Tuscan Wine Estate for Sale with 380 Hectares and Development Potential
This development property in Tuscany is a substantial wine and agricultural estate near Montescudaio in the province of Pisa. The property covers 380.4 hectares, equivalent to approximately 940 acres, and includes 56 hectares of vineyards, a 3.1-hectare olive grove, 23.2 hectares of arable land, extensive woodland, a private lake and approximately 6,798 square metres of buildings requiring restoration.
The estate is positioned between the Val di Cecina countryside and the Tuscan coast, approximately 10 kilometres from Cecina, 18 kilometres from Bolgheri and 30 kilometres from Volterra. Pisa International Airport is about one hour away. The paved access, proximity to established wine-producing areas and large continuous landholding make the property suitable for a long-term wine, agricultural and hospitality development project.
The land extends for approximately five kilometres and borders four municipalities. Of the total estate, around 296.3 hectares are mixed woodland, providing privacy, biodiversity and possible scope for environmental, recreational or managed reserve uses, subject to the necessary permissions. The woodland also creates a substantial buffer around the vineyards, buildings and agricultural land.
The existing vineyards cover approximately 56 hectares and include established and more recently planted areas. Grape varieties include Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate currently produces IGT wine and has potential production capacity of up to 5,000 hectolitres, or approximately 650,000 bottles, per year following the restoration and modernisation of the winery.
A further 23.2 hectares of arable land may offer scope for expanding the vineyards or introducing other crops suited to the coastal Tuscan climate.
The estate also contains a 3.1-hectare olive grove and an artificial lake supplied by natural springs. The lake provides an important water resource for irrigation while also contributing to the landscape and environmental management of the property. Mains water and electricity are already connected, and the property also has natural gas and internet access.
At the centre of the estate is a 637-square-metre manor villa overlooking the vineyards and olive groves. The building retains its traditional stone and brick construction, wooden beams, terracotta floors and panoramic terraces but requires complete restoration.
The villa currently provides six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The ground floor contains a large living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. On the first floor, one wing has two en-suite bedrooms and an independent terrace. The other wing contains a suite with a bedroom, living room, bathroom and access to the tower terrace.
A duplex apartment at the rear of the villa provides a further two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an independent terrace. The internal arrangement could be adapted during renovation, including the possible division of the upper floor into separate accommodation units.
The rural hamlet provides approximately 5,573 square metres of additional buildings. These include two farmhouses, agricultural warehouses, a restaurant, a company shop, caretaker’s accommodation, rooms previously intended for museum or cultural uses and historic vaulted wine cellars.
The hamlet currently has layouts capable of providing up to 17 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms. Together with the villa and separate farmhouse, the wider estate could provide up to 27 bedrooms and 26 bathrooms, depending on the final restoration and approved development plans.
The historic cellars are built with stone vaults and form an important part of the proposed wine and hospitality project. They require structural recovery, new equipment and modern winemaking installations. During the restoration period, wine production could potentially be managed through an external winery.
A separate 368-square-metre farmhouse stands in a private position away from the manor villa. It currently provides space for four bedrooms and two bathrooms and could be restored as additional guest accommodation, staff housing or an independent residence.
Three further rural annexes provide approximately 220 square metres. These buildings may have potential for residential or hospitality-related use, subject to planning permission, change-of-use approval and compliance with local building regulations.
The estate has strong potential as a Tuscan wine estate, agritourism business, hospitality resort, private rural estate or combined agricultural and cultural destination. The existing restaurant, shop, cellars, residential buildings and large landholding could support a phased development rather than requiring the entire project to be completed at one time.
The property is approximately two kilometres from Montescudaio and within convenient driving distance of Casale Marittimo, Bibbona, Castagneto Carducci and the Bolgheri wine area. The beaches and services around Cecina are approximately 15 minutes away, while Pisa, Livorno, San Gimignano, Siena, Florence and Lucca can all be reached by road.
