Details

Charming farmhouse complex, presented in a rustic Tuscan style, ideally located in a quiet setting around 3km from the town of Barberino di Mugello in the province of Florence.

Situated in a panoramic position and made up of a generously sized farmhouse, apartment adjacent to a barn, habitable studio/workshop, large barn and several cellars.

The buildings are surrounded by approximately 8.4 hectares of land, of which 1.3 hectares are olive groves with 120 trees plus 1 disused olive grove, a walnut grove, 5,000m2 used as an orchard, 2,500m2 fenced for sheep, 1.4 hectares of truffle grounds and the remaining land is set to pasture and coppice.

Main farmhouse - 240m2: large entrance hall with a bar area and a beautiful fireplace, 2 living rooms, kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms with windows, 2 mezzanines and a closet.

Apartment - 65m2: currently leased with an annual transitional contract. It consists of a living room, bedroom, bathroom and closet.

Below the main house there are also 3 cellars of 24/10 and 6m2.

The independent barn (on the right in the square photo) is divided over 2 levels (75m2 on the ground floor for warehouse use and 40m2 in the basement for stable use), adjacent there is a room set up for residential use (green charges and of construction already paid) of about 50m2 + mezzanine.

There are also 2 ruined structures of 9m2 (former drying room) and 12m2 adjacent to the main house and referable to the urban cadastre.

The energy class is under construction and will be ready in the short term.

The property is also suitable for agricultural tourism investments or for the creation of a large customised rural space.

Some agricultural machinery and a very dated but functional tractor are also sold with the property.

The main house is in good condition because it underwent a major renovation in the 90s while the other buildings need customising and some renovation works.

Italy Property Buying Guide

1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.

2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)

The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.

3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)

The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.

4. Formalities to be observed after Completion

Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
