Some houses have a history. This one is history: a parish church recorded in a papal bull of 1188, today a panoramic home with views of the sea and Mount Amiata, 3 km from Roccastrada in the Tuscan Maremma, province of Grosseto.

A twelfth-century church

The old parish church of Santa Maria still shows its true marks: two medieval capitals set into the walls of the apartments and a holy-water stoup built into an outer wall. In the private wood, the large ruin of the castle tells the rest of the story. Far from any source of pollution, wrapped in silence, half an hour from Grosseto and under an hour from Siena.

Three homes, one property

The portion for sale measures 250 sqm and is divided into three units. On the ground floor, two fully renovated apartments of 77 and 71 sqm: a large living room, double bedroom, single bedroom, bathroom and independent LPG heating. On the first floor, a spacious 105 sqm home in good condition with kitchen, dining room, two double bedrooms, bathroom, two wood-burning stoves and a wide terrace with external staircase, where the view reaches the sea. Ideal for an extended family, for hospitality, or to live in one unit and rent out the others.

Five hectares of Maremma

A large garden and a cool park of holm oaks, oaks and pines for the summer. An orchard of plum, cherry, pear, almond, apricot and persimmon trees. Two olive groves of 100 trees each, one on flat ground beside the house and one in a splendid panoramic position. One hectare of arable land with trees and two and a half hectares of Mediterranean coppice woodland. About 5 hectares in all.

Workspace and storage

Twenty metres from the house, a storage building of about 100 sqm in mixed metal and timber, with 6 separate rooms, each with its own access, and covered parking for 4 cars. On the ground floor, next to one of the apartments, a 16 sqm cellar. A tractor, farm tools and everything needed for the olive harvest come with the property.

A property to live in, or to share

Partial purchase is also possible. A twelfth-century church, three homes, two olive groves and a wood: authentic Maremma, with history under your feet.
