General Description: In the historic centre of Castagneto Carducci, inside an ancient village building, we offer an apartment of about 98 sqm on the first floor, completely to be restored.

Internal Description: The apartment consists of four main rooms, two storage rooms and one bathroom.

Uses and Potential: This is an ideal option for anyone dreaming of a home in the authentic village of Castagneto Carducci, with the possibility to shape interiors to personal taste. Its size and central location make it very appealing also as an investment: renovated homes here are requested by Italian and international buyers looking for Tuscan atmosphere, proximity to Bolgheri wineries and quick access to the sea. The internal parking space, extremely rare in the village, further boosts appeal for both private use and holiday rentals. Local Real Estate Market: Castagneto Carducci is one of the most desirable municipalities on the Etruscan Coast because it combines a hilltop village, wine countryside and seaside. The market reflects this dual identity: top prices are found by the coast and in Marina di Castagneto, while the village historic centre keeps solid but often more accessible values compared to the beach strip. In 2025 average municipal apartment prices sit roughly around 2,600–3,200 €/sqm, with fluctuations tied to exact location and condition; restored village apartments with quality finishes usually reach the mid-upper part of the range, while properties to restore offer strong upside once renovated. Demand is driven by second-home seekers and tourist investors, supported by the Bolgheri brand and close beaches. The result is a lively market, not weighed down by excess supply, with good growth potential for carefully restored historic homes. Tourist and Historical Information: Castagneto Carducci is a medieval village perched between sea and hills, closely linked to poet Giosuè Carducci and to the landscape he made famous. The historic centre preserves a compact urban fabric of stone alleys, arches, stairways and panoramic terraces looking toward the Tyrrhenian Sea and Elba Island. Just a few kilometres away lies Bolgheri, with its iconic Cypress Avenue and world-renowned wineries, a constant destination for international wine tourism. Toward the coast, Marina di Castagneto and Donoratico offer long sandy beaches, pinewoods and equipped bathing areas, lively in summer and attractive year-round for nature and outdoor sports. Cultural events, vineyard and olive-grove routes, local festivals and tastings keep tourism steady and mid-to-high end, directly supporting the real estate value of the village.
