_Dream of renovating a farmhouse in Italy? Three rustic 'doer uppers' come to market in Tuscany
Sitting high in the Chianti hills, this four bedroom rustic farmhouse dates back to the 1900's and is ringed by lush forest, vegetation and plenty of private land.
The weathered stone walls and timber beams serve as a frame for the layout of the original main building that will need complete modernisation both internally and externally.
There are two single storey barns also requiring complete restoration which, once completed, might served as guest accommodation and a luxury pool house or artist's studio.
There is a further farmhouse a short distance above this property also for sale with a further 10 ha of land. Planning permission is already in place and water and electricity are on site.
The property is perched in the softly rolling hills 8km from the market town Gaiole in Chianti - the green heart of Tuscany fringed by fragrant olive groves and vineyards.
Siena and Florence are around a 25 km drive from the property.
