Hilltop Casale to renovate, Castiglione d’Orcia – Tuscany
Exclusive sale of a panoramic farmhouse for restoration in Val d’Orcia: opportunity in Tuscany’s most iconic landscape, to be tailored. An exceptional investment with endless potential, whether as a boutique hospitality venture or a heritage home. Perched atop a gentle hill in the very heart of the UNESCO-listed Val d’Orcia, this traditional Tuscan farmhouse offers an extraordinary canvas for a bespoke restoration project. With sweeping 360-degree views across golden fields, sculpted hills and cypress-lined ridges, the setting is nothing short of cinematic. As dusk falls, the surrounding hilltop villages light up like nativity scenes, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and magical. Accessed via a classic, impeccably maintained white road, the property forms part of a charming rural hamlet once belonging to a historic farm estate. The casale, dating back to the early 20th century, retains the quintessential features of Tuscan vernacular architecture—stone facades, a pitched terracotta roof, high beamed ceilings, hand-made terracotta floors, and even an original wood-fired oven. Offering approximately 206 square meters of internal space across two levels, the building invites a tailored restoration for either a refined single residence or two separate units. The surrounding land lends itself beautifully to the addition of panoramic outdoor living spaces, including a Mediterranean garden and an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Val d’Orcia’s rolling hills. Included in the sale are 13.6 hectares of land, predominantly arable and pasture, providing ample room for a boutique agricultural project, equestrian pursuits, or simply to ensure privacy and a deep connection with nature. Despite its secluded and peaceful location, the property is strategically positioned near Tuscany’s most sought-after destinations: Pienza, Montalcino, San Quirico d’Orcia, and the renowned thermal village of Bagno Vignoni are all within easy reach. It represents a rare balance between tranquility and accessibility, perfectly poised for those seeking both retreat and cultural engagement.
