The farmhouse retains the distinctive character of a traditional Leopoldina, with period architectural details and timber-framed windows that reflect its historic identity. A structural renovation completed in 1980, followed by a comprehensive refurbishment in 2016, has ensured the property is presented in excellent condition while preserving the architectural integrity of this iconic Tuscan building.

The estate is complemented by a collection of ancillary buildings and facilities that considerably enhance its versatility. 
A former barn has been thoughtfully repurposed to provide a spacious covered veranda on the ground floor and a dedicated fitness area on the upper level, creating additional spaces for relaxation and outdoor living.

Further outbuildings include several storage sheds and an independent annex currently used as storage, which offers the potential for conversion into additional residential accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The estate also includes a well-maintained paddock and 3 horse boxes, allowing horses to be kept on the property while taking full advantage of the surrounding land.

The property is equipped with a comprehensive range of technical facilities that ensure comfort, efficiency and ease of management throughout the year. Heating is provided by a combination of LPG, wood-burning and pellet systems, while air conditioning enhances comfort during the warmer months. Solar thermal panels contribute to domestic hot water production, reflecting a thoughtful approach to energy efficiency.

Water resources are particularly abundant, with 3 private wells, connection to the municipal water supply and a rainwater collection system. Irrigation is supplied by a picturesque lily pond, helping to maintain the gardens and surrounding grounds. An electric entrance gate provides convenient access, while the property’s technical infrastructure has been designed to support both everyday living and the management of a country estate.

Extending across approximately 4.7 hectares, the estate offers a harmonious blend of landscaped gardens, open pasture and gently rolling Tuscan countryside. Designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons, the outdoor spaces combine areas for relaxation with facilities suited to country living and equestrian pursuits.

At the heart of the grounds lies a 14 × 7 swimming pool with night lighting, accompanied by a barbecue area that creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The gardens are fully fenced and benefit from an automatic irrigation system supplied by a picturesque lily pond, helping to maintain the landscape throughout the year.

For horse enthusiasts, the surrounding land provides generous space for riding and grazing, with a well-maintained paddock that complements the estate’s dedicated equestrian facilities. Together, the carefully organised grounds and the peaceful rural setting create an environment equally suited to everyday living, leisure and life in the Tuscan countryside.

The estate enjoys a peaceful setting near Laterina, in the heart of the Valdarno, one of Tuscany‘s most authentic and unspoilt landscapes. Formed by the union of the historic villages of Laterina and Pergine Valdarno, the area is characterised by medieval architecture, rolling hills and a rich cultural heritage that has remained closely connected to local traditions.

Among the area’s most fascinating landmarks is the Ponte Romito, an ancient bridge spanning the Arno that has been identified in several studies as the possible bridge depicted in the background of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Throughout the year, the village also celebrates its heritage with traditional events, including the renowned Ferro e Fuoco Medieval Festival, when the historic centre comes alive with historical re-enactments, performances and local craftsmanship.

Arezzo is within easy reach for a wider range of services, shopping and cultural attractions, while Florence, Siena and the Chianti wine region are all ideal destinations for day trips. Convenient access to the A1 motorway and Florence Airport further enhances the property’s accessibility for both Italian and international owners.
