Within Tuscany’s rural heritage, time has rendered rare those estates that have preserved their original unity.

The earliest documentary evidence of this place dates back to 1140, when a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II placed the properties of the Abbey of San Salvatore di Giugnano under papal protection, listing this settlement among the castles subject to its jurisdiction. The original document is preserved in the State Archives of Siena, Diplomatic Collection.

Over the centuries, most Tuscan rural villages were progressively divided, losing the continuity that had defined their character. This estate, by contrast, has preserved its unity: a single, uninterrupted ownership for almost nine centuries.

The Estate

Approximately 1,100 sqm of built area set within 19 hectares of privately owned agricultural land. Comprising eight independent residential units, the estate retains a structure suited to a variety of uses — from a private residence to a high-end hospitality project.

The property includes a substantial olive grove still in production, bearing witness to an agricultural vocation that remains very much alive, as well as the principal infrastructure already in place: connection to the municipal water network, electricity and essential utilities.

Current planning regulations also permit the construction of a swimming pool, offering further scope for enhancement while respecting the historical and landscape context.

To acquire a property such as this is to assume responsibility for a place that has traversed almost nine centuries of history while preserving its identity.

Some properties gain value over time. Others preserve it. This belongs to a different category: its value increases because what it represents cannot be recreated.
