Tuscany - Rustic, cozy, secluded 3.5-room house with olive grove, fireplace, and land

Charming Tuscan house with an olive grove in a quiet location in Italy, in the Tuscany region, in the municipality of Massa Marittima, in the village of Prata.

Nestled in the unspoiled countryside of the Tuscan Maremma, near the small village of Prata (58024), lies this charming home with approximately 60 m² of living space and a spacious lot totaling approximately 1,890 m².

The building consists of two separate units. The half of the house offered here features its own living area and shares the building only with one other owner. This means there is only one immediate neighbor, who, according to the owner, is present on the property only occasionally. An interesting property for anyone looking for a cozy retreat in Tuscany surrounded by nature and with their own land.

The House

The approximately 60 m² of living space is distributed across a total of approximately 3.5 rooms. The heart of the house is the spacious living area, measuring approximately 4.50 x 8.00 meters. A fireplace or stove provides the typical cozy atmosphere of a Tuscan country house, especially during the cooler months.

The separate kitchen measures approximately 2.50 x 3.50 meters and is equipped with, among other things, a double sink and cooktops.

Water and electricity are available. A TV connection and the necessary equipment are also available.

The property also includes an additional garage/basement room, which offers practical storage and other uses.

Property and Private Olive Grove

A special highlight is the approximately 1,890 m² property. It features around 40 olive trees, allowing the future owner to tend to their own small Tuscan olive grove and—depending on the harvest and care—produce their own olive oil.

The combination of the olive grove, garden, and farmland creates a typical Tuscan atmosphere and offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors.

Access is primarily via a paved road. Only the final stretch leading to the property is along an unpaved gravel path.

A little piece of authentic Tuscany

This property is particularly suited for buyers who aren’t looking for a large estate, but rather an authentic and manageable retreat in Tuscany with its own land and olive trees.

With approximately 60 m² of living space, about 1,890 m² of land, and roughly 40 olive trees, the house offers a wonderful foundation as a vacation home, second home, or small residence in the Maremma. The quiet location, the private olive grove, and the close-knit neighborhood give this property its unique character.

The property is located in the idyllic surroundings of Prata, a small historic mountain village in the municipality of Massa Marittima in the province of Grosseto. Here, in the heart of the Colline Metallifere of the northern Maremma, Tuscany reveals its most authentic side: forested hills, olive groves, Mediterranean vegetation, and small medieval villages define the landscape.

Prata itself is a quintessential Tuscan village with historic roots. Particularly worth seeing are the medieval Cassero Senese, the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, the church of San Sebastiano della Misericordia, and the Oratory of Madonna della Fonte Vecchia, nestled in the surrounding woods.

The location is ideal for anyone seeking peace and nature, yet wanting to quickly reach Tuscany’s cultural and scenic highlights.

Massa Marittima – one of the jewels of the Maremma

One of the most important destinations for day trips in the immediate vicinity is Massa Marittima. This medieval town is considered one of the most beautiful historic sites in southern Tuscany.

In the center lies the impressive Piazza Garibaldi with the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral of San Cerbone. Other attractions include the Torre del Candeliere, the Cassero Senese, the Fonte dell'Abbondanza with its famous medieval fresco, the Palazzo del Podestà, and various archaeological and art history museums.

The winding alleys, small shops, restaurants, and cafés also make Massa Marittima a popular destination for a leisurely stroll through town.

Lago dell'Accesa – Nature and Etruscan History

A special natural attraction in the region is Lago dell'Accesa, an idyllic lake nestled in the Mediterranean landscape. Its clear waters and natural surroundings make it a popular destination, especially in the summer.

There is also a significant archaeological site right on the lake. Remains of Etruscan settlements and tombs have been discovered here, creating a unique blend of nature and history.

The Sea and Beaches of the Maremma

The Tuscan coast is also easily accessible from Prata. Around the Gulf of Follonica, visitors can enjoy long sandy beaches and numerous opportunities for swimming and water sports.

The coastal landscapes around Scarlino, Punta Ala, and Castiglione della Pescaia are also particularly charming. This makes it easy to combine the peaceful life of the Tuscan countryside with regular days at the beach.

Gavorrano and the Mining History of the Maremma

The entire Colline Metallifere region is closely tied to its centuries-old mining history. In and around Gavorrano, you can visit former mines, museums, and geological landmarks. Of particular interest are the Ravi Marchi mine and the various facilities dedicated to the region’s mining history and geology.

Monterotondo Marittimo and the Biancane

Monterotondo Marittimo offers an extraordinary natural experience in the Biancane area. Here, Tuscany’s geothermal activity is clearly visible: natural steam vents, warm ground, and mineral deposits create an unusual landscape.

The area is part of the UNESCO Colline Metallifere Geopark and is an interesting destination for hikes and nature excursions.

Montieri and San Galgano

The medieval town of Montieri, with its historic buildings and surrounding forests, is also worth a visit.

One of the most famous attractions in the wider area is the impressive Abbazia di San Galgano. The medieval abbey is now roofless and is considered one of the most extraordinary religious buildings in Tuscany. The nearby Montesiepi hermitage is also home to the famous “Sword in the Stone.”
