Restoration Project for Sale in Tuscany Nestled within the natural area of 'Le Balze', 50 km south of Florence, this remarkable property is located in the charming municipality of Castelfranco di Sopra, known as one of Italy's 100 most beautiful villages. This unique estate, formerly belonging to the noble Sassolini family, spans over 800 sqm and is comprised of three separate buildings set within 10 hectares of exclusive land, primarily cultivated with ancient olive varieties, boasting over 1,700 trees that produce olive oil with nearly lost characteristics, as well as irises destined for the renowned perfume market of Grasse in Provence. The farmhouse, built in the 1700s, offers 350 sqm of space with 10 rooms and services spread over two floors. The former granary has been converted into a 4-room space featuring a kitchen and bathroom, totaling 80 sqm.
The main house, known as 'Il Beniamino' and dating back to the 1600s, encompasses over 400 sqm, comprising 12 rooms evenly distributed across three levels. The proposal includes several accessory volumes: a storage area, a tool shed exceeding 40 sqm, a stone basin once used for water reserve, a garage, and various verandas and terraces. Inside the diverse structures, you will find grand fireplaces and rare, ancient bread ovens. The garden offers breathtaking views of the Valdarno and other historical residences, including the Palagio, recently acquired by a famous English singer.
This fascinating property, awaiting restoration, is served by an exclusive road system connecting the residences and the land, characterized by ancient dry stone terracing. Beyond the stunning panorama, there are no nearby industries or high-voltage power lines
