Medieval mill, ruin dated 1200, to be restored - Florence
Unique setting by the Arno river, surrounded by natural forest, ruin of a historic stone mill to be converted, for sale south of Florence. Set in an utterly enchanting position on the banks of the River Arno, this remarkable historic mill offers the opportunity to reimagine a piece of Tuscan heritage within a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. For lovers of history, architecture and the elemental of water, this abandoned mill offers a place where imagination and vision can transform ruin into something exceptional. Surrounded by woodland and accompanied by the constant, evocative sound of flowing water, the property occupies a uniquely atmospheric setting just 20 minutes south of Florence, within easy reach of the A1 motorway and a mere 1,6 miles from Figline Valdarno with its full range of shops and amenities. The approach unfolds through unspoilt countryside, leading to a historic riverside complex where ancient stone bridges and original architectural elements still bear witness to centuries of craftsmanship. Dating back to the 1200s, the former stone mill extends to approximately 710 square metres over three levels. Though currently in a state of abandonment and requiring comprehensive restoration, it retains a wealth of original features and structural character. The stone walls, generous internal volumes and riverside orientation provide an exceptional canvas for an ambitious and imaginative conversion. A preliminary phase of works was undertaken in 2005, yet the property now awaits a visionary owner capable of unlocking its full potential. The proximity to the river, the presence of historic bridges and the enduring soundtrack of water flowing past the foundations create a setting that is both tranquil and dramatic.
