The property dates back to the 15th century, originally it was a watch tower and over the years other buildings have been added. The current owner bought the hamlet in 2012, which was renovated following the principles of renewable energy, recycling of water, biomass heating and bio-construction.

The property includes a saltwater swimming pool (5×12 m) and it is surrounded by 39 hectares (or 96.33 acres) of land, of which 25 ha of woodland, 9 ha of arable and grazing , 2 ha of olive grove, 1 ha of vineyard, and 1 ha of vegetable gardens and fruit orchard.
In the farm there are various animals like horses, pigs, chickens, geese and goats; the flora consists of oak trees, juniper trees, chestnut trees, brooms, dog roses, berries and mushrooms. The current owners have planted thousands of fruit trees and hedges.

The location of the property at the Tuscany Umbrian border, two of the most beautiful regions of Italy and the excellent size of the buildings would also allow renting out portions of the property as stand alone units for short-term visitors, with an estimated return on investment of 3% a year.
Alternatively, it is also possible to become co-owner of the property, buying only part of the estate and sharing the outdoor spaces with current owners.
