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):

• Ground floor: large living room with loggia, eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry room and cellar (currently used as a storage room but potentially convertible into a bedroom);
• First floor: dining room, double living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and office space (convertible to bedroom).

Next to the main building is an outbuilding (86 m² – 925 ft²), on two floors, which could be easily converted into a small guesthouse consisting of living area on the ground floor and bedroom with bathroom on the first floor.

This delightful farmhouse is only ten minutes from the center of Sansepolcro, in a secluded location easily accessible via a well-maintained dirt road, and is immersed in the tranquility of the countryside, inserted into a small inhabited nucleus at the foot of an ancient castle, where the sense of privacy and independence remains absolute and fully guaranteed. The 2,400-m² garden features terraces with a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and several convivial and panoramic corners.

The property (249 m²) develops over two levels and retains on the ground floor spaces that were once used as stables and deposits, now transformed into large multipurpose areas that extend across the entire surface of the building, offering rare, flexible potential and extraordinary versatility.

On the upper floor, the current layout allows for a comfortable division into two autonomous but interconnected housing units. The first, overlooking the garden, consists of a habitable kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, with a cozy, functional, and welcoming setting. The second unit, with the possibility of independent entrance, offers a larger and more convivial dimension, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, a large living room with fireplace, a spacious equipped kitchen area, and an additional bathroom.

Completing the property are a woodshed and an ancient oven, authentic features that enrich and enhance the rural character of the complex.

In Tuscany, immersed in the hills of Val d’Orcia, between the small medieval village of Monticchiello and the historic city of Pienza, rustic farmhouse for sale. The building (175 m² – 1,883 ft², 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is spread over two levels:

• Ground floor: living room with fireplace, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and laundry;
• First floor: four bedrooms and bathroom.

The farmhouse is surrounded by 2,200 m² of garden and features a panoramic 12 × 6 m swimming pool, located a short distance from the building and surrounded by a terracotta solarium.

Basic services are available in the beautiful medieval village of Montepulciano, reachable by car in less than ten minutes from the property. From the estate, you can then quickly visit many of the most famous and interesting centers in Tuscany (Montepulciano, Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, Castiglione d’Orcia, Chianciano Terme…).

On the hills of Umbria, not far from the medieval town of Pietralunga, renovated farmhouse with outbuilding for sale. The house (462 m² – 4,971 ft²) is spread over three levels: on the lowest level are some rooms used as a living room and office space, as well as a bathroom and laundry; on the intermediate floor is the living area composed of a dining room, kitchen, bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and guest bathroom; on the top floor is the sleeping area with three bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet) and three bathrooms.

The guesthouse (145 m² – 1,560 ft²) is located not far from the farmhouse and requires some renovation and modernization work. On the ground floor are, in addition to the garage, the living room, kitchen, and a guest bathroom; on the first floor, two bedrooms and a shared bathroom.

The buildings are surrounded by 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres) of slightly sloping land, mainly covered with lawns and trees.

In the high area of the town of Apecchio, on the hills of Marche, a few kilometers from the sea, two renovated farmhouses with land for sale. The two main houses, according to the findings found during the renovation carried out in the early 2000s, seem to date back to the 17th and 18th centuries respectively. According to the plan, they were intended to serve as a hospitality structure for the creation of a real thermal center dedicated to health and body care.

The renovation of the buildings was carried out with particular attention, in such a way as not to modify their characteristics, using high-quality materials that allowed both the enhancement of the already characteristic and well-built main structures, and the possibility of exploiting them at a tourist level, which also takes into account the necessary practical needs of a hospitality activity. 

Thus, in the lower parts, common areas have been prepared that can be used as meeting rooms, tasting rooms, and reception, while on the upper floors, accessible by already installed elevators, rooms with bathrooms and small suites have been created, completing the hospitality facilities.

Both farmhouses have several common rooms available, located on the ground floor. The structures are already equipped with all the sanitary ware for the bathrooms (yet to be installed) and the systems are all ready to be connected.

In a scenic location on the island of Capraia, with views of the sea and the TuscanArchipelago, organic wine estate for sale. The property was established in the early 2000s when the then-owner undertook a skillful restoration of the land, which had long been maintained by the “inmates” of the island’s prison. The terraces were restored, and over the years, approximately 5.0 hectares of vineyards were planted. The grape varieties are typical of this region of Tuscany (Aleatico, Vermentino, Sangiovese, Colorino, and Ciliegiolo) and yield approximately 20,000 bottles of wine per year.

• Toscana IGT Bianco: 100% Ansonica
• Toscana IGT Bianco: 100% Vermentino
• Toscana IGT Rosso: 45% Colorino, 45% Ciliegiolo, 10% Sangiovese
• Toscana IGT Rosé: 100% Aleatico
• Toscana IGT Passito: 100% Aleatico

The wine cellar was established in what was once the prison workshop (previously already used as a winery) and could be expanded through the renovation of other parts of the prison.

It is important to note that the winery owns both its own land (approximately 5.5 ha) and leased plots (22.8 ha). The winery itself is housed in a building owned by the municipality, which has granted the company a 40-year lease (expiring in 2053).

Services for daily needs (including schools) are available in the town of Capraia (3 km; 10 min). The ferry service connects the island to the mainland with a stop in Livorno (about 3 hours 30 minutes), and from there you can easily travel throughout Tuscany. Pisa airport is about half an hour from Livorno and offers international flights year-round.

On the hills between Tuscany and Umbria, not far from Cortona and Lake Trasimeno, a rustic stone house for sale to be renovated. The property (70 m², dating back to the mid-1700s) is a typical Tuscan-style stone farmhouse and spans two levels for a total of five rooms: these still retain much of their original features (stone floors on the ground floor, fireplace on the first floor…) and during renovations a new layout of the spaces could also be decided. On the roof of the building, there is a beautiful panoramic terrace (15 m²) with a view of the countryside, while the building has a small plot of land (about 280 m²) for outdoor relaxing moments.

In a panoramic position with view over the town of Umbertide, farmhouse to be restored with annex and land. The property (438 m²) needs consolidation and modernization work but still has all the original finishes. The farmhouse currently houses 8 rooms, while the shed could be converted into a small guesthouse with 2 bedrooms. The 8.1 hectares of land include an olive grove and could accommodate a swimming pool.

The presence of numerous bedrooms, many of which with totally independent access, make the property very suitable for use as an accommodation business, not to mention its very convenient location close to a town.

The services are all available in Umbertide (5km; 10') but the proximity to the junction of the E45 motorway makes it possible to reach the historic towns of Umbria in less than an hour (Gubbio, Città di Castello, Perugia, Assisi, Todi...).

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.
