Completely renovated old Maremma farmhouse. Swimming pool and olive grove
Nestled in the serene countryside of Maremma, this historic estate offers a perfect blend of tradition and modern sustainability. Originally a customs house from the 1200s along the ancient transhumance route between Siena and Maremma, the property has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who acquired it in 1997 as a ruin.

A Historic Treasure Reimagined
The restoration preserved the estate’s original charm while incorporating modern, sustainable solutions. The main house features seismic-resistant structures, ventilated foundations and roofing, and rainwater collection systems stored in three underground cisterns.
The interiors showcase a refined rustic aesthetic, with exposed materials such as cement, brick, stone, and wood. Elegant finishes include handmade terracotta tiles, solid larch floors, and iron-framed windows. Multiple wood-burning stoves add to the cozy ambiance.
Flexible Living Spaces
The main house is thoughtfully divided into three independent apartments, each with a bedroom and private bath, easily reconfigurable into a single residence. An additional 76 sqm apartment in the annex expands the total accommodations.
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
The estate’s outdoor spaces are as inviting as its interiors. Verandas, pergolas, and terraces provide shaded areas for alfresco dining throughout the day, while the pool area boasts a wooden sun deck and a 30 sqm open-air lemon house with a wood-fired bread oven.
The sunsets here are breathtaking, offering panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside, the Argentario coastline, and nearby medieval villages such as Sticciano, Montepescali, and Vetulonia.
