Historic 552 sqm stone farmhouse with 37 hectares, olive grove and horse pastures for sale in Pomarance

Pomarance: restored 552 sqm stone country estate with 37 hectares, 1,000 olive trees, horse paddocks, barn and outbuildings. General Description: In a dominant panoramic setting atop a gentle hill in the Upper Cecina Valley, just a few kilometers from the historic village of Pomarance in the province of Pisa, this ancient Tuscan exposed-stone country house is available for purchase fully restored. The property encompasses a total built area of approximately 552 sqm across the main residence and an ensemble of agricultural outbuildings, nestled within an unbroken estate of roughly 37 hectares of irrigated, fertile land. Reached along a short and convenient 300-meter country lane, the estate delivers absolute peace and privacy just minutes away from the thermal springs of Bagnolo. The primary dwelling offers 265 sqm of functional living space on two levels crafted in authentic rural Tuscan style, framed by a landscaped garden, cellars, storage warehouses, a traditional wood-fired oven, a two-story barn, and agricultural outbuildings providing substantial redevelopment potential for agritourism or boutique hospitality. Interior Layout and Technical Specifications: The primary farmhouse preserves the core elements of classic Tuscan architecture, including terracotta vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork, natural stone accents, and generous rooms framing rural views. On the ground floor, the main entrance opens into an expansive hallway connecting an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room centered around a rustic open fireplace, a bright double reception living room, a powder bathroom, and a practical storage pantry. The upper level, accessible via both an internal staircase and a classic external loggia-style stair, features the sleeping quarters with five large double bedrooms and a full bathroom with bathtub. Central heating is powered by a wood-burning boiler supplying radiators in every room, complemented by air conditioning heat pump splits and a dedicated electric boiler for domestic hot water. Solid wood window frames feature thermal double glazing, internal shutters, and insect screens. Water infrastructure relies on a three-way supply combining public municipal water, a private borehole well, and a 5,000-liter storage cistern, served by an Imhoff septic system. Agricultural Estate, Equestrian Grounds and Outbuildings: The 37-hectare contiguous landholding represents an exceptional agricultural and lifestyle asset. The grounds feature a mature olive grove with approximately 1,000 productive trees delivering high-grade extra virgin olive oil, irrigated arable acreage, coppice woodland, and an ancient vineyard currently dormant but prime for replanting. An 8-hectare perimeter section is fenced and developed for horse keeping, complete with field shelters, paddock areas, and dedicated watering facilities. The farm courtyard houses several functional outbuildings offering substantial built volume: historic wine cellars, storage spaces, an authentic outdoor wood-burning bread oven, a traditional hay barn, an open machinery shed, and a further rustic annex ready for final refurbishment. These outbuilding volumes offer ideal adaptability for conversion into independent guest apartments, tasting rooms, olive oil processing labs, or wellness suites.

For restored stone estates with over 30 hectares of land and convertible agricultural volumes, market prices range between €1,800/sqm and €2,400/sqm for the residential core, complemented by land values for productive acreage (between €8,000 and €15,000 per hectare for arable and olive parcels) and value attributed to outbuildings. From an income generation perspective, an estate of this size enables multiple synergistic revenue streams: direct sales of certified extra virgin olive oil from 1,000 trees, equestrian agritourism or horse livery services, and rural holiday accommodation. By operating agritourism hospitality across the five existing double bedrooms and converting outbuildings into independent suites, gross annual operating revenues are estimated between €65,000 and €110,000, corresponding to an estimated gross yield between 6.4% and 7.9%. Tourist and Territorial Information: Pomarance stands as one of the most distinctive destinations in the province of Pisa, steeped in Etruscan and medieval history and celebrated as the green capital of geothermal energy in the Upper Cecina Valley. The surrounding countryside is dominated by the Fortress of Sillano (Rocca di Sillano), a 12th-century military fortress perched on a strategic height offering views stretching across the Metalliferous Hills toward the Mediterranean Sea. A short distance from the property lie the ancient Bagnolo thermal springs, natural hyperthermal pools celebrated since Etruscan and Roman antiquity for their sulfurous properties. Nearby Larderello hosts the world-renowned Geothermal Museum, chronicling pioneer energy exploration amidst the smoking fumaroles of the Valley of the Devils, an otherworldly setting that inspired Dante Alighieri in his Inferno. Within thirty minutes by car, one can explore Volterra with its Etruscan gateways and alabaster craftsmanship, San Gimignano, and the protected wilderness of the Monterufoli-Caselli Nature Reserve.
