Forlì-Cesena

On the hills of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, near Bertinoro, 26.2-ha estate with farmhouses and vineyards for sale. The property consists of a single body vineyard registered to Albana DOCG (2.8 ha) and Romagna IGT (19.6 ha):

• Vineyard surface: 22.4 hectares
• Varieties: Sangiovese, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Syrah, Chardonnay, Albana, Terrano, Barbera, Merlot, Uva Longanesi
• Training: pruned-spur cordon 
• Soil composition: medium texture with traces of clay
• Yearly production: up to 600 tons of grapes

Some olive trees (6,700 m²) are scattered around the property and are mainly used to divide the various plots of land and vineyards.

Also within the property are two large rural farmhouses with various outbuildings (approx. 1,400 m² in total), entirely to be restored but potentially very suitable for the creation of an Agriturismo with educational activities on the side. The volumes are also more than sufficient for the creation of a wine cellar so that the vineyard can be exploited directly.

It is also possible to purchase with (separate negotiation) the farmhouse with the wine cellar and the owners’ apartment, which is just a two-minute drive from the vineyards.

On the Romagna Apennines, in a panoramic and quiet position in the province of Cesena, 48-ha estate with rustic farmhouse for sale. The building (355 m²) is in excellent condition and currently houses 3 bedrooms. On the other hand, the farmland includes a small vineyard, an olive grove and large portions of arable land that open to further agricultural development for the property.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING

The farmhouse (355 m² – 3,820 ft², 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is on two floors:

• Ground floor: dining room with porch (38 m²), fully renovated kitchen with outdoor wood-fired oven, bathroom with washer and dryer, old large barn currently used as storage-restroom, but easily adaptable to any use;
• Second floor: large living room with thermo-ventilated fireplace, two sizeable bedrooms with shared bathroom, and one master bedroom which has a large terrace (38 m²) and an en-suite bathroom. All the rooms in this floor are equipped with air conditioning.

The house is sold fully furnished.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The house, thanks to its quiet position amidst nature, is perfect both as a private residence and a hosting business. Ample outdoor spaces allow breeding horses (with a connected horse riding facility) or the creation of an educational farm to show tourists and interested people how a real farm works. The stable on the ground floor could easily be converted into a cellar so to exploit the vineyard in the property.

On the first hills of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, 31-ha organic farm for sale with 300-m² residential building, 280-m² wine cellar and outbuildings, private lake, organic certification on wine and oil and on all land. With the vineyards and facilities in place, the farm can produce about 40,000 bottles/year of high-quality wine.

The farm is registered in the regional register of accommodation business and has a B&B start-up project in place. The agricultural part includes several vineyards (10.2 ha) and olive groves (about 2.9 ha) and large expanses of arable land and woodland.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (300 m² – 3,228 ft², 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms), a modern-looking building with porches, is structured on two floors and has been recently renovated with plans to start an agritourism-type activity. The whole building is equipped with LPG-powered heating and air conditioning. The building’s layout is as follows:

• Ground floor: entrance hall, living/dining room, breakfast room, two kitchens, bedroom and two bathrooms;
• First floor: four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus access to the loft.

The wine cellar (280 m² – 3,013 ft²), built in 2010 with modern solutions for insulation and air conditioning, is intended for processing activities and includes winemaking room (including equipment), cooperage and warehouse for finished products.

The current hectares of agricultural area would also allow a significant increase in the built volume with the possible construction of a new residential building of about 300 m² and about 2,500 m² of new buildings to support agricultural income (winemaking, Agriturismo, warehouses).

Outside there is also a tool shed for the maintenance of agricultural vehicles. The buildings are surrounded by 6,000 m² of gardens and a small grove.

This rural hamlet in need of renovation is located on the Emilian Apennines, not far from the Tuscan border. The residential part consists of three stone farmhouses (1,266 m²) that could be remodeled to create up to 15 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms for a rental development of the property. Completing the property is a stable (450 m²) for animal sheltering. The property's 29.9 hectares of land are used mainly for arable crops but are also suitable for vines and olive trees.

The close-by town (2km; 5') offers basic services (restaurant, a small grocery store, post office), and larger centers such as Bagno di Romagna and Mercato Saraceno can be reached in less than twenty minutes by car. For lovers of the sea, the best-known cities of the Romagna Coast can be reached in about an hour from the property, thanks to the E45 motorway junction located just 5 km from the hamlet.
