Description

Two unique farmhouses with outbuildings in need of renovation and beautiful views over the Crete Senesi, set on 36 hectares of land. Ref. ASC217 In an authentic corner of Tuscany, where the Crete Senesi form a picture-postcard landscape, stand the Casali il Sole and la Luna. We reach them by travelling along a picturesque stretch of dirt track, and on our arrival three centuries-old oak trees welcome us like sentinels. The property comprises four buildings overlooking a courtyard of approximately 4,000 square metres, set within 36 hectares of land offering a 360° panoramic view of the hills. Two main buildings are arranged over two storeys and house the old farm dwellings on the upper floor, whilst a pigsty and a shed are single-storey structures; the total covered area is approximately 1,065 square metres. This estate requires a complete restoration, with the option to demolish and faithfully rebuild the more recent house. For those seeking an ambitious project, this is an opportunity to breathe new life into a farming hamlet in the heart of the Sienese countryside. The land offers a rare combination: an olive grove with around 65 trees in production, a 7,000-square-metre vineyard (currently not in production) and areas of arable land and pasture; there is also a woodland with a prized truffle ground. Two wells – one of which is ancient – and a connection to the municipal water supply ensure a reliable water supply. The location is secluded but not isolated: the property is situated approximately 5 km from the amenities of Asciano and 2 km from the tarmac road.
