Energy-self-sufficient estate with farmhouse, annexe and stables, for sale in the heart of the Valdarno, Florence – Tuscany

Ref. FIR203

Nestled in the scenic Florentine countryside, between Florence and Arezzo, this property is a rare find for those seeking a sustainable estate in Tuscany that is efficient and has low running costs. Approximately 450 square metres of living space in the main farmhouse, a 70-square-metre annexe/former barn, a separate annexe of 40 square metres and the Rinco stables of 160 square metres, all surrounded by 17 hectares of private land comprising meadows, a productive olive grove and a picturesque ‘romantic’ woodland. The estate is already set up for organic production: honey, pollen and extra virgin olive oil.

The main farmhouse (450 m²), in typical Tuscan style, is spread over two storeys.

On the ground floor: a spacious triple living room, a large kitchen with an antique fireplace, a dining room, two double bedrooms and a guest bathroom.

On the first floor, accessed via a stone staircase: a large living room with a fireplace and a kitchen-diner, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The presence of a kitchen on the first floor as well makes it easy to divide the property into two independent units, perfect for an extended family or a guest accommodation business.

Just a short walk away is the former barn (70 m²): today, the ground floor is used as a workshop, whilst the upper level houses a large space ideal as a guest flat or suite. A detached outbuilding (40 m²) houses a laundry room, bathroom and utility room: here there is a latest-generation pellet boiler, self-sufficient, with a 7-tonne storage capacity.

The equestrian facilities are a real added bonus: Rinco stables (160 m²) with a feed store, hayloft, washing area, tack room and 4 stalls (with the option to double this number). The facilities are completed by two very large paddocks, both fenced: one with a Rinco shelter in the garden, the other in the adjacent valley near the stables. A perfect solution for a private riding centre or to complement equestrian tourism.

In terms of energy, the estate is designed for maximum self-sufficiency: a photovoltaic system, solar thermal for hot water and pellet heating. The energy rating is currently being upgraded to achieve Class A+. The private well ensures further independence and low running costs. Terracotta floors, exposed beams and high-quality finishes combine with modern technology, creating a perfect balance between rural charm and comfort.

The 17 hectares of organically farmed land (meadows, olive groves and woodland) make the property ideal for a farm, a charming agritourism business, a country house with horses or an exclusive private residence in the countryside. The location is strategic: close to Florence, Siena and Arezzo, well connected to local amenities, yet set in a secluded and peaceful setting.

A complete property, ready to move into: green energy, privacy, generous spaces and potential for accommodation. The right choice for those wishing to live in or invest in a estate in Tuscany with land and stables, which is sustainable and efficient.
