in the main prospect. Inside it holds a Madonna attributed to Jacopo della Quercia, placed in a niche in the ancient walls of the monastery.

• Ground floor: entry, living room, service bathroom, cellar, garage/garage and heating plant;
• First floor: living room, reception hall with fireplace attributed to Michelangelo Buonarroti, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom and large panoramic terrace built above the garage;

At present, the connection to the lower floor of the villa is via an external staircase accessible from the living room and the kitchen; on the landing is a fully functioning wood-burning oven. On the lower floor there are two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and two spacious suites with private bathroom. All these rooms have independent access to the large park that slopes gently towards the valley.

In the hills between Valdambra and Valdichiana, in a very panoramic position on top of a hill, farm with renovated farmhouse for sale. The property has recently been renovated for use as an agritourism with 8 guest bedrooms and a beautiful panoramic swimming pool. The 12.0 hectares of land surrounding the building include vineyard and olive grove.

The property for its peculiar characteristics is an excellent solution for those who want a property simply for residential purposes, living or as a holiday home, being the extent of the land contained but sufficient to fully enjoy the property.

EXTERIOR

In a single body all around the buildings, the land slopes gently from the top of the hill where the buildings are located towards the valley. In fact, the property with its extension of about 12.0 hectares (of which 5.0 ha fenced) includes the hill in its entirety, in a landscape that goes from the flowery park around the villa to the olive groves and vineyards typical of the area.

Agriculturally, the property can count on a small vineyard (3,000 m²), an olivegrove (1.3 ha), lavender fields (7,200 m²), fruit trees (about 2,000 m²) and extensions of arable land where vegetables (also in greenhouses) and hazelnuts (2,000 m²) are grown. The rest of the property is devoted to woods that provide privacy and places for walking and hiking.
