Casale Marittimo
Prestigious property located in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, offering a panoramic sea view and situated a short distance from the charming medieval village of Casale Marittimo. A tree-lined avenue, flanked by pine trees, gently leads to the property, which consists of the main villa dating back to the early 1900s, featuring a square layout with Liberty-style elements such as marble columns at the entrance and balcony, along with several agricultural buildings.
The main villa boasts spacious interiors. The ground floor welcomes visitors with a large entrance hall, opening onto a living room with a stone fireplace, a dining room, and a separate kitchen. Additionally, this floor includes a bedroom, a bathroom, a second dining area with a secondary entrance, a hallway, and two storage rooms.
A grand wooden staircase gracefully leads to the first floor, where a cozy sitting area with parquet flooring and a spacious veranda with a panoramic terrace await. Four large bedrooms, one of which has direct access to the terrace overlooking the front of the villa, flank the sitting area. Two bathrooms and a storage room complete this level.
A short distance from the main villa, two agricultural buildings are found. The larger one, formerly used as stables, consists of a storage room, garage, and cellar, as well as a residential section with two rooms and a bathroom on the ground floor, and two bedrooms and another bathroom on the first floor, accessed via an external staircase. The smaller building serves as a tool shed.
The estate spans approximately 24 hectares of land with an irrigation system and an artesian well, mainly cultivated with olive groves (around 3,000 trees in production over 10 hectares), vineyards (1 hectare), arable land, and woodland. The average olive production is around 35,000 kg, while the vineyard yields approximately 6,000 kg of white grapes (Trebbiano, Malvasia varieties) and 2,000 kg of red grapes (Sangiovese variety).
