Farmhouse, 236 m²

Asciano, Siena (province)

There are places where time seems to have stood still, waiting for someone able to listen to its silence and give it back its voice. Podere Caggio is one of these: a fragment of history set along the ancient "Via della Torre a Castello", where the landscape of the Crete Senesi meets the magic of the Sulphur Baths.
The origins of this property are lost in a remote era. Already listed in the prestigious Leopoldine Cadastre, the Podere has crossed the centuries, preserving intact the charm of homes of another time. It is not just land, but a piece of Tuscany waiting to shine again, in the setting of the Crete Senesi; a rural estate made up of a complex of three buildings to be restored, surrounded by 36 ha of land.
Going into the details of the volumes, the property offers a main farmhouse of approximately 727 cubic meters, accompanied by two annexes: a former barn of 188 cubic meters and an oven/stable of 168 cubic meters. All three buildings are currently in a ruin state and require a total reconstruction and restoration intervention (it should therefore be noted that the volumes indicated above, given the advanced deterioration of the buildings, are purely indicative, as the structure is lacking roofs, floors and even entire walls, the surface is neither walkable nor measurable according to the standard criteria of habitable properties. This is therefore an "approximate" measurement of the ground projection or of the existing perimeter walls).
The opportunity to manage the works from scratch offers the freedom to redistribute the spaces and apply modern construction and energy technologies.
Framing the buildings are 36 hectares of privately owned land. Since it is largely intended for arable and woodland use, this extensive plot not only guarantees seclusion and total privacy for the future residence, but also provides the ideal operational base for those who need to start or expand an agricultural business.
The property is in a dilapidated condition and requires a complete restoration, however it offers a rare opportunity for those wishing to create an authentic and personal project, with broad freedom of architectural and design interpretation.
Near the main farmstead there is connection to the water mains and an independent methane gas system to be reactivated. The property also benefits from its own spring.
Thanks to its location immersed in the Crete Senesi and the complete freedom of intervention guaranteed by its current state of ruin, the property offers several development prospects. On one hand, it is suited to the construction of a spacious bespoke private residence, ensuring maximum privacy thanks to the ample surrounding land. On the other, it represents an excellent base for an hospitality or agritourism project.
The true soul of Podere Caggio is its panoramic position. Set on a wide natural terrace overlooking the valley, the estate is bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk. Located in the Crete Senesi, it offers complete countryside tranquillity without giving up the convenience of services. The nearest reference village is Asciano, reachable in about 10 minutes by car. About 15 minutes away is Rapolano Terme, famous for its thermal baths, while the center of Siena can be reached in just over 30 minutes by car (about 30 km).
As for air connections, the two most practical and well-served airports in the region are Florence Airport, reachable by car in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
