A Farmhouse with Authentic Tuscan Features

The property is accessed via a short unpaved road in excellent condition. The farmhouse measures roughly 320 sqm over two floors.
Half of the building requires a complete renovation while the other half needs upgrades and personalization.

The ground floor includes a large room currently used as storage that can easily become a spacious lounge with bathroom as pre existing pipes and sewage are already in place.
An open plan kitchen dining area completes the lower level with stairs leading to the first floor.

The upper floor includes a sitting area, three bedrooms (one with air conditioning), a box room and a bathroom.
The home displays classic Tuscan features including exposed stone walls, wooden beams and terracotta floors. It is dated and needs restoration work but retains excellent potential.

Energy and Utility Features

The house is equipped with mains water, LPG gas tank, pellet burning stove for heating and 3 kW solar panels.
In the attic a 1000 liter water tank provides an additional supply.
A charming outdoor wood burning oven adds rustic character to the property.

Ruin for Redevelopment

The estate includes a significant 400 sqm ruin on two levels that can be rebuilt and converted into a guesthouse, a secondary home or incorporated into the main residence. This adds considerable flexibility and long term value to the property.

Land and Outdoor Space

Approximately 2.2 hectares of land surround the farmhouse including:
50 olive trees
a small vineyard
arable land
A rainwater cistern collects water from the roof offering a sustainable irrigation source.

The panoramic views extend 360 degrees across the Tuscan hills creating a breathtaking backdrop from every angle.

Potential and Versatility

This estate has impressive potential. The two halves of the farmhouse can be combined to create a single spacious villa with living areas on the ground floor and bedrooms upstairs.
Alternatively it can be developed into a B&B or divided into two semi detached homes ideal for a large family or rental use.

Thanks to its peaceful setting yet proximity to essential services this property works perfectly as both a permanent residence and a second home.
