Benefiting from southern hillside solar exposure and maritime breezes, the land combines gentle arable fields and pasture with approximately 1.5 hectares of private woodland filled with native oak and cork trees, providing shade and privacy. The topography supports the development of an olive grove or vineyards within the Suvereto DOCG wine appellation.

Local Real Estate Market In the municipality of Suvereto and the Val di Cornia countryside, standard residential homes in good condition typically trade at average values between €1,950/sqm and €2,300/sqm. However, the market for hillside country properties featuring panoramic sea views over the Tuscan Archipelago, detached stone annexes, and land tracts exceeding 5 to 10 hectares with private water springs follows distinct valuation parameters. In unrenovated condition, estates with these characteristics typically range between €650,000 and €950,000. Following a comprehensive restoration incorporating traditional Tuscan finishes and modern energy systems, country homes and boutique hospitality properties in this area command valuations between €2,700/sqm and €3,500/sqm, supported by demand from northern European, Swiss, and American buyers drawn to the wine regions of Suvereto and Bolgheri. Tourist and Historical Information Suvereto is a medieval hilltop village in Tuscany, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy (I Borghi più Belli d'Italia) and awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club for its environmental preservation and hospitality. Set on the forested slopes of the Val di Cornia and surrounded by cork oak groves (suber) that gave the town its name, Suvereto retains its 13th-century defensive walls. Landmarks in the historic core include the 13th-century Town Hall with its clock tower and the Loggia dei Giudici, alongside the Romanesque Church of San Giusto founded in 1189 with its sculpted portal. At the summit of the hill stands the 12th-century Rocca Aldobrandesca fortress. The territory of Suvereto is an internationally recognized winemaking capital: home to the Suvereto DOCG denomination, it hosts wineries including Petra, designed by architect Mario Botta, and Tua Rita, producer of Tuscan wines. The location is strategic: the beaches of the Sterpaia Coastal Nature Reserve and Torre Mozza are just 8 km away, while nearby attractions include the 36°C natural thermal springs of Calidario Terme Etrusche in Venturina, the crescent bay of the Gulf of Baratti with its seaside Etruscan necropolis at Populonia, and ferry departures for Elba Island from the Port of Piombino.
