Description
LOCATION
Podere delle Rose is located in the heart of the Sienese Chianti, immersed in the absolute tranquility of the woods, the property is located in an area that is an extraordinary blend of nature and history. A magnificent farmhouse, with outbuildings and land, located at an altitude of 390 meters above sea level, completely in stone. The property can be reached by taking a white road, about 1,000 meters long. The arrival is suggestive, you are greeted by a gate decorated with climbing roses and the property faces the convenient parking lot. The farm is located just 18 km from the center of Siena and 40 km from Florence. This farm remains within reach of the small surrounding villages but at the same time remains in a detached position, guaranteeing absolute privacy and tranquillity.
GARDEN AND OUTDOOR SPACE
The owners' passion for roses has led them to create a rose garden that houses over 250 plants; many ancient roses, botanical, English and not only, organized in the paths that lead to the swimming pool, and to the large greenhouse where the most delicate plants are kept in winter. On one side of the garden there is an officinalis vegetable garden.
The 10 x 5 m swimming pool, built in 2013, is surrounded by a green lawn and has two infinity sides overlooking the woods and olive grove. At the ends of the pool area, two large covered pergolas surrounded by roses allow you to find refreshment from the sun. The surrounding land is partly intended for olive groves, orchards, vegetable gardens and the remainder for woods.
