BORGO DEI BIZANTINI

Located a short distance from Arezzo, on the slopes of the Casentino, this real estate complex is offered for sale, distinguished by a high level of privacy and a commanding position. The property consists of a historic settlement whose origins date back to the 7th century, set within a preserved natural landscape.

The hamlet rises on a rocky spur at the confluence of two streams, occupying a site of strategic importance for millennia. The original core 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 incorporated over time 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 to optimize solar exposure, also functional for the photovoltaic system.

From the property, the view extends as far as Monte Penna, home to the Sanctuary of La Verna, lending the site a sense of peace and sacredness that makes it an ideal retreat for those seeking refuge from contemporary noise.

The estate extends over a consolidated surface of 112.2 hectares, a landholding that ensures complete privacy and control over the surrounding landscape. The land includes a productive chestnut grove and is divided between arable fields and pastures, suitable for organic or regenerative agriculture projects. The true added value of the property is an exceptional մշ perennial natural spring, located in the upper part of the estate, which together with the two watercourses ensures water self-sufficiency for any future development.
