On the Tuscan hills between the beautiful cities of Florence and Arezzo, among the valleys that Leonardo Da Vinci wanted to paint as the background of his masterpiece, La Gioconda, just where you can still breathe the ancient traditions of the Tuscan land, lies this wonderful estate of 140 hectares, 11 of which are vineyards and 5 olive groves, as well as woods, pastures and arable land.Within it is a real farming village, complete with church, which bears at its heart a rare jewel of Tuscan architecture: a splendid 18th-century villa, with lemon grove, overlooking the beautiful view of the valley below that can be admired from the many windows and the large panoramic terrace.Surrounding the villa are 13 buildings, including masterfully restored cottages and farm outbuildings, some of which can easily be brought back into use with conservative restorations.Ancient cobbled streets connect the buildings and among them even the remains of a Roman road that connected the valleys in the past.The total buildings are around 4,800 square meters in addition to a large swimming pool.The whole complex could easily become a farm of excellence again since both the value of the buildings and the inherent features make this property not only beautiful but also unique as a location.*** LOCATION ***Civitella in Val di Chiana is a characteristic medieval village that stands on the top of a hill a handful of kilometers from Arezzo.This municipality is characterized by a very heterogeneous morphology of the territory, and in fact it is divided into two distinct areas: the low mountain area covered with forests that hosts Civitella itself, and the flat area, in which the most populated centers such as Badia al Pino, Pieve al Toppo and Viciomaggio are located.Its dominant position, at 525 meters above sea level, has made it historically important for garrisoning the city of Arezzo and central Italy in general.*** SERVICES ***AREZZO : 14 KMFLORENCE : 65 KMROME: 224 KMHIGHWAY :20 KMCIVITELLA: 7 KMLEVANE: 9 KMHistorical estate of 140 hectares in the heart of Tuscany
