141 Ha Estate With Vineyards And Farmhouses To Be Restored For Sale In Tuscany

In the Chianti hills, between Certaldo and Gambassi Terme, 141.6-ha estate with vineyard and buildings to be renovated for sale. The buildings (over 2,400 m² in total) include two rustic farmhouses, the wine cellar and various rural outbuildings and could be an excellent starting point for an accommodation business. The 40.1-ha vineyard could produce up to 640,000 bottles of wine a year.
The property is located just 500 m from the paved road and is reached via a short stretch of unpaved road in good condition. Basic services are available in both Certaldo and Gambassi (both less than 10’ drive away), while the art cities of Tuscany are all less than two hours’ drive away.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The hamlet is the heart of the property: here are a large rustic farmhouse (798 m² – 8,586 ft²) that has been partially renovated, a guesthouse (138 m² – 1,485 ft² to be renovated), the wine cellar (164 m² – 1,765 ft²) with adjoining storage room (50 m² – 538 ft²), and a shed for vehicles and tools (201 m² – 2,163 ft²).

Outside the farm center, but not far from it, are then a second farmhouse (693 m² – 7,457 ft², entirely to be renovated) and two vehicle sheds (497 m² – 5,347 ft²).

EXTERIOR
The estate in its entirety covers about 141.6 hectares (349.9 acres) in a hilly position. The most important crop is definitely the vineyard (40.1 ha) divided between Chianti DOCG and Toscana IGT (both red and white). This is followed by an olive grove (about 4.0 ha with a total of 1,200 trees already in full production) and large portions of arable land (45.5 ha) with excellent exposure that could easily be used for planting new vines and/or olive trees. The rest of the estate is covered by woods and uncultivated land.
Also within the property is an artificial pond (about 1.0 ha in size) that allows for easy irrigation of crops when needed.
