Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate is pleased to offer for sale this stunning stone farmhouse, boasting breathtaking views over Volterra and nestled in a beautifully maintained agricultural landscape among the rolling Tuscan hills.
Description
Dating back to the late Middle Ages, this farmhouse has been expanded over time to its current size. It stands in a dominant position atop a hill, surrounded by cultivated fields that stretch toward Volterra. The property spans approximately 700 sqm over two levels and is currently divided into two independent units, which can be connected if desired.
The main residence features a spacious living area on the ground floor, including a large kitchen adjacent to the living room, both enriched with brick-vaulted ceilings and charming stone details. On the first floor, a wide hallway leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The other portion of the farmhouse consists of six independent apartments, three on the ground floor and three on the first floor. Each apartment includes a living room with a kitchenette, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Outdoor Spaces
The property is surrounded by a 2,000 sqm garden, enclosed for privacy and tranquility. In the area furthest from the house, there is a 12 x 6-meter swimming pool, ideal for relaxing while enjoying the picturesque Tuscan countryside.
In front of the main residence, a covered pergola with traditional Tuscan roof tiles provides a shaded retreat, perfect for al fresco dining and social gatherings. The ground-floor apartments have private outdoor areas, where it is possible to set up seating areas with tables and chairs. The garden is adorned with trees and shrubs that create shaded, peaceful spots, while a fresh breeze from the sea helps temper the summer heat.
Beyond the garden, the 95-hectare agricultural estate unfolds, dotted with tree-lined pathways and green areas, offering a scenic view that transforms with the seasons—from lush spring greens to golden wheat fields at harvest time.

Upgrades included modernized installations, fixtures, and finishes, all in compliance with current regulations. Many of the materials used are original and have been carefully restored, preserving the authentic Tuscan charm while blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
