Ribolla – Pian del Melo, just a few minutes from Lake Accesa: a barn dating from 1905 with a 1,000-square-metre olive grove, an open-plan living area and a mezzanine
Nestled in the tranquillity of the Pian del Melo hills, just a few minutes from Lake Accesa and the sea at Follonica, we are offering for sale a stone barn dating from 1905, which has been restored with great care by the owner, an architect and artist. The property comprises a dwelling of approximately 100 square metres on the ground floor and a spacious workshop with a separate entrance, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, as well as an open-plan space of approximately 125 square metres on the first floor, all set within approximately 1,000 square metres of land featuring an olive grove. Ideal as a charming residence, a peaceful retreat or a place to bring a creative or hospitality project to life. For full transparency: the change of use to a residential property has already been initiated and paid for, and the surveyor is currently finalising the paperwork; the workshop space (C/2) may be converted into a residential property by the buyer.
Write us Share on WhatsAppPian del Melo is a secluded hamlet in the municipality of Gavorrano, near Ribolla, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. Lake Accesa and the medieval village of Massa Marittima are just a few minutes away, whilst the Blue Flag beaches of Follonica and Scarlino are easily accessible. Siena and Florence are about 1 hour and 1½ hours’ drive away respectively.
The ground-floor flat, measuring approximately 100 square metres, comprises a living room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a travertine bathroom with underfloor heating, as well as a private side garden and a terrace overlooking the hillside, paved with tuff stones salvaged from the demolished walls. In the second bedroom, a sculpture of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals, preserves the rural heritage of the barn.
From the side entrance, surmounted by a sculpture bearing the construction date 1905, one enters the craft workshop: a second kitchen opening onto the terrace and a very spacious bathroom with a Venetian stucco shower. From here, a French cherry wood staircase, built entirely by hand by the owner, leads to the first floor: a large open-plan space of approximately 125 square metres with white-oiled oak parquet flooring, ceilings over 4 metres high and sandblasted exposed beams, complete with a craft area (now a dance/Pilates studio and art studio), a sitting room with seating made from wine barrel wood, organic cotton and natural fibre upholstery, a bedroom, a bathroom and a second wood-burning stove. A small oak staircase, over 200 years old, leads to the mezzanine.
During the restoration, the original arch was reopened, revealing a small statue of the Madonna, which has been left in its niche. Original stone and tuff walls, plastered brick walls, terracotta floors, larch windows and restored antique doors.
Outside, there is approximately 1,000 square metres of land with 9 olive trees and an irrigation system, plus a utility room with a heat pump.
