In the very heart of Tuscany, on the border of the National park of Foreste Casentinesi, are sited two precious properties that are for sale: one farm, the Fattoria il Cerreto, and one villa, the Villa il Poggiolo.
Their location, within the green valley of Casentino, a few chilometers away from Florence, Arezzo and the adriatic coast, allows the residents to benefit both from the tranquillity and freedom of the countryside life and from the comforts of the closeness to urban centres.
Casentino valley
The Casentino valley is a green oasis between Florence and Arezzo, on the gently slopes of the Apennines. It is entirely crossed by the Arno river, that flows, still uncontaminated, along this valley before reaching Florence and the Tirreno sea. Casentino is an fascinating area, full of charm and appeal: its medieval castles, the ancient rural villages, the colours of nature, the handicraft traditions, the passion for refined food, the care for the human and the spiritual wellbeing are features shared by the whole region of Tuscany. Yet Casentino has its special attributes: it is a relatively less known area, which has preserved the genuinity that many mass tourism sites have already lost.

The farm "il Cerreto" is sited close to the small village of Soci, three kilometres away from the village of Bibbiena (Arezzo province, Tuscany).
The land is almost completely farmable, and the lake provides enough water for any kind of cultivation.
The estates consist of a traditional rural settlement: the buildings are made of stone and are laid out in two rows, with a farmyard. The view overlooks the valley and the village of Soci. There are also a big cowshed and other minor annexes. There is a council permission to demolish the cowshed and turn it into residential estates. There also is the permission to increase the total cubic surface by 30%, either by setting up new houses or by enlarging the existing.
The farm is suitable for agricultural use, agritouristic or touristic destination, private use as a countryside leisure property, or for investors seeking for estate development opportunities.
