Hunting Estate, Vineyard, Olives, Truffles, Home and Income
Between Florence and Pisa in Tuscany, is where you’ll find this sprawling estate that spans 101.9 hectares.
There are ten guest apartments, the owners’ home and farm storage, and two abandoned farmhouses, which need renovation.
There is a 4.5-hectare (11 acres) IGT winery, a 480-tree olive grove, and a big truffle forest on the property.
The majority of the farm is contained within a designated hunting area.
A village with services is only a short distance away (2 km; 5 minutes), while the heart of Castelfiorentino is about 16 km; 20 minutes away by car and towns and cities such as Volterra, Pisa, Monteriggioni, Florence, Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano… can be reached in 2 hours or less.
The property’s core comprises of three buildings that mostly accommodate ten guest apartments with a surface area of 700 sqm – 7,532 sqft with 19 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
Adjacent to the accommodation business is the owners’ residence with a surface area of 240 sqm – 2,582 sqft and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) with a big living area with an open kitchen and dining area on the ground floor, and three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor. The land also has 380 square metres (4,089 square feet) of agricultural warehouses and storage spaces.
All of the buildings on this part of the estate date from the second half of the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century and have been renovated in recent years with the intention of preserving their original rural appearance. The properties are in fantastic condition because the current owners have consistently maintained them. The driveway is lined in Tuscan style with cypress trees.
In close proximity to the farmhouses, in a somewhat raised location, is a 15 x7.5 m swimming pool surrounded by a paved sunbathing area and a hedged garden. The carport is then located across from the pool.
On the estate’s hills, further from the main hamlet, there are two poderi (farmhouses) to be rebuilt. Podere A (360 square metres; 3,874 square feet), situated on the highest point of the estate, is now a ruin, with just the foundations of the structures remaining. However, documentation from several years ago depicts the building’s general look, allowing for a reasonably realistic restoration.
Podere B (550 sqm) is located in the valley, at the edge of the forest. The perimeter walls and some of the interior partitions of this building are still intact, thus it is still feasible to recreate the structure in its original state.
The vast majority of the property’s 101,9 hectares (251.8 acres) are located within a wildlife hunting reserve (over 95.0 ha).
The trees that encircle the buildings give excellent seclusion and also a truffle ground where the coveted white truffles of San Miniato are found (the farm is also part of the local Truffle Consortium).
The 4.5-hectare vineyard has Trebbiano, Malvasia, Sangiovese, Ancellotta, and Ciliegiolo grape varieties; part of the harvest is sold as grapes and part is utilised to produce white and red IGT wines.
On the other hand, the olive grove (approximately 480 trees on 1.1 hectares of land) is utilised directly for the manufacture of premium extra virgin olive oil.
This Tuscan estate offers an excellent home and income opportunity.
