Olive grove

On the hills of Chianti, in the province of Florence, we find this small 4.8-hectare wine estate with Chianti Classico DOCG / Toscana IGT vineyards and a boutique accommodation business. The property is well established: the vineyards allow producing up to 10,000 bottles of wine per year, while the guests can rely on 7 bedrooms. A small olive grove (180 trees) allows producing roughly 500 liters of excellent extra-virgin DOP olive oil.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The farmhouse (339 m² – 3,648 ft², 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is a rural building, recently renovated, spread over two levels. On the ground floor, the central entrance divides the kitchen, a dining room, and a large lounge. The corridor leads to a service bathroom and the first bedroom with private bathroom. From the living room, there is access to a secondary room with a service bathroom. On the first floor is the sleeping area, composed of four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The old barn (214 m² – 2,303 ft², 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) has been completely renovated and today hosts the tasting room for the company’s products with a service bathroom and a two-level residence. On the ground floor are two kitchens (one habitable, the other with access to the veranda) and a bedroom with a bathroom; the upper floor is entirely occupied by a beautiful suite with a private bathroom and walk-in closet.

A paved stone courtyard separates the two buildings and offers a pleasant outdoor living area ideal for outdoor dinners and gatherings. The 4,300-m² garden behind the house hosts a 12 × 6 m swimming pool overlooking the vineyards.

Completing the property is a small wine cellar (42 m² – 452 ft²) with various sheds to shelter agricultural tools and equipment.

In the heart of Italy, on the beautiful Umbrian hills, this prestigious wine estate with its 23.4 hectares of land (including 8.0 ha of vineyards) is ideal for those looking for a well-established business (as proven by the high ratings on important magazines, both for wines and accommodation). The property (3,100 m²) features 11 bedrooms (up to 15) and a state-of-the-art wine cellar capable of producing up to 100,000 bottles of wine per year.

The main building of the property is laid out onto four floors, of which two underground and two above-ground intended for different purposes.

On the underground floors, in order to limit the waste of resources and energy, there is the modern and ample cellar (1,528 m² – 16,420 ft²) made up of a processing local, a storage room also acting as a labeling room, an ageing cellar, direct sales locals, a vehicle shelter, some depots and service rooms for water.

On the ground floor and first floor we find the residential units (1,572 m² – 16,914 ft²) for a total of 9 bedrooms (with en-suite bathrooms) currently usable but up to 13 by reworking the greenhouse local which is already designed for it.

There is then a recreation area equipped with a 15 × 5 m indoor swimming pool, service locals and a fitness area  with Turkish bath and gym plus a whirlwind tub placed on the terrace.

The guesthouse (97 m² – 1,044 ft²) grants two additional bedrooms for guests and/or clients.

Right next to the buildings is a well-maintained 4,000-m² garden fitted with an automated irrigation system. On the garden there are also a fountain and a covered area (36 m² – 387 ft²) perfect for al fresco dining or just as a recreation area. On the first floor we can find a spacious terrace (146 m² – 1,571 ft²).

In the most authentic and silent heart of Lunigiana, between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, lies this winery with a medieval castle belonging to the Malaspina family, immersed in a landscape of extraordinary natural integrity. 

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.

Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside and surrounded by rolling hills of extraordinary beauty, this charming farmhouse is a property of great prestige, combining the timeless appeal of traditional rural architecture with the versatility of a residence perfectly suited both as an elegant private home and as an exclusive hospitality business.

The property is arranged over several levels and stands out for its generous interior spaces, thoughtfully designed to ensure functionality, comfort and privacy. The ground floor preserves the property's historic agricultural character, housing numerous service areas including storerooms, storage rooms and a characteristic cellar once used for wine vats, offering a wide range of potential uses.

The residential area comprises six independent apartments, distributed between the ground and first floors. The units vary in size and layout, offering welcoming living areas with kitchens and lounges, bedrooms and bathrooms, while some are arranged over two levels, providing particularly spacious and private accommodation. The property is further enhanced by an attic consisting of three large rooms, ideal as ancillary space, together with additional rooms accessed via an external staircase, one of which opens onto a delightful panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside.

In the Valdarno hills, not far from Pergine and Bucine, rustic country house with garden and olive grove is for sale. The building (405 m²) is currently divided into two sections, one of which has already been renovated, while the other is to be completed according to a pre-approved plan. The two wings are connected but could be made completely independent to create two separate residential units.

The renovated section occupies the western part of the farmhouse and is laid out over two levels. The ground floor houses the living area, consisting of an entryway, living room, large eat-in kitchen, bathroom, and a spacious utility area with a small cellar and laundry room. The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms.

The eastern wing, which has yet to be renovated, is also spread over two levels and follows the same layout: the ground floor would house the living area, consisting of a large living/dining room, a hallway, a kitchen, and a guest bathroom. The first floor would house the sleeping area with two bedrooms, both with private bathrooms.

The renovation brought the building up to energy class A2, significantly increasing the efficiency of the systems and substantially reducing heating and electricity consumption. Contributing to this are the 4.1-kW photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the house and two accumulation batteries (total capacity 10 kW), which cover a large portion of the house’s energy needs.

The house is surrounded by a 2,700-m² garden, which is fenced off at its highest point. A gentle slope leads down from the house to a 10.5 × 4.5 m swimming pool (salt depuration) in a scenic location.

The rest of the property, approximately 9,500 m², is dotted with about 170 olive trees that produce excellent Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.

In the Tuscan countryside, not far from Arezzo, this Agriturismo is made up of several restored buildings for a total of 16 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a restaurant and a wellness center. The surrounding 23 ha of land houses 300 olive trees (producing up to 150 liters of oil per year), a chestnut grove, ample open surfaces to relax and an Infinity pool. The estate is energetically independent (95%) thanks to solar panels and firewood boiler.

The nearby village (3km; 5’) offers a few services (pharmacy, restaurants) but to have a full selection one must move to Arezzo (15km; 20’) where there are supermarkets, banks and post offices if needed. The other art cities of Tuscany (Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, San Gimignano) can all be reached in less than two hours.

The closest airport is Perugia (81km; 1h 5’) but the terminals in Florence, Pisa, Bologna and Rome are equally easy to reach.

On the foothills of Casentino, not far from Arezzo and Subbiano, a 17th-century farmhouse with guesthouse and outbuildings for sale. The property (468 m²), tastefully and carefully restored by the current owner, retains all original features and currently houses a total of 5 bedrooms with large and elegant living areas. 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.
