Detached villa for sale in Scarlino

LIVING IN A 13TH-CENTURY CHURCH WITH A SEA VIEW A HOME THAT TIME WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CREATE There are prestigious properties. And then there are places that tell over eight hundred years of history. In the heart of the Scarlino hills, just minutes from the beaches of the Gulf of Follonica, an ancient 13th-century church has been transformed into a refined private residence, retaining all the charm of its origins and offering the comforts of a home designed to be lived in. Surrounded by approximately 2 hectares of private land with over 200 olive trees, the property dominates the landscape with a splendid view that, on clear days, opens up all the way to the sea. Here, luxury is defined by privacy, silence, and authenticity. These values are increasingly difficult to find. WHEN ALL PROPERTIES ARE SIMILAR Many prestigious homes offer large spaces, quality finishes and exclusive locations. Few, however, can tell a story spanning more than eight centuries. Those who choose a property like this aren't simply looking for a home. They're looking for a place with a distinct identity, a place that excites every time it's lived in, and one that maintains its value over time precisely because it's impossible to replicate. This former medieval church represents an opportunity for those who wish to stand out. A STORY THAT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE The house has a cadastral surface area of approximately 183 m2 spread over several levels. The spaces include an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, a double bedroom, two bathrooms, ancillary rooms and an internally connected basement. The renovation, carried out in the early 2000s, involved the structural consolidation of the building, the re-roofing, the updating of the technological systems, and the creation of superior finishes, while maintaining the building's historic character intact. The generous internal heights also offer the possibility, subject to urban planning and building inspections, of creating an elegant mezzanine with additional bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The basement also has features that allow for potential repurposing to expand the living space, create a wellness area, a private study, or guest rooms. A historic building that also leaves room for the plans of those who will live there. EXPERIENCE THE MOST AUTHENTIC MAREMMA The location is one of the property's major strengths. Located on the hills of Scarlino, one of the most charming villages in the Tuscan Maremma, it allows you to live immersed in nature without sacrificing proximity to the sea and essential services. The beaches of the Gulf of Follonica can be reached in about 20 minutes by car. Punta Ala is about 30 minutes away, Castiglione della Pescaia about 40 minutes, and Grosseto about 45 minutes. Siena can be reached in about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and Florence in about 2 hours. The closest airports are Pisa, about 1 hour and 40 minutes away, Florence about 2 hours away, and Rome Fiumicino about 2 hours and 30 minutes away. Access to the property is via a private farm road of approximately 2 km, a feature that helps ensure a level of privacy that is now increasingly rare. A PROPERTY THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW FASHIONS There are properties built to be sold. And then there are properties destined to be passed down. The thick stone walls, the characterful rooms, the open views stretching to the Gulf of Follonica, and the natural setting make this residence something profoundly different from traditional homes. It is the ideal choice as a main residence, a representative home, or an exclusive holiday home in the heart of Tuscany. Because buildings like this can never be built again. They can only find a new owner.
