21 Ha Estate For Sale In Pontassieve, Just One Hour From Florence

On the hills of Pontassieve, less than an hour from Florence and in a panoramic position, agricultural estate with three farm complexes for sale. The property is in need of major renovation and enhancement works but offers great development possibilities, especially from a tourist-receptive point of view thanks to the presence of several buildings with various independent housing units.
For daily needs, it is enough to reach the village of Rufina where supermarkets, schools and secondary services are available. In about an hour you can also reach Florence and from there then use the A1 highway to move throughout Italy. Just 5’ from the estate is a train station that connects the Val di Sieve to the city of Florence, with frequent trains especially during rush hour, and with a travel time of about 45’.
