Rural farmhouse for sale in Volterra (Pisa)

Set within a historic hamlet originally known as "Castel del Popolo"—a medieval stronghold built along the historic border between Volterra and San Gimignano—we are offering for sale a portion of a Tuscan farmhouse comprising two independent apartments, outbuildings, a garage, and exclusive private land. Of the original fortress, only its iconic stone tower remains today, serving as a prominent landmark on the road to Volterra (historically functioning as a toll house and checkpoint for passing trade). Situated directly opposite this historic tower, the property offers a total living area of 205 sqm split into two self-contained units, each with its own private entrance and convenient parking right in front of the private courtyard. The main multi-level apartment features an open-plan kitchen and living space with a fireplace and a storage room on the ground floor, while the first floor houses three spacious bedrooms, a hallway, and a bathroom. The second apartment is arranged entirely on a single level and includes an open-plan living and kitchen area, a bathroom, an entry hall, and a double bedroom. Adjacent to this smaller unit is an additional utility space currently used as a cozy retreat, complete with a kitchenette, a small bathroom, and a highly characteristic dining room. Both apartments are well-maintained, fully functional, and currently rented under regular lease agreements; heating is LPG-powered and all utilities are in working order. The property is surrounded by a fully fenced 1,400 sqm private garden featuring olive and fruit trees, outbuildings, a garage, and sweeping, unobstructed views over Volterra, San Gimignano, and the surrounding countryside. Also included in the sale is a separate, easily accessible 7,000 sqm plot of land nearby with a productive olive grove and panoramic vistas. Located perfectly midway between the renowned tourist destinations of Volterra and San Gimignano, this property represents an outstanding opportunity either as a peaceful private residence or as a high-potential holiday rental investment.
