About the Property

In the enchanting Tuscan countryside of Casole d’Elsa, about 30 km west of Siena, nestled among gentle hills and dense oak and chestnut forests, lies a small medieval hamlet steeped in a thousand years of history. Its ancient walls tell the stories of those who once lived in this fairytale setting over the centuries. Although the name of the place recalls Etruscan origins, the earliest written record dates back to the year 994, when the entire hamlet was gifted by a local nobleman to his wife as part of their marriage union. Its proximity to Siena shaped its past as a fortified castle, forming part of the defensive line of strongholds that stretched along the Montagnola hills to protect the Sienese state. The history of this hamlet continued through the centuries, reaching into more recent times during World War II, when local farmers hid a Jewish family from Nazi persecution by falsifying their documents. In 2019, these farmers were honored by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as Righteous Among the Nations. CENTURY 21 Skyline is proud and honored to present for sale this extraordinary and truly unique property. The estate consists of 14 buildings, including two towers, the main palazzo, and the church dedicated to Saint Peter with its rectory. All of the structures feature the typical mixed-stone masonry of the area. While some buildings have long been abandoned, others were inhabited until only a few decades ago; as such, the restoration required to make the hamlet fully usable again will vary in complexity from one structure to another. The total built surface amounts to approximately 6139 square meters, while the estate extends across more than 50 hectares of surrounding land, composed of dense woodland with centuries-old trees, arable fields, olive groves, and orchards. Despite its more recent rural use, the property is perfectly suited to be transformed into an exclusive residential or hospitality complex, centered on wellbeing in nature, enriched by its authenticity and remarkable history. The area of Casole d’Elsa, a charming town just a few kilometers away, is internationally renowned for its upscale tourism development in recent years, thanks to the wealth of resources this region offers, its extraordinary historical heritage, and its remarkable biodiversity.

Ses anciens remparts racontent la vie de ceux qui ont habité ces lieux enchanteurs au fil des siècles. Bien que le toponyme du site évoque des origines étrusques, les premières traces écrites remontent à l’an 994, lorsque le village fut offert par un noble local à son épouse en cadeau de mariage. La proximité avec Sienne a marqué son rôle historique de château fortifié, intégré dans cette ligne de bastions qui s’étendait le long du versant de la Montagnola afin de défendre l’État siennois. L’histoire de ce lieu se poursuit au fil des siècles, jusqu’à des temps plus récentes. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des fermiers locaux cachèrent une famille juive pour la soustraire aux persécutions nazies, en falsifiant leurs papiers. En 2019, ces mêmes fermiers furent reconnus par le Yad Vashem de Jérusalem comme Justes parmi les Nations. CENTURY 21 Skyline est fière et honorée de proposer à la vente cette propriété extraordinaire et véritablement unique. Le domaine est composé de 14 bâtiments, parmi lesquels deux tours, le palais principal et l’église dédiée à Saint-Pierre avec son presbytère. Tous les édifices se distinguent par la typique maçonnerie en pierre mixte. Si certains bâtiments sont à l’abandon depuis longtemps, d’autres ont été habités jusqu’à quelques décennies seulement ; ainsi, les travaux de restauration nécessaires à la remise en valeur du bourg s’avèrent plus ou moins complexes selon les structures. La surface bâtie totale s’élève à environ 6 139 m² et la propriété s’étend sur plus de 50 hectares de terres environnantes, composées de forêts denses avec des arbres séculaires de diverses essences, de champs cultivables, d’oliveraies et de vergers. Bien que son utilisation récente ait été essentiellement agricole, cette propriété se prête parfaitement à une transformation en résidence ou complexe d’accueil haut de gamme, centré sur le bien-être au cœur de la nature, sublimé par son authenticité et son histoire. La zone de Casole d’Elsa, charmante petite ville située à quelques kilomètres de la propriété, est reconnue à l’international pour son développement touristique de prestige, grâce aux nombreuses ressources offertes par ce territoire, à son incroyable patrimoine historique et à sa remarquable biodiversité. Les données et informations contenues dans cette annonce sont purement indicatives et ne constituent en aucun cas un élément, une contrainte ou une condition contractuelle. ________________________ Nelle incantevoli campagne Toscane di Casole d’Elsa, a circa 30km ad ovest della città di Siena, immerso tra dolci colline e fitte foreste di querce e castagni, sorge un piccolo borgo medioevale che trasuda di una storia millenaria e racconta, attraverso le sue antiche mura, la vita di chi ha vissuto questi luoghi da fiaba nell’arco dei secoli. Sebbene il toponimo del luogo faccia riferimento ad origini etrusche, le prime testimonianze risalgono all’anno 994 quando l’intero borgo venne donato da un nobile locale alla propria moglie in occasione del loro matrimonio. La vicinanza con Siena ha determinato nel passato la sua configurazione in castello per far parte di quella fascia di baluardi che si snodano lungo tutto il versante della Montagnola a difesa dello stato senese. La storia di questi luoghi avanza nei secoli fino ad arrivare al periodo più recente, quando durante la seconda guerra mondiale i fattori del posto nascosero una famiglia ebrea dalle persecuzioni naziste, falsificandone i documenti. Nel 2019 gli stessi fattori vennero riconosciuti dallo Yad Vashem di Gerusalemme come Giusti tra le Nazioni. La CENTURY 21 Skyline è orgogliosa ed onorata di poter proporre la vendita di questa straordinaria quanto unica proprietà. Il complesso è composto da 14 edifici tra cui le due torri, il palazzo principale e la chiesa intitolata a San Pietro con la sua canonica. Tutti i fabbricati sono caratterizzati dalla tipica muratura in pietra mista. Sebbene alcuni edifici siano stati abbandonati da più tempo, alcuni sono stati invece abitati fino a pochi decenni fa, pertanto il restauro al fine di rendere il borgo nuovamente agibile risulta meno complesso su alcune strutture rispetto ad altre. La superficie totale dell’insieme dei fabbricati è di circa 6139mq e la proprietà si estende su terreni circostanti per oltre 50 ettari costituiti da fitti boschi con piante secolari di varietà mista, campi seminativi, uliveti e frutteti. Nonostante la sua più recente destinazione rurale, questa proprietà si presta perfettamente ad essere trasformata in un raffinato ambiente residenziale o ricettivo all’insegna del wellness immerso nella natura, caratterizzato dalla sua autenticità e dalla sua storia. La zona di Casole d’Elsa, deliziosa cittadina che dista pochi chilometri dalla proprietà, è nota al livello internazionale anche per il suo recente sviluppo turistico di alta fascia, legato alle numerose risorse che offre questo territorio grazie all’incredibile bagaglio storico ed alla sua ampia biodiversità.
