Description
Every property has one feature that makes it irresistible to the right buyer – Salciolo offers at least two: a prime vineyard producing Vino Rosso, Chianti Colli Senesi wine and an enviable panoramic setting in the rolling Tuscan countryside.
The property includes a traditional brick farmhouse with accommodation on the first floor and wine cellar, stable, and storage rooms on the ground floor. With sensitive renovation, the house could easily be transformed into a beautiful family home or a holiday retreat.
Surrounding the farmhouse are 6.7 hectares of fertile land, including a 1.265 ha. vineyard producing Vino Rosso, Chianti Colli Senesi , an olive grove with 180 mature trees, arable land, woodland, and a cluster of useful outbuildings. All essential farm equipment is included in the sale, making this a ready-to-go working farm in Tuscany.
Area:
The property sits just 1.5 km from Acquaviva, a lively village known for its food, wine culture, and proximity to some of Montepulciano’s most celebrated producers such as Bindella and Boscarelli. Acquaviva offers all daily essentials, from shops and cafés to restaurants, while the views from the house stretch across the Val di Chiana as far as Cortona, with Acquaviva’s skyline framed on the horizon.
Montepulciano (7.5 km) – world-famous for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and elegant Renaissance palazzi – is a cultural and gastronomic hub, attracting wine lovers and travelers from across the globe.
Within easy reach are several other Tuscan gems:
- Cortona (30 km) – a hill town of Etruscan origin, known for art, history, and breathtaking views.
- Pienza (20 km) – UNESCO World Heritage Site, famed for its architecture and pecorino cheese.
- Chianciano Terme (10 km) – popular for its thermal spas and wellness culture.
- Chiusi (15 km) – an ancient Etruscan city with excellent rail connections to Florence and Rome.
- Lago Trasimeno (30 km) – Italy’s fourth-largest lake, offering water sports, ferries to its islands, and lakeside dining.
This central location places the farm within easy reach of Florence, Siena, Perugia, and Orvieto, making it both a tranquil retreat and a well-connected investment.
