Description

In the enchanting Tuscan countryside of Casole d’Elsa, about 30 km west of Siena, nestled among gentle hills and dense oak and chestnut forests, lies a small medieval hamlet steeped in a thousand years of history.
Its ancient walls tell the stories of those who once lived in this fairytale setting over the centuries. Although the name of the place recalls Etruscan origins, the earliest written record dates back to the year 994, when the entire hamlet was gifted by a local nobleman to his wife as part of their marriage union. Its proximity to Siena shaped its past as a fortified castle, forming part of the defensive line of strongholds that stretched along the Montagnola hills to protect the Sienese state.

The history of this hamlet continued through the centuries, reaching into more recent times during World War II, when local farmers hid a Jewish family from Nazi persecution by falsifying their documents. In 2019, these farmers were honored by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as Righteous Among the Nations. CENTURY 21 Skyline is proud and honored to present for sale this extraordinary and truly unique property.

The estate consists of 14 buildings, including two towers, the main palazzo, and the church dedicated to Saint Peter with its rectory. All of the structures feature the typical mixed-stone masonry of the area. While some buildings have long been abandoned, others were inhabited until only a few decades ago; as such, the restoration required to make the hamlet fully usable again will vary in complexity from one structure to another.

The total built surface amounts to approximately 6139 square meters, while the estate extends across more than 50 hectares of surrounding land, composed of dense woodland with centuries-old trees, arable fields, olive groves, and orchards. Despite its more recent rural use, the property is perfectly suited to be transformed into an exclusive residential or hospitality complex, centered on wellbeing in nature, enriched by its authenticity and remarkable history.

The area of Casole d’Elsa, a charming town just a few kilometers away, is internationally renowned for its upscale tourism development in recent years, thanks to the wealth of resources this region offers, its extraordinary historical heritage, and its remarkable biodiversity.
