Historic Real Estate Complex with Natural Spring and Chestnut Grove

About the Property

Historic real estate complex with natural spring and chestnut grove, dating back to the 7th century, requiring comprehensive restoration, located on the slopes of the Casentino in Italy. This property encompasses a total of 1,130,000 square meters, offering a high level of privacy and a commanding position. It is situated a short distance from Arezzo, ensuring accessibility to major urban centers. The complex is set upon a rocky spur at the confluence of two streams, a site of strategic importance throughout history. The original core features a church with Greek architectural influences, indicative of its historical significance as part of the Byzantine corridor between Ravenna and Rome. The buildings, totaling over 2,200 square meters, include remnants of an ancient castle that once safeguarded the connections between the Cassia Vetus and the Via Romea. The orientation of the structures along an east-west axis is designed to optimize solar exposure and protect against northern winds, complemented by a photovoltaic system. The estate's expansive grounds include a productive chestnut grove, arable fields, and pastures, suitable for organic or regenerative agriculture projects. A notable feature is the exceptional perennial natural spring located in the upper part of the estate, which, along with the two watercourses, ensures water self-sufficiency for any future development. The serene landscape, with views extending to Monte Penna and the Sanctuary of La Verna, provides an ideal retreat from contemporary noise.
