Enchanting Agricultural Estate To Be Renovated

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 offered as a complete package including the entire agricultural estate with approximately 25 hectares of arable land and olive groves; however, the land can be unbundled according to needs, with a subsequent price adjustment. 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.

CONDITION AND FINISHES

The property requires renovation. The buildings are in their original state, preserving intact the typical materials of the Tuscan tradition, such as “pietra viva” (exposed stone) and original structures. The main farmhouse benefited from a comprehensive structural renovation in 1994 which preserved its integrity. The interiors offer a unique opportunity to customize materials, finishes, and layout, allowing for the fusion of modern comfort with the conservative restoration of pre-existing historical elements.

SERVICES AND UTILITIES

The property is already fully infrastructure-ready to support any type of development. It is served by the municipal aqueduct for water supply and is connected to the electrical power grid. For sustainable resource management, there is a large underground cistern for rainwater collection, ideal for garden irrigation. The agricultural land also benefits from CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) entitlements.

USES AND POTENTIAL

The exceptional volume of this property to be renovated offers extraordinary design versatility. The vast spaces lend themselves perfectly to the creation of a prestigious single-family or multi-family representative residence, as well as the establishment of an exclusive boutique hotel or a refined ” scattered hotel.
