Description
L'Olio Bono Country House with pool, Montebenichi, Arezzo – Toscana
16-th century former farmhouse restored with pool, olive grove and Chianti vineyard for sale in Montebenichi, Tuscany. In the hills of Chianti Aretino, bordering Gaiole in Chianti and Castelnuovo Berardenga, Montebenichi is an ancient hamlet with a 12th-century castle, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level with spectacular views sweeping over the Crete Senesi to Monte Amiata to the south, Cortona to the east and Siena and the Chianti Classico hills to the west. In a idyllic location less than a mile from Montebenichi, on 16 acres of private ground surrounded by centuries-old oaks, olive trees and a beautiful garden with a panoramic swimming pool, Casale L'Olio Bono is an old stone former farmhouse renovated conserving its original 16-th century features, from the traditional gabled roof with terracotta tiles and bricks, the loggias and porticoes, the large brick arches, the exposed stone interior walls, the high ceilings with chestnut wood beams, terracotta floors and ancient. The conservative restoration has allowed the creation of three residences, one on the ground floor and two on the first floor, all different in type and with unique characters, designed with one or two bedrooms, living rooms with fireplaces and a handmade wooden and wrought iron loft. All windows give magnificent views, and like paintings, they frame each room. The ground floor retains the old cellar, a wood stove and areas that present great potential for further conversion. The top highlight of the farmland is the olive grove with 500 trees: due to its dominant position, the evo oil produced here is one of the most prestigious and refined in the whole Chianti and Tuscan area. A large garden and courtyard, 1.3 acres of Chianti DOCG vineyard and woodland complete the property, out of the 16 acres of private land 7.4 acres are fully fenced. In a dominant and reserved position, accessible by a less than one mile long gravel road where other traditional farmhouses are also located. Ideal as a private residence or for tourist rentals, Casale X is an enchanting place to regenerate and spend vacations enjoying nature, food and wine, and cultural visits to Tuscany's most beautiful art cities.
