Barberaia — Understated Tuscan Beauty: A Unique Stone House in the Maremma with Stunning Views of Giglio and Elba
Set on the slopes of Roccatederighi, in one of the most unspoilt and atmospheric areas of the Maremma, this rare partly renovated 17th-century stone house offers something increasingly difficult to find in Tuscany: true privacy, authentic character, understated beauty, and a deep connection with the surrounding landscape.
Reached by a private road and set within about one hectare of chestnut trees, olive trees and cypresses, the property enjoys a commanding position, immersed in silence and nature, with wide open views across the Maremma countryside to the sea and the islands of Giglio and Elba.
This is not a standardised country home, nor a polished interpretation of rural Tuscany. It is a house of genuine personality, restored over time with sensitivity, coherence and a highly individual eye, preserving the spirit of the original building and the integrity of its materials.
The interiors are rich in atmosphere and texture: a distinctive stone kitchen with a hand-carved trachyte worktop, dining area, a bright living room with fireplace, a study with spectacular views, independent guest sleeping space, a striking principal bedroom with a large glass opening onto the woods and the landscape beyond, open-plan living space, and two bathrooms. Every room speaks the same language of substance, warmth and authenticity.
Original and carefully chosen materials define the house throughout: exposed stone walls, ancient beams, larch floorboards, terracotta, coloured cement flooring, solid iron window frames and handcrafted details. The systems were designed with unusual care and respect for the building, preserving its old-world integrity rather than forcing modern uniformity onto it.
Outside, the property is equally distinctive. A large chestnut-wood terrace projects over the valley; the garden is shaped by stone paths and dry-stone walls; a substantial barbecue has been created among the natural blocks of trachyte; and below the house there is a generous terracotta-paved courtyard with a second barbecue and a wood store. Everything feels rooted in the place, rather than added for effect.
The surrounding landscape remains genuinely wild and intact. Wildlife is part of daily life here: wild boar, porcupines, foxes, badgers, martens, and occasionally passing wolves. This is a property for those who do not seek a domesticated countryside, but a more truthful and quietly privileged relationship with nature.
Subject to the necessary authorisations, the generous grounds may also offer scope for extensions or alterations, allowing future owners to adapt the property in line with their own vision and creativity.

The house is sold including its furnishings, many of them bespoke or chosen in keeping with the spirit of the property.

This is not a house for buyers looking for standard comforts, predictable finishes, or an easily comparable property. It will speak instead to those who value privacy, timeless Italian character, natural materials, understated luxury and the rare beauty of a truly individual home.
Viewings will be arranged only for those with a genuine interest in a property of this nature.
