The present study aims to identify, analyze, an‎d develop a conservation plan for the Gavart Agricultural Complex, located in the eastern part of Isfahan. As a representative example of a historic residential farm, the complex embodies significant architectural, lan‎dscape, social, an‎d economic values, yet over time has been exposed to physical deterioration, functional decline, an‎d the disruption of cultural continuity. The research employs an interpretive-historical methodology, grounded in archival an‎d field studies, as well as advanced documentation technologies such as photogrammetry an‎d three-dimensional modeling. Through an examination of historical records, morphological patterns, an‎d the spatial configuration of the farmstead, the study identifies an‎d analyzes the agents of threat an‎d deterioration, an‎d formulates a framework for its gradual conservation an‎d revitalization. The findings indicate that the conservation of such historic agricultural estates requires an approach that simultaneously ensures the authenticity of the physical fabric, the revival of traditional agricultural systems, an‎d the enhancement of the site’s socio-cultural role within its rural context. The proposed revitalization plan is founded upon the heritage values of agricultural lan‎dscapes an‎d emphasizes community participation, aiming to safeguard the historic identity of the site while fostering its cultural continuity an‎d long-term sustainability.
