Farmhouse Fixer for Sale near Bibbiena, Tuscany with Land and Building Plot

This farmhouse fixer for sale near Bibbiena in Tuscany comprises a traditional stone and brick farmhouse, agricultural outbuildings, approximately 2.6 hectares of land and an area with residential building potential. The property occupies an elevated panoramic position in the Casentino area of Arezzo province, with everyday services approximately 400 metres away and the historic centre of Bibbiena close by.

Old Tuscan maps record the estate as Podere del Apparita, dating back to 1710. Its name relates to the open views from this hillside position across the surrounding countryside and valley. The property combines a historic Tuscan farmhouse, agricultural land, existing ancillary buildings, and the potential for additional residential development, subject to current planning regulations and the necessary approvals.

The main farmhouse provides approximately 358 square metres (3,852 sq ft) of interior space across three levels: semi-basement, ground floor, and first floor. The building retains traditional architectural details including stone and brick walls, wooden beams, terracotta floors, a fireplace and a small dovecote tower.

The property has approximately 15 rooms, with the existing layout offering the potential for at least seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms following restoration and reorganisation. The farmhouse requires complete renovation, including new heating and utility installations. Mains water is available, while electricity, gas and telephone services need to be connected. Internet connection is considered possible.

Alongside the farmhouse are an agricultural building and a canopy structure. Subject to applicable regulations and planning consent, there may be scope to change the use of agricultural buildings to residential accommodation. This makes the estate relevant to buyers looking for a Tuscan farmhouse fixer upper with several possible restoration configurations rather than a single finished-home layout.

An additional part of the property has residential building potential. Current local planning provisions indicate the possibility of constructing a new residential unit with a maximum volume of approximately 600 cubic metres, subject to planning approval, a maximum of two floors above ground, a maximum height of 6.5 metres and compliance with local architectural and environmental requirements.

The estate includes approximately 2.6 hectares (6.4 acres) of agricultural land, recorded as arable land with trees and designated under current planning instruments as peri-urban agricultural land. Historic agricultural terraces remain part of the landscape. Depending on the owner’s status and the proposed use, certain additional agricultural buildings may also be permitted, excluding stables and subject to relevant regulations.

This is therefore more than a straightforward farmhouse for renovation in Tuscany. The combination of an existing historic farmhouse, agricultural outbuildings, land, and a separate potential residential building plot offers several ways to organise the property, subject in every case to planning consent and professional verification.

Access is particularly straightforward for a rural restoration property, with paved road access directly to the estate. Bibbiena provides shops, restaurants and essential services, while Poppi and Soci are around 8 km away. Arezzo is approximately 31 km, Florence 63 km and Cortona 59 km from the property.

Florence Airport is approximately 68 km away, while Perugia, Bologna and Pisa airports provide further international connections. The location gives buyers access to the Casentino countryside while remaining within practical driving distance of Florence and Arezzo.

For buyers searching for an Arezzo farmhouse for sale, a renovation project in Tuscany, a farmhouse with building plot or rural property near Bibbiena, Podere del Apparita offers an unusual combination of historic buildings, agricultural land, panoramic views and potential future development.
