Full Description
Situated in one of the most panoramic and strategic positions in Val di Cecina, specifically in Montecatini Val di Cecina—just a few kilometers from Lajatico and the Teatro del Silenzio—we offer for sale a panoramic agricultural estate with a spectacular view of Volterra.
The heart of the property is an imposing stone farmhouse dating back to 1800, spanning approximately 850 sqm. On the first floor, the structure houses four residential apartments of various sizes for a total of 406 sqm, ideal for hosting guests or for being redesigned into a single noble floor. The ground floor, meanwhile, features large warehouses and historic cellars totaling a further 416 sqm—spaces ready to be converted into additional living areas.
The complex is further enriched by four independent buildings that complete the courtyard: a second 92 sqm residential building with a shed, a 9 sqm annex with a warehouse and wood-burning oven, and a large 152 sqm barn that represents an extraordinary opportunity for conversion into residential use. Completing the compound is a suggestive 30 sqm consecrated chapel with an 11 sqm loggia—an authentic architectural gem that bestows a rare exclusivity upon the site.
The property is surrounded by 1.6 hectares of private land. For those who wish, there is the possibility of expanding the estate by purchasing additional plots up to a maximum of 25 hectares (divided between arable land and olive groves) according to one's needs, with a consequent adjustment of the price.
The agricultural land, in addition to ensuring maximum privacy, hosts approximately 150 olive trees in full production registered under the prestigious Montescudaio DOC regulations, offering the possibility of producing a top-quality extra virgin olive oil.
STATE OF REPAIR
The property requires renovation work. The buildings are in their original state, preserving intact the typical materials of Tuscan tradition such as exposed stone and the original structures. The main farmhouse underwent a complete renovation in 1994, which preserved its structural integrity. The interiors offer a unique opportunity to customize the materials, finishes and layout of the spaces, allowing modern comfort to be combined with the conservative restoration of the existing historic features.
UTILITIES
The property is already perfectly equipped with infrastructure to support any type of development. It is served by the municipal water supply and has connection to the electricity grid. For sustainable resource management, there is a large underground cistern for collecting rainwater, ideal for irrigating the gardens. The agricultural land also benefits from CAP entitlements (Common Agricultural Policy).
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The exceptional volume of this property to be renovated offers extraordinary design versatility. The generous spaces are perfectly suited to the creation of a prestigious single- or multi-family residence, as well as an exclusive boutique hotel or a refined albergo diffuso.
