DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
Farmhouse San Cristoforo (175 sqm –1,883 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), currently inhabited by the owners, is on two levels:

A few kilometers away is Farmhouse San Leonardo (235 sqm – 2,529 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms), used as a guest accommodation and divided into two apartments, one on each level:
- Apt. A: kitchen, living room with fireplace and two bedrooms with private bathroom;

A large sheep barn (1,100 sqm – 11,836 sqft, 1 bathroom) with attached barn (390 sqm – 4,196 sqft) and a warehouse (140 sqm – 1,506 sqft) for vehicles and equipment complete the property.
EXTERIOR
The property includes about 144.7 hectares (357.5 acres) of land. Of these, more than half are registered as arable land (85.0 ha) and exploited for raising sheep. The remaining part (58.8 ha), on the other hand, is covered by woods and shrubs.
The free surfaces of the farm could be used to plant a vineyard since it is very suitable soil for vines, as evidenced by the excellent wines produced in Val d'Orcia. Alternatively, more traditional crops such as legumes, wheat and cereals would find ideal soil to express themselves to the fullest.
