Full Description


Collection of stone farm buildings to restore, with extensive land, in the heart of Tuscany within easy driving distance of Siena.

Three stone buildings set around a central courtyard to restore (a total of 590 sqm), in a wonderful setting with land and views in a great location close to all the main centres of importance in Tuscany. This is a rare opportunity to undertake a total restoration project to produce a fantastic home or business opportunity. The access is good and the land covers 1.8 hectares (over 4 acres). There are beautiful Tuscan views over the countryside. Electricity is on site, but not currently connected. Water is from a private spring on the land. Drainage is with septic tank.

Casale La Corte is located between the provinces of Pisa and Siena. The closest towns are Castelnuovo Val di Cecina (8 km) and Radicondoli (20 km). The medieval town of Radicondoli sits on high ground and dominates the surrounding hills of the Sienese countryside. In the past, wool-working was one of the principal activities in Radicondoli. Probably introduced by neighbouring Volterra, the industry began on a domestic scale with the aim of obtaining 'clothes wool' for common use, and it developed as a result of the growth of Belforte and Radicondoli itself, which in the 14th century became important to the Sienese state as centres of textile production. Evidence of this era remains in the buildings of the town, where some houses have two entrances, one that led into the living quarters and one that led out to the market.

Within 25 minutes, you can reach the famous medieval towns of Volterra and San Gimignano with their shops, art galleries and profusion of restaurants. Further afield, the Chianti region and the famous Black Cock wine route are all within 40 minutes to an hour of Radicondoli. Siena is a 40 minute drive, and you can reach central Florence in an hour.
