Farm estate 15 minutes from the sea, set in the open landscape of the Tuscan Maremma, with a private spring-fed lake

Twelve hectares of gently rolling hills, a stone farmhouse, olive trees and water from a private spring. The sea is approximately fifteen minutes away.

The property occupies a panoramic position in the Maremma countryside and is exceptionally easy to reach. The final stretch is a white gravel road lined with a succession of umbrella pines: a distinctly Tuscan entrance that leads all the way to the house.

The land is predominantly arable, with a portion of woodland and approximately 250 productive olive trees. The property is fenced and divided into separate areas. The terrain is gently undulating, with no significant steep sections and extensive usable areas.

The stone farmhouse currently measures approximately 120 sqm and requires complete restoration. Around it are agricultural outbuildings and additional structures totalling more than 200 sqm. These buildings deserve careful technical assessment, as they could have a significant impact on the future potential of the estate.

And then there is the water.

Within the property is a pond fed by a private natural spring. It is not merely a beautiful feature of the landscape: for an agricultural estate, it is a tangible resource and, in particular, makes it interesting to consider returning to one of the property’s former uses: livestock farming.

Horses or cattle could benefit from the available space, the natural shape of the land and the availability of water, all of which are well suited to a structured project. Electricity is already connected.

But limiting this property to agricultural use alone would mean seeing only part of its potential.

The existing buildings and the proximity to the sea also make it possible to consider, subject to the necessary planning and regulatory approvals, a hospitality project. Traditional accommodation could potentially be complemented by forms of hospitality permitted under current regulations, including glamping units or other solutions: among the olive trees, or along the edge of the lake, where the relationship with the landscape could become an integral part of the experience.

There is no need to create a setting: it is already here.

The farmhouse’s stonework, twelve contiguous hectares, the olive grove, woodland, water, agricultural buildings and a coastline just minutes away provide a rare foundation for developing very different concepts, from a private equestrian estate to an evolved agricultural enterprise, or even a rural hospitality business.

Above all, the property offers the opportunity to do so starting from a relatively contained initial investment, directing resources towards transforming the estate according to one’s own vision, rather than paying for work already carried out by someone else.
