Stone farmhouse and agritourism, Castiglione d'Orcia, Siena, Toscana
Agricultural estate and exclusive eco-sustainable retreat with 1,230 olive trees, a vineyard, and panoramic views for sale in Val d'Orcia. Nestled in the magnificent Val d'Orcia, on the western hillside of Castiglione d'Orcia facing the Grosseto area, this extraordinary estate dominates the river valley below, offering an unparalleled view of the ancient Ripa d'Orcia castle. Accessible via a 2 km road, of which 1.5 km is paved and 500 meters is unpaved, the residence is a true oasis of peace with excellent double exposure to natural light. The property is divided into two main complexes situated on productive agricultural land embellished with olive trees, a vineyard, fruit trees, prickly pears, aromatic plants, and flowers. The main farmhouse features a functional layout. On the ground floor, a welcoming loggia leads to the entrance, followed by a kitchen, a spacious living room, and a shower room. On the opposite side lies a second wing, consisting of an additional loggia, a bright open-plan kitchen and living area, another shower room, and a storage room. Moving up to the first floor, the two residential units each feature three bedrooms and one bathroom. Finally, the basement houses a traditional cellar. Adjacent to the country house is the ruin of the former stables, a space with great potential, ideal for restoration as an exclusive guest house. Not far away stands the building used as an agriturismo, an enchanting local stone building with original flooring. Developed entirely on the ground floor, the building stands out for its cutting-edge technical choices: an insulated roof, a solar panel system, and an innovative, eco-sustainable straw wall insulation. Inside, it boasts a large and magnificent common room with authentic handcrafted details and 3 independent apartments. Each apartment offers a dining area, two bedrooms, and characteristic en-suite bathrooms with terracotta sinks; one of the apartments also features a convenient kitchenette. The apartments without a kitchenette already have the necessary plumbing and electrical connections in place. Framing this estate is a large plot of land of approximately 21.4 hectares, featuring a prized galestro and calcareous soil, excellent for vineyards and olive groves. The exceptional agricultural sector consists of about 6 hectares used as an olive grove with a remarkable 1,230 trees in full production, a 1 hectare Sangiovese vineyard, while the remaining part is beautifully divided between arable land and woodland. To complete the outdoor areas, there are exclusive private grounds of approximately 3,200 sq mt/approx. 34,444 sq ft offering ample green spaces, where it is possible to build a spectacular panoramic swimming pool. Perfect as an extremely prestigious residence and a flourishing agricultural business
