Ref. D/Cs3587 2 – Farmhouse For Sale

D/CS3587 – Exclusively, we present a farm near the village of Grilli in the municipality of Gavorrano, in the locality of Podere Cerretelle. The farm has two main agricultural productions, viticulture and olive cultivation. It extends over gentle hilly terrains suited for agricultural production of vines and olives, covering a total of 99 hectares, on predominantly sandy loam soils suitable for producing excellent wines. There are also about 10 hectares of forest, with Cork oaks, Oaks, Holm oaks, and Strawberry trees; during the rainiest seasons, one can also find excellent mushrooms. In the valley, there are several warehouses and an apartment, serving as an office, tool storage, and for phytosanitary products and fertilizers. At the top, in the center of the farm, there is a partially ruined farmhouse that overlooks a large part of the vineyards and olive groves, offering a splendid view of the estate and the surrounding lands. The farmhouse had been the subject of a study for a possible recovery plan. A lake and a pumping station for irrigation, not far from the central area of the farm, complete the property. The total land area is divided as follows: The viticultural area currently covers 27.50 hectares, with the following grape varieties: Sangiovese, Nielluccio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Vermentino, and Malbech. The olive cultivation area is approximately 39 hectares with 10,800 olive trees, registered with the IGP Tuscan oil consortium, with a traditional planting density of 6 x 5.50 meters, using a polyconic vase training system. The varieties are typical Tuscan ones: Frantoio, Pendolino, and Leccio del Corno in equal measure, with a small colony of Arbequina, a Spanish variety, and Koroneiki, a Greek variety, which are very productive and still fall within the 5% of the total allowed by the IGP Tuscan consortium. The first planted section of about 17 hectares has now reached maturity, and the plants have the potential for a consistent production of 5,000 to 8,000 kg per hectare.
The properties on the farm include: 1 apartment consisting of a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom of about 65 sqm, currently used as an office; 1 warehouse of about 400 sqm containing a workshop, changing rooms, and bathroom for workers, with the rest used for tractor storage; 1 warehouse of 230 sqm, half closed for storing fertilizers and various equipment, half as a shed; 1 warehouse of about 430 sqm used for storing materials for vineyard and olive grove maintenance; 1 open-sided shed of 420 sqm, also used for storing tractors and carts; 1 building of 50 sqm, consisting of 2 rooms, one for the pumping station; 1 partially ruined farmhouse on two floors with annexes, with recoverable volumes.
Within the property, there is an artificial lake with a surface area of 1.30 hectares and a capacity of 45,000 m3, which allows for fertigation, making fertilization much faster and more economical compared to ground or foliar methods. Additionally, in dry years, it provides assistance in saving productions, allowing olive trees to retain most of their fruits. Water can also help vineyards achieve better grape maturation.
