Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Large Tuscan estate with 12.14 ha organic vineyard, pool and park; photos and text suggest a usable property but the listing does not state a formal renovation status. Asking €1,980,000 (≈€1,660/m²; effective ≈€1,860/m² assuming €200/m² upgrades) is about 3.7× the regional median of €500/m², placing it well above typical bargains in this catalogue.
More on the house and the area
A beautifully restored Tuscan stone farmhouse with original beams, terracotta floors and brick arches, private park, pool and a 12.14 ha organic vineyard — truly picturesque and clearly turnkey. The building and finishes look move-in ready, but this is a substantial estate with significant upkeep and operational costs to consider.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €133,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Very large estate with vineyard — high running, maintenance and management costs.
- Likely set up as an agriturismo/holiday rental so conversion to a sole-family layout could need adaptation.
- Asking price is well above 'bargain' range; not a low-budget purchase.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the Valdarno superiore, the upper Arno valley, with cultivated low hills and the Pratomagno range close to the east. The Arno runs through the valley floor. The Balze del Valdarno, eroded cliffs and pinnacles between Montevarchi, Terranuova Bracciolini and Castelfranco Piandiscò, are within this area and are one of the main named landscape features here. The nearest larger centres are Montevarchi itself and San Giovanni Valdarno, which provide the daily services and rail links of the valley; Arezzo and Florence are farther up and down the line. Loro Ciuffenna, on the lower slopes of the Pratomagno, has Bandiera Arancione status. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and the Valdarno landscape painted by Leonardo in the background of some works.
