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.

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. At the same time, the presence of agricultural land accompanying the buildings would allow those who wish to do so to maintain the setting of a farm with attached Agriturismo activity with the resulting tax benefits and income opportunities.

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.

Magnificent apartment in a historic palazzo dating back to the 17th century, completely restored, in the heart of one of Tuscany's most authentic towns.

The property covers an internal area of about 511 m² and occupies a significant portion of the building. The rooms, spacious and bright, have been restored with great care and attention to detail.

The main living room, approximately 90 m², is enhanced by a magnificent antique stone fireplace. Some floors retain the original parquet and the lighting has been carefully designed. From the living room’s French windows, one can access directly the panoramic terrace, the true highlight of the property.

Adjacent to the living room is a private office space, originally a small chapel, now transformed into an elegant workspace, also equipped with a convenient service kitchen.

The main kitchen, custom-made by Arclinea, is equipped with high-end appliances, a wine cellar for 80 bottles, and a breakfast area with a fireplace. It also has direct access to the terrace.

The elegant and refined dining room features a suggestive decorated ceiling and can comfortably seat up to ten people at the large table.

The master suite occupies an entire wing of the apartment and includes a spacious room with stucco decorated ceilings, direct access to the terrace, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom finished in Calacatta marble, equipped with a freestanding bathtub and a large walk-in shower.

Three additional bedrooms complete the property, characterized by vaulted ceilings or exposed beams; one of these also has a private sauna.

The terrace, extraordinary for its size (about 220 m²) and panoramic view, represents a unique outdoor space, with privileged views of Valdichiana, Montecchio Castle, and the historic rooftops of the town, an ideal environment for convivial moments with family and guests.

The property also includes two private parking spaces in the condominium courtyard and a historic cellar of about 146 m². With the necessary permits, the cellar could be connected to the home: the rooms, however, require maintenance works but offer great potential and a unique charm.

Due to its characteristics and location, the property is perfectly suited both as a main residence and as an elegant holiday home or tourist investment.

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.

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.
