La Gabella country house in Castel del Piano, Grosseto - Tuscany

A fully restored country house, efficient and energy class A3, with a swimming pool and century-old olive grove, is for sale in Castel del Piano, Grosseto. Nestled in the gentle hills at the foot of Mount Amiata, in a dominant and panoramic position, La Gabella is a stone farmhouse dating back to 1200. Its austere shape testifies to its origins, documented since 1215, as a border station for paying tolls between the Republic of Siena and the Church State. It is completely fenced in and can be reached after 1.3 km of well-maintained dirt road. Recently restored for residential and hospitality use, both the exterior and the interior are in plaster and stone; the ceilings have the typical wooden beams and terracotta tiles of rural Tuscan architecture, interspersed with stone arches that divide the living area into separate rooms. The floors are covered with beautiful handmade terracotta and ceramic tiles. The house is divided into four A3 and D energy class units, which are separate but can easily be joined together if required. The main apartment is on the first floor, while the ground floor is divided into a larger apartment and two mini-apartments. The farmhouse also has a cellar, a terrace that takes up the main façade, and a comfortable veranda overlooking the swimming pool. The pool has Roman steps and a paved solarium from which you can enjoy breathtaking views. The property is set on approximately 1 hectare of land, which includes a vineyard for internal production and an olive grove with 30-century-old olive trees. It is also possible to purchase the entire company, including a renowned oil mill and up to 16.8 hectares of land.
