Tuscan Farm with villa, land, olive grove, vineyard for sale
This stunning 201-hectare Tuscan farm estate is a wine lover’s dream come true. Nestled on the hills between Pisa and Florence, not far from the charming town of San Miniato. The property includes Chianti DOCG and IGT vineyards (19.9 ha) and a vast olive grove (3,000 trees) that produce up to 197,000 bottles of wine and 3,200 kg of oil per year, respectively.
This extraordinary property features a splendid 16th-century manor house villa with various service houses, surrounded by a private park of 5,000 sqm with centuries-old pines and cypresses. The villa’s interiors are the epitome of Tuscan style, with large bright rooms characterized by high ceilings, original terracotta floors, stone fireplaces, and wooden beams. On the ground floor are the entrance hall, various sitting and dining areas, the kitchen and a bedroom with private bathroom. Going up to the first floor, one reaches a large living room and a hallway. From here one has then access to five bedrooms, located at the corners of the building, and three bathrooms. The top floor is occupied entirely by attics, partially habitable and practicable, suitable for creating recreational and/or relaxation spaces.
In addition to the elegant villa, two guesthouses (renovated in 2009 and 2015 respectively) are habitable and in excellent condition. Adjacent to the villa is a two-storey building partly to be restored, which houses various garages/workshops on the ground floor and two apartments on the first floor. The wine cellar is equipped with stainless steel vats, oak barrels, barriques for ageing, a wine-making plant with refrigeration, and warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity. Offices and a large Tuscan-style tasting room with a panoramic terrace complement the cellar.
The property includes four ruined farmhouses that can be restored/rebuilt to set up a holiday accommodation business on the estate. An Agricultural Environmental Improvement Plan (PMAA) has already been approved for the recovery and conversion of these buildings into an Agriturismo.
Permits have also been obtained for the construction of a new, large shed for agricultural equipment that would facilitate the storage of tractors and the working of the vineyards.
The villa stands on the site of a fortified castle in the Middle Ages and is rich in history and character. The latest renovation works were completed in 2015, and the property is in good condition. The villa and two of the outbuildings are in excellent condition and already habitable, while the farmhouses scattered around the estate require complete renovation and restoration of the structures.
The property is ideally located for those seeking an authentic Tuscan experience, with easy access to historic and renowned cities such as Pisa, Lucca, and Florence. The airports of Florence and Pisa are also conveniently located within an hour’s drive.
The farm, located in the hills between Florence and Pisa, covers a total surface area of 201.2 hectares (497.2 acres). Large portions of the farm are covered with arable land (90.7 ha partially uncultivated), in the past planted with durum wheat, soft wheat and rape (with excellent results): these areas could easily be repurposed into new vineyards. Alongside the arable land, pasture land (20.5 ha) is currently cultivated with alfalfa (there is a free loan contract that can be terminated with 4 months’ notice). A private lake provides water for irrigation.
Next, in order of size, we find woodland (60.1 ha) with tall trees of valuable species, including holm oaks and downy oaks: these trees are typical of the area and favour the presence of both white and black truffles.
The upper part of the estate, where the villa is located, is subject to a hunting ban, which ensures peace and quiet even during the hunting season.
The backbone of the estate is undoubtedly the vineyards (19.9 ha), registered as Chianti DOCG and Toscana IGT, which produce up to 197,000 bottles of wine per year. Currently, the company sells grapes to third parties who then take care of winemaking.
