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 a splendid panoramic position on the hills of the Casentino with a view over the Valdarno, not far from Bibbiena and Talla, renovated farmhouse with swimming pool and wellness centre for sale. The house is in excellent condition, skillfully restored while maintaining its rustic character, and enjoys an excellent southern exposure that ensures light all day long. 

The farmhouse (330 m² – 3,551 ft², 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is on two levels. The main entrance leads to a large living room where an antique fireplace warms the sapce. A large panoramic loggia with removable glass-walled openings is the natural complement to the living area, which also includes a well-equipped kitchen. On this floor there are also two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and an additional service bathroom.

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.

The property includes a park of 11,800 m² where, in addition to the villa, there is a 10 × 5 m heated swimming pool, a tool shed (36 m² – 387 ft²) and a small wellness center (45 m² – 484 ft², 1 bathroom) equipped with a Jacuzzi tub, an emotional shower, a hammam with chromotherapy and Technogym tools. A small portion of woodland (1.7 ha) completes the property on the north side.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The country house (253 m² – 2,722 ft², 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is the result of years of expansion of an old farmer’s house: in fact, the building is composed of four easily identifiable “sections”, dating in the oldest part to the 18th century (north) and in the most recent to the early 20th century (south). The structure has been renovated with the addition of modern solutions that ensure good thermal and acoustic insulation (Vasistas fixtures with Schuko windows installed in 2022) and high energy efficiency (condensing boiler, external heat pump, solar thermal panel with 150-liter storage). The systems are remotely controllable. The roof was also entirely disassembled and reassembled in 2022 so that a layer of insulation could be added.

On the ground floor is a large living room with a billiard table and a bedroom served by a bathroom. At the south end of the building, with separate access, is a large cellar/storage room. Going up to the first floor (also accessible directly from the outside via a characteristic staircase with an antique oven) we find instead the dining room with adjoining kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

About 80 m from the house is a shed (32 m² – 344 ft²) that houses the photovoltaic system and is used as covered parking for cars. However, the size is also sufficient as a shelter for agricultural vehicles. The photovoltaic system consists of two independent sections (4 + 2 kW) capable of operating independently due to the presence of two separate inverters. Excess power is stored via 10-kW battery and also powers an electric vehicle charging station.

A 38-m phreatic well (flow rate of about 1 Lt/s) has been dug on the property, which ensures a constant water supply for filling the pool and irrigation.

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.
