In the heart of the Upper Mugello, less than an hour from Florence, lies Il Forno, an extraordinary estate of approximately 130 hectares immersed in the pristine nature of the Tuscan Apennines. A rare property where history, privacy, and landscape merge, creating one of the most exclusive real estate opportunities currently available on the market.

Formerly belonging to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica in Rome, the estate retains an authentic charm and a landscape heritage of absolute value.

Situated at an altitude of approximately 700 meters, the property overlooks a natural setting of exceptional beauty, characterized by ancient forests, over 65 hectares of meadows and pastures, open panoramas, and a unique quality of light throughout the year. An ideal environment for those wishing to live in total privacy or develop a high-level real estate project.

One of the most precious elements of the estate is the presence of a natural mineral water spring, fed by a private aqueduct that reaches the property’s buildings, guaranteeing water autonomy and an extremely rare added value.

At the center of the estate stood the ancient main farmhouse of approximately 1,300 m², originally consisting of 15 rooms. Today, the property has an approved project for the reconstruction of the building in full respect of the original volume and architecture, offering the possibility of creating a prestigious private residence or a luxury hospitality facility.

The complex is completed by two additional rural buildings to be restored, of approximately 335 m² and 60 m² respectively, ideal as annexes, staff quarters, guest houses, or spaces dedicated to wellness.

Thanks to its unique characteristics, Il Forno represents a real estate investment of extraordinary value, perfect for the realization of:

- a prestigious private villa immersed in nature;
- a high-level boutique hotel;
- an exclusive relais or resort;
- a retreat dedicated to wellness, yoga, and spa;
- a prestigious agricultural estate with hospitality operations.
Among the most interesting project hypotheses is the creation of a luxury Boutique Hotel with approximately 40 rooms, a spa, a farm-to-table restaurant, and areas dedicated to yoga and wellness, perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape according to the principles of slow luxury and environmental sustainability.

The strategic position, the proximity to Florence and Bologna airport, the complete privacy, the vastness of the land, the presence of the natural spring, and the already approved project make this property a practically unrepeatable opportunity in the Tuscan real estate landscape.

Il Forno is much more than an estate: it is a historical and natural heritage intended for those seeking an exclusive investment in the heart of Tuscany, capable of combining elegance, authenticity, and extraordinary prospects for value appreciation.
