Description
In a panoramic position on the hills of Valdarno Aretino, bordering Chianti, 65.9 ha estate with rural hamlet, swimming pool, vineyard and olive grove for sale. The property (over 900 sq m in total) is in good condition and currently has 9 rooms distributed among the various buildings, very convenient for an accommodation business. Agricultural production (to be restarted) included oil and wine in its time.
The area is rich in olive groves and very renowned for both extra virgin olive oil and Chianti wine, true excellences of this splendid territory located in the center of the geographical triangle marked by Arezzo, Siena and Florence.
The town of Pergine, where the main services are located, is less than 2 km away by car. Florence International Airport can be reached in about an hour.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The villa (572 sqm – 6,154 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), located in the center of the hamlet, is a period building structured on two levels, with the living quarters carved out in the upper part.
- Ground floor: wine cellar, tasting area and service kitchen with original oven;
- First floor: large kitchen with fireplace, living room with fireplace, panoramic loggia (very suitable for dinners with friends), four bedrooms and two bathrooms
Located in the center of the hamlet, the villa is surrounded by the garden (2,200 sqm) where the 13 × 5 m swimming pool is located, from which there is a splendid panoramic view. Directly from the garden there is access to an outdoor bathroom with shower and sauna. Under an adjacent loggia is an area dedicated to fitness.
Casa Giulia (100 sqm – 1,076 sqft, 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom) is a characteristic stone building in the immediate vicinity of the villa, on three floors.
- Basement: cellar (very suitable as an area for aging wines);
- Ground floor: living room with loggia, bathroom, dining room with kitchen and veranda;
- First floor: two bedrooms.
Slightly detached and towards the valley, Casa Tiziana (81 sqm – 871 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) is a small building composed of large living room with fireplace, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and room made in the loft above the living room.
On the east side of the villa, Casa Giovanna (212 sqm – 2,281 sqft, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) is a building used partly as a dwelling and partly as a tool and vehicle shed. In the agricultural portion the owner has made a small personal atelier where he cultivates his passion for painting, but this room could easily be converted into a recreational area for guests. The actual dwelling consists of living/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.
EXTERIOR
The land that is part of this property compendium has an extension of about 65.9 hectares (162.8 acres) distributed in a single body that, like a casket, protects the small hamlet in the center.
The land is mainly wooded (56.8 ha), but the plots closest to the buildings are cultivated with olive groves (about 800 olive trees) and vineyards (about 4.3 ha), partly arranged in terraces so as to make the most of the available surfaces.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The large extension of the property between olive groves, vineyards and oak woods gives the hamlet a lot of tranquility. The buildings could be used as a private home or intended (at least in part) for tourist accommodation. The farm status would allow the activity to be set up as an Agriturismo with all the tax advantages that would come with it. The agricultural activity is partly to be restarted but, given the vocation for quality production, could yield great rewards.
