RARE LAKE-ACCESS TUSCAN ESTATE

An authentic Tuscan estate of remarkable scale, set near a Tuscan Lake, offering approximately 650 sqm / 6,997 sq ft of existing buildings and 12.35 acres of land.

This exceptional former agricultural estate combines a substantial farmhouse villa, extensive outbuildings, olive groves, vineyard, pasture and woodland, creating a rare opportunity for a private family estate, multi-generational retreat or luxury hospitality destination with rental potential.

There are properties that are beautiful, and then there are properties that offer something genuinely difficult to reproduce.

This is one of those rare opportunities.

Set in the spectacular Tuscan countryside, the property enjoys a beautiful lake setting and an exceptional combination of land, existing buildings and potential.

The property is offered at a remarkably attractive price considering its size, location and development potential. The buildings appear structurally solid, but the interiors are dated and would benefit from a comprehensive cosmetic and contemporary upgrade.

For the right buyer, this provides the opportunity to preserve the authentic Tuscan character while creating a sophisticated private residence or high-end hospitality estate.

LUXURY PRIVATE ESTATE & HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL:

The combination of the main villa, extensive grounds and substantial additional buildings offers considerable flexibility.

The property could be transformed into an exceptional private family estate, a multi-generational Tuscan retreat or a distinctive luxury vacation destination.

The existing outbuildings could potentially be converted into additional guest accommodations, suites, wellness areas, recreational spaces or other complementary uses, subject to planning permissions and professional verification.

The estate also offers the possibility of combining private use with rental income, making it particularly interesting for buyers seeking both lifestyle and value-creation potential.

Lake Lifestyle: While swimming is currently not permitted, the lake offers opportunities for peaceful non-motorized activities such as sailing, kayaking and canoeing, subject to local regulations. Petrol- and diesel-powered boats are not allowed.

WATER & UTILITIES: The property is connected to the public water supply and also benefits from two private wells serving the land and irrigation.

Heating is provided by a system operating with wood and/or diesel, while domestic hot water can also be supported electrically when required.

A PRIVATE TUSCAN LIFESTYLE: One of the defining characteristics of this estate is its exceptional setting.

Surrounded by the Tuscan countryside and close to Lake Montedoglio, the property offers privacy, space and beautiful natural surroundings while remaining within practical driving distance of towns, services and international airports.

The location is particularly attractive for those seeking an authentic Italian lifestyle, with opportunities for outdoor recreation, relaxation and exploring both Tuscany and neighboring Umbria.

The photographs give a strong impression of the setting, but the true scale and potential of the estate are best appreciated in person.

Private viewings are highly recommended.
