Country houses and farms for sale in Tuscany

Tuscany has 1,465 country houses on the market, and serious buyers know this inventory never sits long. Stone farmhouses with terracotta floors, original timber beams, a working olive grove, a vineyard facing south across the hills. These are not generic rural properties. Each Tuscan country house carries a specific identity rooted in the land around it, and that identity is what drives a buyer from London, Boston or Munich to cross an ocean for a viewing. The Chianti hills, the Val d'Orcia, the Crete Senesi and the Maremma coast each attract a different buyer profile, but the underlying demand is consistent and international.

How much does a country house cost in Tuscany

Prices for Tuscan country houses start at TRY 568,104 for properties requiring full restoration with limited land, reaching TRY 66,278,800 for fully restored estates with productive vineyards, multiple outbuildings and private pools. The average sale price is TRY 4,297,158. Floor areas range from 75 to 320970 sqm, with a typical size around 1533 sqm and between 1 and 66 bedrooms. Three variables drive price more than anything else: the integrity of original materials (exposed stone, chestnut beams, antique terracotta), the size and agricultural productivity of the land, and the quality of the view. A farmhouse with intact historic finishes commands a significant premium over one where modern renovations have replaced period features. Unobstructed panoramic views across rolling hills, with no visible roads or pylons, add measurable value. That is not subjective. It reflects directly in asking prices across every province.

Where to buy a country house in Tuscany

The Chianti Classico zone between Greve in Chianti and Radda in Chianti concentrates the highest density of restored farmhouses linked to wine production. Here, buying a country house often means acquiring a working estate with DOC or DOCG certification already in place. The Crete Senesi south of Siena offers a quieter, more austere landscape around Asciano and Rapolano Terme, where large isolated farmsteads sit on pale clay hills with almost no visible neighbors. Val d'Orcia properties command a premium for obvious reasons: UNESCO World Heritage status, cypress-lined roads and views that appear in every photography book on Italy. Country houses near Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico d'Orcia are rare, rarely discounted and consistently in demand. The Maremma, particularly around Manciano and the hills above Capalbio, suits buyers who want generous land, maritime scrub landscape and a short drive to the Tyrrhenian coast. Prices here are lower than in the Sienese hills, which is exactly why international interest has been climbing steadily. Cortona and the Valdichiana are worth watching too: stone farmhouses in excellent condition at prices the Val d'Orcia market left behind years ago.
