Agricultural Estate for Sale in Castelfiorentino, Florence

Unique 50 ha Agricultural Estate for sale in Castelfiorentino (FI) with 1450 sqm of properties requiring renovation. Panoramic location. Ideal for Luxury Agritourism, Resort, or Winery Development. General Description: In the vibrant heart of the iconic Tuscan hills, a short distance from the historic center of Castelfiorentino and major road networks, an opportunity of rare excellence is presented: a vast agricultural estate spanning approximately 50 hectares. The property includes a substantial built area of about 1450 sqm, distributed across multiple buildings slated for complete renovation. The estate, with its commanding panoramic position over the Valdelsa, is surrounded by valuable vineyards and arable land. While it requires comprehensive refurbishment, the volume and extent of the land provide the perfect foundation for developing an ambitious luxury project, whether an exclusive resort, a modern wine company, or a prestigious private residence. Interior Description: The 1450 sqm of buildings are currently in a condition necessitating complete renovation ("Da ristrutturare"), but the significant volume and 40 rooms (vani) offer extraordinary design flexibility. The main structure can be converted to host luxury suites for a resort, expansive communal areas, gourmet restaurants, or the operational and representative headquarters of a winery. The auxiliary buildings can be allocated to technical rooms, storage, or staff accommodation. The revitalization project allows for the restoration of typical Tuscan structural features, such as exposed wooden beams, cotto floors, and exposed stone, to create high-standard and charming environments. Exterior Description: The estate covers approximately 50 hectares (123.5 acres), with a predominance of agricultural land, woodland, and, crucially, valuable vineyards, which represent a fundamental asset in this area dedicated to the production of Chianti Colli Fiorentini and IGT Toscana wines. The location is hilly and highly panoramic, offering spectacular views over the gentle slopes of the Valdelsa. The large extent of the land permits the development of spacious gardens, the installation of one or more panoramic swimming pools, the creation of nature trails, and the expansion of the winemaking business. Access is easy, ensuring efficient connection while maintaining absolute privacy. Main Features: Built area: 1450 sqm Private land: Approximately 50 hectares Total Rooms (Vani): 40 Type: Agricultural Estate / Farm Condition: To be restored Primary land use: Valuable vineyards, Arable land, Wood Location: Panoramic and hilly Potential use: Luxury Agritourism, Resort, Winery Utility Details: Given the "To be restored" condition, a total overhaul of all systems and utilities is anticipated. Modern systems for heating, electricity, and water will need to be installed, conforming to the latest regulations, including potential renewable energy management systems (photovoltaic, solar thermal) to optimize future operating costs, which are essential for a hospitality structure of this size. Connection to main networks will need to be verified and redesigned from scratch. Uses and Potential: This estate represents a blank canvas for entrepreneurs and investors with vision. The presence of 50 hectares, including productive vineyards, makes it exceptionally suitable for conversion into a Luxury Agritourism or Spa Resort focused on wine tourism. The building volume allows for the development of numerous guest rooms and representative communal areas. Alternatively, the property can become a prestigious Winery with an adjoining noble residence, fully exploiting the potential of the vine-planted land in the heart of central Tuscany, an area with extremely high international tourist demand. Local Real Estate Market: Castelfiorentino is situated in the Valdelsa, an area that acts as a hinge between the Florence and Siena markets, benefiting from their attractiveness while maintaining more competitive residential prices. The average requested price for residential properties in the municipality is approximately € 1,515 - € 1,646 per square meter, showing growth in the past year. Comparatively, Castelfiorentino is more accessible than nearby luxury hubs like San Gimignano (where average residential prices exceed € 2,500/sqm) and prestigious Chianti Classico areas (e.g., San Casciano in Val di Pesa, € 2,517/sqm). However, the value of Agricultural Estates and large farmhouses with vineyards, such as the property in question, is largely determined by the quality of the land and the strategic location, reaching significantly higher valuations than the local residential average, given the scarcity of comparable assets in terms of size and vocation. Tourist and Historical Information: Castelfiorentino is a historic town located on the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route that connected Northern Europe to Rome, lending it enduring historical and cultural importance. The town is divided into the lower, modern section and the upper part (Il Castello), where the main attractions are found: The Santuario di Santa Verdiana: dedicated to the town's patron saint, housing a precious adjacent Museum of Sacred Art. The Pieve dei Santi Ippolito e Biagio: one of the most interesting terracotta buildings in the Valdelsa, dating back to the 12th century. BEGO - Benozzo Gozzoli Museum: home to important frescoes by the renowned Florentine artist, originally created in roadside tabernacles. Its position in the Valdelsa places it in a strategic triangle for exploring the main Tuscan art cities (Florence, Siena) and the most iconic medieval villages (San Gimignano, Certaldo). The entire area is renowned for its high-quality wine production (Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG).
