Full Description
Nestled in a secluded valley, at the foot of the majestic Rocca di Pierle, stands a hamlet of very ancient origins which, as early as the 18th century, offered shelter and refreshment to travelers journeying along the valley.
The entire complex, with a total surface area of approximately 2,200 mq, partly restored and partly to be brought back to its former splendor, includes the main villa, the old Tabaccaia, the farmhouse, and several partially collapsed units.
Passing through the entrance of the borgo, one is welcomed by the main villa, arranged over three levels.
The ground floor features a kitchen, a living room enhanced by an ancient stone fireplace, and various ancillary rooms, while the first and second floors host a generous sleeping area and two attic rooms. Adjacent to the habitable section, large volumes still to be reorganized offer the opportunity to create exclusive suites with private bathrooms or independent guest apartments, with surfaces ranging from 80 to 150 mq, ideal for high-end hospitality.
The old Tabaccaia, finely restored in full respect of tradition, houses three elegant apartments, each featuring a living area with fireplace, kitchenette, and two spacious double bedrooms.
In a secluded position, along one of the internal roads of the borgo, stands a farmhouse of approximately 300 mq, completely in need of renovation. This building represents a unique opportunity for the creation of a second panoramic swimming pool or a new wellness area, immersed in absolute tranquility.
There are also a ruin and a dilapidated farmhouse, located respectively to the east and northwest of the borgo.
Completing the property are a spectacular 6 x 12 meter infinity pool and approximately 42 hectares of land, an authentic rural kingdom composed of vineyards, olive groves, and centuries-old woodlands.
STATE OF REPAIR
The hamlet is entirely built of natural stone and preserves the features of prestigious ancient rural residences: antique terracotta floors, stone vaulted ceilings, and wooden window and door frames. Every detail conveys a sense of understated, authentic elegance, where agricultural tradition blends with a stately, harmonious, and refined style. The apartments that have already been renovated underwent a conservative restoration in 2005, faithful to classic Tuscan style.
UTILITIES
The property is equipped with all utilities. A 12 kW photovoltaic system is installed. Heating is provided by an LPG system, while the water supply comes from a private well.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
This hamlet represents an extraordinary opportunity for the creation of a luxury resort, a high-end hospitality property with a wine-producing estate, or a boutique hotel with SPA, tennis courts, nature trails, and exclusive services dedicated to the most discerning guests.
A rare place, where history becomes value and the future is built upon the elegance of the past.
