These leopoldine are just a few kilometers from Castiglion Fiorentino and Cortona, in the heart of Valdichiana. The buildings have been recently consolidated with a total remake of roofs and slabs and only need finishing touches. The complex (over 4,000 sqm in total) is an incredible investment opportunity for a luxury boutique hotel or a series of villas to be rented separately. Next to it, roughly 7.7 hectares of outdoor spaces allow the creation of gardens and parks for each of the villas. The closest services are encountered by taking the road towards Montecchio (roughly 2 km) or directly in the town (5km; 10'). Thanks to its location at the border between Tuscany and Umbria, the property is also convenient to reach the most renowned centers of the two regions (Arezzo, Montepulciano, Cortona, Siena, Florence, Perugia, Castiglione del Lago:). Villa San Luigi (520 sqm - 5,595 sqft) and Leopoldina San isidoro (1.160 sqm - 12,482 sqft) make up the first podere along the road branching from Montecchio. The two buildings are located next to each other and are the only ones showing signs of previous expansions: the leopoldina no longer has a square plan, having been almost doubled along one side and expanded with a later outbuilding on the right side of the facade. At the same time, the barn has been enlarged by adding a residential wing at one extremity, ending into what is, effectively, a villa. The original project for a boutique hotel to be created by restoring the leopoldine The other poderi, located on opposite sides of the road, are all made up of a leopoldina (usually intact in its original shape) and a barn, with variation only emerging when looking at the sizes. Specifically, we find podere San Benedetto (Leopoldina: 436 sqm - 4,691 sqft + Barn: 327 sqm - 3,518 sqft) on the same side as Sant'isidoro, while podere Sant'Agata (Leopoldina: 468 sqm - 5,036 sqft + Barn: 327 sqm - 3,519 sqft) and podere San Leopoldo (Leopoldina: 551 sqm - 5,929 sqft + Barn: 298 sqm - 3,206 sqft) are on the other side. Finally, between San isidoro and San Benedetto but on the opposite side of the road, was once podere San Giuseppe, virtually identical to the others in shape (but demolished in 1967). The buildings are no longer there but cadastral documents give a pretty clear idea of what the podere looked like. if interested, one could forward a plan to rebuild both the leopoldina (582 sqm - 6,262 sqft) and the barn (416 sqm - 4,476 sqft). in that case, the two buildings can benefit from modern construction techniques and better efficiency, while respecting the original look of the leopoldina. Valdichiana was, until the 16th century, a marshland, hard to cross and even harder to cultivate and exploit. Charts traced by Leonardo Da Vinci in its first attempt at reclaiming the land show how water from river Clanis had become stagnant in the valley. Started under the Medici, the huge process of reclamation was carried out by the Lorena family, under the guidance of Ferdinand iii and Pietro Leopoldo: between 1765 and 1790 works proceeded quickly and farmers started 'colonizing' the valley, building those farmhouses that soon after took the name of Leopoldine. These buildings were all designed following a basic pattern: a square plan, with a turret and a loggia on the ground floor. Currently, the buildings are in good structural shape thanks to a series of interventions carried out in recent times. inside, ceilings and slabs have been restored while the rest of the building is currently in builder's finish, so a potential buyer will have total freedom as far as finishes and systems are concerned.
