Horse farm in Northern Italy

At an altitude of 550 meters on the northern side of the Apennine mountain range, we find this charming horse farm with 12 hectares of land. A very successful agriturismo (Oak Wood Ranch) has been run on the farm since 2017 and the business consists of horses, sheep and chickens as well as own crops.
The ancient stone house from 1900 consists of three floors. On the lower level we find a large, very charming living room where a large number of people can fit along the classic long table. On the lower level there is also a fully equipped restaurant kitchen, two rooms that are used as a bedroom/storage room and a TV room and adjacent to these a bathroom. The large hall can be separated with a retractable glass wall.
On the upper floors there are a total of four double rooms, all with genuine and rustic details preserved. All bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden and overlooking the valley.
The farm offers an indescribably beautiful panoramic view of the valley and is truly an oasis of greenery, peace and harmony.
Below the house there is a very nice spa area with a 220×220 jacuzzi, sunbeds and a wood-burning sauna with a panoramic window towards the valley.

It is also the seller’s intention to assist the buyer with all the necessary information for him to be able to run the agriturismo according to the bureaucratic rules that apply in Italy. This is a unique opportunity for those who dream of running a farm/agriturismo in Italy.
The Oak Wood Ranch business was started in Sweden in 2009 and moved to Italy in 2017. The business has been profitable and successful ever since it started and is basically fully booked throughout the season, which runs from mid-March to mid-November.

THE NEARBY AREA

Cerondolo is a small, authentic mountain village in the municipality of Toano, set in the scenic Apennines of Reggio Emilia near the border with Tuscany. The area offers a beautiful, unspoiled landscape of forests, rolling hills, and wide mountain views.

The village is defined by traditional stone houses, narrow lanes, and a close connection to nature. Life follows a slower, seasonal rhythm, with cool summers and quiet, occasionally snowy winters—ideal for those seeking relaxation بعيد from urban life.

Toano, nearby, provides essential services such as shops, cafés, and restaurants. Local traditions remain strong, with markets and seasonal festivals playing an important role. The surrounding countryside is shaped by small farms producing regional specialties like cheese, cured meats, and chestnut products.

Outdoor life is central here. Hiking and cycling routes start directly from the village, crossing forests and mountain paths. The area is especially popular with hikers and nature lovers, particularly during autumn mushroom and chestnut season.

Despite its peaceful setting, Cerondolo is within easy reach of cities like Reggio Emilia and Modena, as well as Tuscany, making it both secluded and well-connected.
