Details

Beautifully renovated 4 bedroom farmhouse with one bedroom annex, nestling in over 27 acres of glorious land with vineyards, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location in the Bibbiena area, Arezzo.

Outside, the property is surrounded by a 2,000 m2 fenced garden plus a small vineyard which has been planted with 1,200 plants of the Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Syrah varieties, complete with rights.

The services are all available in the nearby village (2km; 5') and the location of the farmhouse is very convenient for reaching most of the historic cities of Tuscany (Chiusidella Verna, Arezzo, Florence, Montepulciano, Siena). The natural context of the Casentino, made up of mountains and luxuriant woods, is very suitable for those seeking peace and tranquillity, with a wide choice of itineraries for walks and excursions.

The paved porch in the centre of the building leads to the main house
(180 m2, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), and the main door opens to the living room connected to the dining room and kitchen with a private back porch which leads to the pantry and laundry room.

At the corner of the living room there is a bathroom and the stairwell leading to the sleeping area. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The tower on the west side of the farmhouse, also accessible from the paved loggia, houses a charming studio flat (38m2, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) made up of living room/kitchen with bathroom and mezzanine with double bedroom.

The house is completed by various ancillary rooms (8m2) for the plant and systems, and a basement cellar (22m2) located under the tower. Next to the cellar there is a small room perfect for a workshop (10m2).

The large loggia between the two wings of the house (40 m2) is the perfect place to relax in complete tranquillity on hot summer days, and the large surface area also makes it very suitable for organising outdoor dinners with guests and friends.

The farmhouse is situated in the centre of a plot of land of about 11 hectares, covered to varying degrees by arable land and woodland. The trees that surround the building guarantee excellent privacy.

A small vineyard has also recently been planted (about 1,200 plants of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Syrah varieties), which could however be expanded using the parts of arable land that are still free.

The garden of the farmhouse (about 2,000 m2) is fenced and could house a swimming pool, built not too far from the building with sand-coloured flooring.

The road that reaches the farmhouse is mostly paved, except for the last short stretch (about 200 m) which is made up of a white road in excellent condition.

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.
