Talla, Tuscany 52010

Located a short distance from Arezzo, on the slopes of the Casentino valley, this real estate complex is offered for sale, distinguished by exceptional privacy and a commanding position. The property consists of a historic settlement whose origins date back to the 7th century, set within an unspoiled natural environment. The hamlet stands on a rocky spur at the confluence of two streams, occupying a site of strategic importance for millennia. The original nucleus includes a church with Greek architectural influences, bearing witness to the ancient outpost of the Byzantine corridor between Ravenna and Rome. The buildings, totaling over 2,200 sqm, have gradually incorporated an ancient castle that once guarded the connections between the Cassia Vetus and the Via Romea. The structures are oriented along an east-west axis, a configuration designed to protect against northern winds and optimize solar exposure, also ideal for photovoltaic systems. From the property, the view extends as far as Monte Penna, home to the La Verna Sanctuary, giving the site a unique atmosphere of peace and spirituality that makes it an ideal retreat for those seeking refuge from contemporary noise and distractions. The estate extends over a contiguous surface of 112.2 hectares, a landholding that guarantees complete privacy and full control over the surrounding landscape. The land includes a productive chestnut grove and is divided between arable land and pasture, suitable for organic or regenerative farming projects. The true added value of the property is an exceptional perennial natural spring located in the upper part of the estate, which, together with the two watercourses, ensures complete water self-sufficiency for any future development.
