The estate covers approximately 4.0 hectares (9.9 ac) in total, in a rare balance between cultivation, nature, and private spaces. In the vineyard, the productive heart of the property, native and international varieties coexist, telling a dual personality: on one side the memory of Lunigiana, on the other a cultivated openness towards major European grape varieties.

Guests can count on 18 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom, a cozy restaurant, a 10,000-m² park with pool and a unique atmosphere.

The abbey is set at 600 m above sea level and reached via a well-maintained unpaved road (roughly 3 km) that descends towards the valley.

On the Mugello hills, in a highly scenic and private location, 62.2-hectare estate with a medieval castle and accommodation businesses for sale. The property boasts an almost thousand-year history and is in excellent condition, with over 5,300 m² of living space and great development potential for the hospitality activity. 

The heart of the property is formed by the castle (2,587 m² – 27,836 ft²), an imposing stone building perched on the hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside. The structure dates back to the 11th century and was most likely a fortified tower in its early phase. Over the centuries, the building was expanded and became an important control point of Mugello. In the 13th century, the fortress became part of Florence’s possessions, and a document from 1269 indicates that at that time, the castle consisted of a palazzo with a tower and thirteen houses arranged along the perimeter of the walls. By the end of the 14th century, the military function of the castle began to fade, and the fortress did not take part in significant military events from then on. A mid-17th-century census openly speaks of a villa rather than a castle, signaling the definitive conversion of the building into a countryside residence. The structure passed into the hands of various families and was renovated multiple times, without significantly altering its original appearance. Between 1915 and 1917, the castle was renovated by architect Agenore Socini, who also created the beautiful Italian-style garden (6,600 m²) that covers the south slope of the hill.

On the foothills of Casentino, not far from Arezzo and Subbiano, a 17th-century farmhouse with guesthouse and outbuildings for sale.

The 40.5 hectares surrounding the buildings are covered with woods and olive trees (7.3 ha).

The property, as a whole, lends itself very well to multiple uses.

A large family that was looking for a home in which to live in full contact with nature but at the same time not far from services would find the ideal place here. Alternatively, the country house could be converted into a B&B and/or vacation home with potential conversion of the old stables into a small wellness center for the guests. Finally, the estate could be managed in the form of an Agriturismo if the new owners wanted to try their hand at agricultural activities, which could include olive production alone, new organic crops and even animal breeding.

Immersed in the peaceful hills of the Mugello, in a panoramic position with charming views over the lake, this delightful country house preserves the authentic character of traditional Tuscan architecture. The property comprises the main house and a characteristic former hay barn, set in a setting of complete privacy and perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape.

The main house (461 m – 4,960 ft²) is arranged over two floors. The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall leading to the living area, which includes a large living room with a fireplace, currently also used as a billiard room, a spacious kitchen with a magnificent fireplace and oven, a sitting room, a laundry room, a guest bathroom, a storage room and a utility room. From the entrance hall there is also access to the cellar and the large garage. The floor is completed by two practical storage rooms with independent external access.

The upper floor accommodates the sleeping area, arranged around two hallways that lead to seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering generous and versatile spaces, ideal both as a private residence and for a hospitality project.

A short distance from the main house stands the former barn (69 m² – 742 ft²), an authentic rural building comprising a tool storage room and a covered shelter on the ground floor, while the upper floor retains the traditional open space of the hayloft, offering interesting opportunities for restoration and enhancement.

The estate covers approximately 35.9 hectares (88.7 acres), all on a hillside, and is mostly covered by woods that provide privacy and offer interesting opportunities for hikes and walks in the open air. A 2,000-m² garden has been laid out around the house, providing a place to relax outdoors in the summer. An olive grove (3.8 ha) covers the southern slope of the hill, and a plot of arable land (approximately 2.0 ha) could be used to plant a small vineyard.

A residence of authentic charm, where the character of Tuscan tradition blends seamlessly with the beauty of the surrounding landscape, creating an atmosphere of complete tranquility and an immersive experience in nature.
