Wine estate and working farm situated in the countryside surrounding the city of Florence. This historical country estate sits in a sought after location neighbouring one of Italy's most famous vineyards. An area where one may enjoy both a country lifestyle as well as good access to the hub of metropolitan culture that is Florence.
The estate comprises a traditional style Leopoldina Manor House, a 4 bedroom villa, a castle style farmhouse with 6 apartments, a wine cellar and small restaurant. This 30 hectare property is of a size that makes it feasibly for both private or commercial interest.
The Manor House
Built in 1779, the estates principle property is described architecturally as a Leopoldina, which is a rare and sought after style considered by many to be the quintessential Tuscan property. The symmetrical arches, open loggia and central tower give the property masses of character and an old world charm. The house offers approximately 900 m² of floorspace spread over three floors. The first and second floors are currently divided into two habitable areas with multiple access points. The first main area which incorporates the tower offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, lounge and kitchen whilst the secondary area offers a further 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The secondary area is in need of refurbishment. Both areas could be easily connected to create one large living space.
The ground and lower floors also offer habitable space and a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment has been partially restored. Planning permission pending. There is also a small cantina/wine cellar under the property.

The Farmhouse
Despite the impressive crenelations giving the appearance of a castle, this property situated at the edge of the estate is actually a farmhouse. Currently comprising of 7 apartments and used as an agriturismo (farmhouse holidays) in conjunction with the restaurant.
The Villa
The villa sits in a private and secluded area of the estate and offers potential as a guesthouse or rental property. Offering approximately 300 m² of space comprising 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, dining area, and billiard room. Surrounded by a large panoramic terrace which may be accessed from most of the ground floor rooms.
Wine Cellar and Restaurant
The restaurant is not large enough in our opinion to appeal to independent commercial interest, but it is definitely an appealing service to offer to guests of the estate. Currently used only for private events and cooking classes.
The wine cellar is sufficiently equipped to deal with the yield of the estate.
The Grounds & Estate
Spanning a total of 30 ha which comprises 5 ha of vineyard (1.5 working, 3.5 ha right to plant), and approximately 15 ha of oil producing olive groves. The remainder of the land is forest.
Location
The estate is located approximately 25 mins from the city of Florence in the hills East of the city.

Send us an enquiry with an approximate description of the property or investment project you’re interested in.
After clarifying your enquiry, we will introduce you to our partners and/or local agents.
We will help you to select suitable options. Tranio does not charge a commission for this — the property price remains the same as if you contacted our partner directly.
You then view the property or properties you have chosen. Our partners or agents from Tranio's European offices will meet you in situ.
Having chosen the best property, you will sign the sales or investment agreement (for development).
It depends on the country. For example, German banks willingly offer mortgages to foreigners at 1.5-2 % per annum with LTV up to 70%. Spain offers less favourable terms: the minimum rate for foreigners is 2.5% per annum. The situation is different in Greece: although the law does not prohibit banks from issuing loans, in practice, Greek banks don’t issue loans to local nor foreign property buyers. You can learn about the mortgage terms in your preferred country by contacting Tranio’s local agents.
The purchase procedure depends on the country where you buy property. Generally, after choosing a property you need to sign a preliminary agreement with the seller and carry out a due diligence of the property by checking the relevant documents and the property's technical condition. After that, all parties sign the sales agreement and the notary registers the transaction. As a rule, the purchase registration costs amount to approximately 10% of the property price.
In some countries it is possible. Residence-for-property purchase programmes are known as Golden Visas programmes. Greece, Spain and Latvia offer the most popular Golden Visas in Europe. The Greek residence permit is the cheapest and can be obtained by buying a property worth at least €250,000, while organising all of the documents costs about €19,000. Certain countries offer citizenship to property buyers — for example, an investor can get their hands on a Turkey passport by buying a property worth at least $400,000.
We share the commission, which the buyer or the seller (depending on the country) pays to our partners — foreign real estate agencies. The price of this service is the same as if you contacted the agency directly — this is an important condition and applies to all of our partnership agreements.
The transaction security is guaranteed by the notary who draws up the sales agreement and checks the information on the previous and current owners of the property, any outstanding restrictions, mortgage, and third-party encumbrances. Tranio is not responsible for the parties involved in the transaction.
