Large Historic Villa in Tuscany near Arezzo with Outbuildings

This historic villa in Tuscany sits in the hills outside Arezzo, with approximately 1,542 m² (16,592 sq ft) of interior space, a private garden of 6,800 m² (1.7 acres), several outbuildings, and considerable scope for renovation and redevelopment. The property is habitable and sits in a panoramic position about 10 km from Arezzo, while everyday services are about 3 km away.

The estate combines the scale and architecture of a large Tuscan villa with additional buildings that could be incorporated into a wider residential or hospitality project, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property currently has 36 rooms, seven bedrooms with the possibility of creating an eighth, six bathrooms, a separate farmhouse, an agricultural building and a smaller annex.

The principal villa retains many characteristics of historic Tuscan residences, including stone and brick construction, exposed wooden beams, terracotta and parquet floors, reception rooms, high ceilings, historic cellars, a decorated stone fireplace, and a tower.

The entrance level includes several large rooms with ceiling heights of up to 3.10 metres. This floor also contains the old cellars and former hayloft together with a private chapel, boiler room and laundry. The size and layout of these areas allow uses such as a private wine cellar, tasting room, wellness area, club room, or additional accommodation as part of a future restoration project.

A substantial staircase leads to the principal reception floor, where ceiling heights reach approximately 4.60 metres. This level includes a large kitchen, dining room, reading room, study and an extensive reception hall with direct access to the garden.

The private accommodation on this floor currently comprises two to three large bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and three bathrooms. The room proportions, large windows, and direct relationship with the surrounding garden underline the formal character of this part of the house.

The upper residential level is divided into two independent apartments. The first has a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The second has a sitting room overlooking the grounds, an attic area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. These could remain as separate accommodation for family, guests or staff, or potentially be combined into one larger residential floor.

Above this level is the villa’s historic tower, reached by a substantial wooden staircase. The large attic room retains exposed wooden construction and could be adapted as a study, library, additional bedroom, guest room or storage area.

Opposite the main villa is a detached farmhouse of approximately 157 m² (1,689 sq ft) requiring renovation. Its position away from the principal residence makes it suitable for conversion into guest accommodation, a separate residence or other complementary use, subject to approval.

A further annex of approximately 34 m² (366 sq ft) could support future recreational or garden uses. The property also includes a substantial agricultural building of approximately 658 m² (7,080 sq ft). Subject to planning permission and any required change of use, this building provides additional potential for accommodation, hospitality rooms, event areas, wellness facilities or other services connected with the wider estate.

The villa is surrounded by approximately 6,800 m² of private grounds and garden.

The property already has mains electricity, mains water and natural gas, with radiator heating. Internet connection is possible. Access is via approximately 700 metres of unpaved road.
