Tuscan Vineyard and Holiday Accommodation Estate
On the hills of Arezzo, in a private and panoramic position, is this wine estate of 179.9 hectares for sale. The property includes several buildings (over 1,300 sqm) that include guest apartments and the wine cellar, as well as warehouses and a farmhouse to be renovated. The vineyard (18.0 ha) is worked with organic methods and produces about 50,000 bottles of wine a year.
Basic services are available in the nearby town (10’ by car) while for everything else you just need to reach Arezzo (13km; 20’) where you can find shopping centres, restaurants and the referral hospital. The location of the property is also very convenient to reach the junction of the A1 highway that ensures a quick connection with Florence and, by extension, with many of the most famous art cities of Tuscany (Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Pisa…).
The main body of the property consists of two buildings that house the Agriturismo apartments, the wine-making cellar and various storage rooms for storing products and sheltering equipment.
Building A (590 sqm – 6,348 sqft, 11 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) forms the heart of the agritourism and houses four independent apartments as well as various rooms for storage.
– Apt. N°1: dining room, living room, kitchen, offices, five bedrooms and three bathrooms;
– Apt. N°2: living room with kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom;
– Apt. N°3: living room with open kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms;
– Apt. N°4: living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms and bathroom.
Building B (420 sqm – 4,519 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), on the other hand, houses the wine-making cellar on two floors (ground and basement, equipped and fully operational) plus three apartments on the upper floor.
– Apt. N°5: entrance hall, living room with open kitchen and loft, bedroom and bathroom;
– Apt. N°6: living room with open kitchen and loft, bedroom and bathroom;
– Apt. N°7: living room with open kitchen and loft, bedroom and bathroom.
A few steps from the two buildings are then two agricultural warehouses (89 sqm – 958 sqft) used as a shelter for tools and vehicles.
Part of the main building is also the 10 × 5 m swimming pool placed on a terrace paved in terracotta tiles from which one can admire the surrounding countryside.
Slightly downstream from the farm centre is a farmhouse (175 sqm – 1,883 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), entirely to be renovated. On the ground floor of the farmhouse is the living area made up of a spacious living room, dining room with kitchen and laundry/cellar; on the upper floor is the sleeping area made up of a sitting area, three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The dependence (60 sqm – 646 sqft, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), set just beside the farmhouse, is on a single floor and made up of a living room, dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The farm stretches for about 179.9 hectares (444.5 acres), covered for the most part by woods (140.8 ha) that surround the cultivated fields and guarantee the absence of contamination from nearby properties, ensuring full compliance with organic regulations (certification the farm has had since 1994). A small private pond allows irrigating the fields.
The backbone of the estate is the vineyard (about 18.0 ha). The main variety is Sangiovese (almost 70% of the total vines), but over the years the winery has recovered a now-forgotten grape that was reinstated in 2017 in the list of native Tuscan grape varieties. A small Merlot vineyard (about 1.0 ha) is programmed for grafting with Sangiovese vines. Annual production is currently about 50,000 bottles of wine, taking into account, however, that part of the Sangiovese vineyard (about 3.0 ha) will not enter full production until 2025/2026.
– Chianti DOCG: 100% Sangiovese
– Toscana Rosso IGT: Sangiovese 50%, native variety 50%.
– Toscana Rosso IGT: native variety 100%.
The olive grove (1,600 trees of Moraiolo, Leccino and Frantoio varieties) allows the production of about 2,000 kg of excellent extra virgin olive oil per year.
The arable land (about 10.6 ha) is largely covered by woods with timber plants (alders, hazelnuts and cherries). It might be more profitable to clear this land to plant new vineyards.
