The farmhouse has a surface area of 340 square metres (3,658 square feet), and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The spacious two-story building comprises two independent living units. One is occupied by the current owners, and the other is used for guest accommodations.
The larger master apartment (225 square metres – 2,421 square feet) spans most of the building. It includes an entrance hall, a large living and dining room, and a kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floor hosts a living room, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small storage room with independent access from outside.
The guest apartment, measuring 45 square metres (484 square feet), is situated on the ground floor and consists of a living room with a kitchenette, a bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a bathroom.
Both apartments have been renovated with meticulous attention to preserving the original character of the building, showcasing its stone walls, terracotta floors, and wooden beams.

Set in the 6,000-square-metre garden is the impressive 14 × 7 metre swimming pool, framed by a stone and grass solarium. A gravel driveway lined with cypress trees leads to the pool, and nearby, the remnants of a medieval tower, dating back to the year 1000, stand as a testament to the property’s historical significance.

The estate totals 8.5 hectares (21.0 acres) of land inc the garden, with 385 olive trees capable of producing high-quality Tuscan olive oil.
