Nestled in Tuscany’s scenic Casentino valley, this enchanting 10-hectare estate offers a rare opportunity to restore and transform a historic rural hamlet into a luxury retreat, agritourism destination, or private estate. Spanning 5,850 sqm, the property includes two building clusters featuring consolidated stone farmhouses, a manor house, and agricultural outbuildings—all with renovated roofs, awaiting interior customisation. The main hamlet, 4,600 sqm in size, comprises 11 buildings along a panoramic road to the Verna Sanctuary, while a second 1,250-sqm cluster includes a central villa and three convertible farm structures. This estate is steeped in history, with authentic Tuscan architectural details like beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, and stone fireplaces. One house even bears the name of Michelangelo Buonarroti, linking the property to the famed Renaissance master. Set amid forests, pastures, and trails, the location is ideal for outdoor pursuits like trekking, yoga, or horseback riding, and is close to spiritual sites like La Verna and Camaldoli. With proximity to Bibbiena and art cities like Arezzo and Florence, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create a serene, nature-immersed haven rich in culture, history, and development potential.
