Description
Beautiful farmhouse estate in the hills of Montecatini Val di Cecina, featuring a swimming pool, over 86 hectares of land, and stunning views over the Tuscan countryside.
Set in a private panoramic position overlooking the hills of the Val di Cecina, this historic Tuscan estate with swimming pool and more than 86 hectares of land is now for sale.
The origins of the property date back to the mid-18th century, when the estate was built to house the families working the surrounding farmland. The area itself has much older roots: these hills once formed part of the Etruscan territory of Volterra and later belonged to the Barons of Casaglia from the 1700s onward. In 1932, an Etruscan tomb belonging to an important local family was discovered within the estate’s woodland and is now preserved at the Archaeological Museum of Cecina.
The estate includes several buildings with a total surface area of approximately 1,000 sqm.
The main farmhouse retains the authentic character of traditional Tuscan rural homes. On the ground floor there is a traditional kitchen, a spacious vaulted hall — ideal for receptions and events — and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
The upper floor features two independent apartments: the first with a kitchen, living room, and one bedroom; the second with a kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms. Adjacent to the main building are two additional structures housing three independent studio apartments.
The property is surrounded by more than 86 hectares of land, including approximately 4.5 hectares of olive groves and around 60 hectares of arable land cultivated with durum wheat and oats.
A beautifully maintained garden surrounds the 14 x 7 metre infinity pool with solarium area and exceptional views over the Tuscan countryside.
STATE AND FINISHES
In 2010 the property underwent a careful restoration that preserved the authentic character of the traditional Tuscan farmhouse. Original features such as exposed wooden beams, brick vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, and stone details within the interior walls have been retained and combined with modern comforts.

Water supply is provided both by the public aqueduct and a private well; the system also includes rainwater collection used for irrigation purposes.
