Tenuta DI 18 Ettari Con Agriturismo In Vendita In Casentino, Toscana

In the heart of Casentino, at the foot of the Casentino Forests that guard the ancient Hermitage of Camaldoli, this property preserves a history deeply linked to the secular presence of the Camaldolese Monks, who for centuries played a key role in the religious, economic, and agricultural life of this territory.
The history of the property is part of the broader network of lands, farms, and agricultural structures that, over the centuries, belonged to the monastic community founded by St. Romuald at the beginning of the 11th century. The Camaldolese system developed not only around the Hermitage and the Monastery but also included an extensive rural estate to support the community’s life and organize the agricultural activities of the area.

The origin of the estate is intertwined with this ancient organization. The estate’s locations were originally owned by the monks and served a significant function along the old route of Casentino: it was a postal station for horse changes, located along the carriage road that crossed the countryside following the course of the Archiano river.
A crossing and connection point, therefore, between the agricultural world of the valley and the monastic one of the mountains, where the productive vocation and hospitality were already deeply connected.
Today, this ancient vocation lives on through the farm and agritourism activities, in a landscape of extraordinary authenticity where nature, agriculture, hospitality, and history still coexist harmoniously.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The accommodation activity is now hosted in a fully renovated building organized into three apartments, for a total of 11 authorized beds.
The building develops on three levels, with one apartment on each floor. Each unit has a kitchen, living room, and sleeping area. The ground floor apartment has one bedroom, while the apartments on the first and second floors each consist of two bedrooms.
The environments retain the typical character of Tuscan rural architecture and offer guests an immersive experience in a natural and historic context of particular value.

In the garden belonging to the farm, there is a small building that once housed the farm weight station, which has now been transformed into the activity’s reception.
The accommodation business could be further expanded through the recovery of another building located in the heart of the estate.
The location is particularly interesting: the building enjoys a wide and open view of the surrounding landscape, with glimpses reaching La Verna, and represents a potential opportunity to create new spaces for hospitality, catering, or complementary activities.
The recovery of this building would also strengthen the unitary character of the complex, further enhancing the relationship between rural architecture, landscape, and agricultural activity.

THE AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY
The farm spans approximately 18.3 hectares (45.2 acres) and is managed according to organic farming principles. The management of the agricultural and agritourism activities is handled by a specially established agricultural company.
Agricultural production is currently mainly focused on cereals, cultivated according to organic methods and destined, through supply agreements, for delivery to a cooperative that handles processing and marketing of the product, used for the production of pasta and other organic specialties.
The agricultural sector also presents interesting opportunities for development and diversification, through introducing new crops such as vegetable productions, which could naturally connect with the agritourism activity and the potential enhancement of the short supply chain.
Due to its location, terrain composition, and landscape features, the property also has a particular vocation for horse breeding and equestrian activities.
This possibility could be developed either as an independent activity or as a complementary element to the experience of agritourism guests, creating routes and activities related to horseback riding, nature walks, and exploration of the territory.
The property’s location, immersed in the Casentino landscape and at the same time easily accessible, indeed represents an element of particular interest for those seeking an authentic experience in contact with nature, with the possibility of directly reaching trails, woods, and rural paths.
