Roccastrada, Tuscany 58036

The estate is a magical oasis of olive groves, vineyards, lavender fields, meadows, and woodland, spread over 5 ha at 400 masl. It offers stunning views over the Maremma plain, stretching to the sea where Elba, Giglio, and even Corsica appear on clear days. Two charming stone houses and various outbuildings sit among flower-filled meadows, fruit trees, a biotope, and a biodynamically cultivated vineyard. Most of the land is fenced to protect the vegetable garden from wildlife. Cozy nooks under cork oaks, holm oaks, and strawberry trees, along with a pond and lavender biotope, invite you to unwind and watch nature at its best. A special trail features 40 unique natural artworks by a local artist. The (8 x 5 m) solar-heated saltwater pool is perfect for cooling off in summer, while a fire-heated hot tub makes winter days extra cozy. In 2019, an overgrown vineyard was cleared to create a beautiful lavender grove, a new vineyard with Petit Manseng, Mourvdre, and Grnache grapes (ready for harvest in 2025), and a reed biotope. Additionally, a separate 10-hectare plot 2.3 km away, with olive grove (4.6 ha), meadows, and woodland, ensures the land qualifies as an Azienda Agricola . The estate is also a small working farm, where lavender and rosemary essential oils are distilled, olive oil is pressed, and honey is harvested. Sustainability is a priority, with solar panels, a photovoltaic system, and a commitment to using natural, eco-friendly products. A true haven for animals, this peaceful retreat is home to freely roaming dogs, cats, chickens, peacocks, and bees. With space for more animals on pasture, a self-sufficient lifestyle is easy to embrace here. A charming village just 1.5 km away, accessible by dirt road or hiking trail, offers two grocery shops, a bakery, two bars, a restaurant, and a post office. In a nutshell: A vast, peaceful retreat where nature and tranquility come together. Lovingly cared for, its a place to relax, recharge, and escape the outside world. Since 2017, the current owners have been dedicated guardians of this special haven, tending to it with passion and care.Distances: closest village 1.5 km, Roccastrada 10 km, Grosseto 30 km, Follonica 38 km, Punta Ala 53 km, Siena 62 km, Porto Santo Stefano 80 km, Florence 134 km.
