Medieval hamlet in San Gimignano, Siena
Organic farm of 209 hectares with three real estate complexes and an archaeological area for sale between San Gimignano and Volterra, Siena, Tuscany. Located halfway between San Gimignano and Volterra, close to highways and airports, this estate consists of three groups of buildings and a medieval village, spanning 209 hectares of land divided into vineyards, woods, olive groves, and arable land. The medieval village, on the Via Francigena, covers 3.5 hectares and is an important archaeological attraction. Surrounded by walls dating back to 1000 AD, the village includes mills with stone millstones, the foundations of various buildings, warehouses, ovens, a cistern capable of holding up to 60,000 liters of water, the church of San Frediano, and city wall towers. From the village, to reach the prestigious three-story Villa, which needs restoration, there is a private road that crosses a 1.5 km Nature Reserve. The Villa is accessed via an elegant double-flight staircase and is surrounded by residential and agricultural buildings. In a south-westerly direction, a complex of buildings stands in a wooded area overlooking an olive grove. This complex consists of a main farmhouse in stone and brick, along with three annexes, some of which need restoration. To the northwest, another group of buildings includes a partially restored farmhouse at the center of four appurtenances, all easily recoverable, in a courtyard shaded by tall trees surrounded by vineyards. The land is currently used for vineyards producing Vernaccia DOCG, olive groves producing extra virgin olive oil, and woodland, some of which can be converted to expand other crops. Additionally, there are eight fixed hunting posts within the woodland. This property is an exceptional opportunity for investment in agricultural and accommodation businesses in a land dedicated to high-quality production and a sought-after destination for visitors worldwide.
