Rustic farmhouse for sale in Suvereto

Rustic farmhouse for sale in Suvereto, Livorno. Historic 460 sqm stone house to restore with barn, stables, 10 hectares of land with olive grove, water, and power connections. Ideal private estate or boutique country resort. General Description Nestled among the rolling hills of the Val di Cornia, within the municipality of Suvereto, we offer for sale an authentic rural country estate with significant redevelopment potential. The property is set within an environment of countryside privacy and tranquility, surrounded by classic Mediterranean flora. The architectural centerpiece is a two-story stone country house measuring approximately 460 sqm in total, which preserves its original perimeter masonry load-bearing walls and traditional architectural proportions. The built structures further include two expansive agricultural outbuildings: an open-span hay barn measuring roughly 360 sqm and an agricultural stable building measuring approximately 490 sqm, bringing the total covered surface area to about 1,310 sqm. Surrounded by an agricultural estate of approximately ten hectares comprising arable land, an olive grove, and private woodland, the property benefits from existing connections to both the municipal waterworks and the national electricity grid, key infrastructure that simplifies and accelerates any restoration project. Property and Land Description The built compendium offers substantial volume, well suited for architectural restoration celebrating Tuscan heritage. The main stone house, currently in need of full structural reconstruction, retains the presence of traditional farmhouses through its exposed local stonework, ideal for integrating with reclaimed chestnut wood ceiling beams and terracotta tiles. Positioned near the primary residence are two large utilitarian outbuildings built with precast concrete structures: an open-span storage barn of about 360 sqm and a former stable facility of about 490 sqm. These structures provide covered surface area suited to support ongoing equestrian or agricultural pursuits, or to be repurposed into guest accommodations, leisure spaces, or an artisanal winemaking facility, subject to planning approval. The estate is accessed via a rural unpaved roadway that ensures privacy from primary thoroughfares. Grounds and Agricultural Land The estate extends across approximately ten hectares (100,000 sqm) of agricultural land, offering varied countryside terrain. The property includes gentle arable slopes suited for planting vineyards within the Suvereto DOCG territory, alongside a productive olive grove yielding Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. A tract of Mediterranean woodland borders the grounds, acting as a natural windbreak while providing shaded private walking paths and habitat for local wildlife. The orientation and open hillside sun exposure offer suitable conditions for landscaped gardens, outdoor lounge terraces, and a swimming pool overlooking the hills of the Val di Cornia.

Potential Uses With over 1,300 sqm of covered surface area, ten hectares of land, and close proximity to the Etruscan Coast, this property offers diverse development opportunities.
