The upper floor is the old dovecote and offers a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view. The hamlet surrounding the villa (approximately 3,525 sqm - 37,929 sqft in total, to be partially restored) hosts the owner's residence (3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), the Agriturismo (8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms), the business offices, the wine cellar with processing and aging rooms, a manorial chapel, the old orangery, several agricultural annexes (storage houses, workshops and warehouses) and an ample hall (200 seats) which could be used as a restaurant (or breakfast room) or as a room for events and/or ceremonies. A bit farther from the main hamlet are located two more poderi to be restored and/or rebuilt. The first one is made up of the ruins of two buildings, once working as a brick factory. The volumes of the two buildings (roughly 600 cu.m in total) can be used to build new structures. The second one is an old rural podere with a breeding farm (2,420 sqm - 26,039 sqft, no longer working) which houses an ample stable, rooms for meat processing, the old offices and what was once the staff residence. The estate covers a total surface of 301.8 hectares. This land is covered in Orcia DOC vineyards (16.4 ha - 40.5 ac), olive grove (0.4 ha - 1.0 ac), mixed woodland (45.9 ha - 113.4 ac) and arable/grazing land (235.3 ha - 581.4 ac). The remaining 3.8 ha (9.4 ac) constitutes aprons, gardens and unused agricultural land. The vineyards, planted roughly ten years ago with a prevalence of Sangiovese vines, are registered as Orcia DOC: this means that harvested grapes can be used indifferently to produce Orcia DOC or Toscana Rosso iGT wines. in case one decided to produce only one of the two wines, the maximum production is calculated below (these numbers do not take into account external factors such as bad weather or natural disasters which could eventually compromise the production): - For Orcia DOC the production guidelines allow harvesting up to 8 tons of grapes per hectare, with a maximum wine yield of 70%. This means that, in a particularly good season, the estate could produce up to 120,000 bottles of wine per year (16.4 ha × 8 tons/ha × 70 % = 920 hl of wine). - For Toscana Rosso iGT the production guidelines allow harvesting up to 16 tons of grapes per hectare, with a maximum wine yield of 80%. This means that, in a particularly good season, the estate could produce up to 280,000 bottles of wine (16.4 ha × 16 tons/ha × 80 % = 2,100 hl of wine).
