Organic Farm in Tuscany for Sale with Vineyard, Olive Grove and Guesthouse
This organic farm in Tuscany is located near Subbiano, between the Arno Valley and the Casentino area of the province of Arezzo. The property includes approximately 14.4 hectares (35.6 acres) of certified organic agricultural land, a large Tuscan farmhouse requiring restoration, a renovated guesthouse divided into two independent apartments, vineyards, olive groves, arable land, woodland and specialised crops.
The estate occupies an open, sunny and predominantly south-facing hillside position. Access is straightforward via a paved road, while Subbiano is approximately 6 km away and the historic city of Arezzo can be reached in about 25 minutes. The farm is already operating as an agricultural business, although it is not currently used for tourist accommodation.
Agricultural production is based on certified organic methods. The land includes approximately 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Grechetto and Malvasia. The grapes are currently sold to local wine producers rather than processed on the estate.
There is also approximately 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of olive groves, distributed across several parts of the farm, together with a 2,800-square-metre hazelnut grove and a 4,900-square-metre bamboo plantation used for producing solid biomass fuel. Approximately 3.4 hectares of arable land are used for saffron, iris and animal forage. Around 6.9 hectares of mixed woodland form much of the property boundary.
A stream runs along the edge of the farm and can be reached easily from the main buildings. Gardens surround the farmhouse and guesthouse, providing space for outdoor living, agricultural support areas and the possible construction of a swimming pool, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The main farmhouse measures approximately 500 square metres (5,380 square feet). Built in traditional Tuscan stone and brick, it requires complete restoration. Its size and layout provide scope for a substantial private residence, an agricultural headquarters or a rural accommodation business connected to the farm’s organic production.
A previous renovation proposal planned five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The ground floor layout included a large kitchen, living room with veranda, dining room, private office, guest bathroom and two changing rooms with bathrooms intended to serve a possible swimming pool. The proposed first floor included five large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, with one bedroom also having a private walk-in wardrobe.
The farmhouse layout is based on an earlier project and may be revised to meet the buyer’s requirements, subject to local planning, building and agricultural regulations.
The renovated guesthouse measures approximately 90 square metres (968 square feet) and is arranged over two floors. It has been divided into two independent apartments, each containing a living area with kitchenette, one bedroom and one bathroom. These units could provide immediate owner accommodation, staff housing or guest accommodation while work on the main farmhouse is completed.
A separate technical room of approximately 15 square metres (161 square feet) stands next to the guesthouse. The total internal area of all buildings is approximately 605 square metres (6,509 square feet).
The property already has an electricity connection and mains water. Heating is provided by radiators and a fireplace, while an LPG system would need to be installed. Telephone and internet connections can be arranged. The recorded energy performance rating is Class A1, with EPgl,nren of 104.67 kWh/m² per year.
This Tuscan farm with vineyard, olive grove and restored guest accommodation may suit buyers seeking an operational organic agricultural estate, a farmhouse restoration project or a combined residential and rural tourism property. Any change of use, hospitality development, swimming pool construction or alteration to the previous renovation proposal would remain subject to the appropriate approvals.
Subbiano, Capolona and Arezzo provide everyday services, shops, restaurants, schools and transport connections. Other accessible destinations include Anghiari, Bibbiena, Poppi, Sansepolcro and Cortona. Florence and Perugia are both approximately 1 hour 20–25 minutes away, while Florence Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes from the property.
FAQ
Is the organic farm currently operating?
Yes. The agricultural land is currently managed using certified organic methods. Production includes grapes, olives, saffron, iris, hazelnuts, bamboo and animal forage. The grapes are sold to local wine producers.
Is the main farmhouse habitable?
The main farmhouse requires complete restoration and should not be considered ready for occupation. A previous project proposed five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, but the final layout can be reconsidered subject to the relevant approvals.
Is there accommodation available during the farmhouse restoration?
Yes. The renovated 90-square-metre guesthouse contains two independent one-bedroom apartments. Each apartment has a living area with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.
Could the property become an agriturismo?
The farmhouse, guest apartments and agricultural production may provide a basis for an agriturismo or rural accommodation project. The property is not currently operated as a hospitality business, and any new use would require confirmation of planning, agricultural and licensing requirements.
Can a swimming pool be added?
There is no swimming pool at present. The previous farmhouse proposal included changing rooms intended to serve a future pool. Construction may be possible, subject to planning permission, landscape restrictions and other local approvals.
