Description
Historic villa with vineyard and private chapel for sale, in a beautiful panoramic position immersed in the typical Tuscan countryside, less than half an hour from Florence.
The property is one of the oldest in the area, with the original structure consisting of a watchtower built in the 9th century; it is composed of the manor house, built around the tower in the 16th century, a guest apartment and a service apartment with independent entrance, a private chapel, large cellars, external outbuildings including a barn to be restored and land that extends over an area of 15.3 hectares (37.8 acres), partly planted with vineyards and olive groves.
The main villa has a beautiful façade with a noble coat of arms and spreads over two main levels. The entrance from the garden opens into the beautiful living room with a characteristic fireplace, which leads to a relaxation room with bathroom, a private study, a dining room, a bedroom and a kitchen, also accessible from the internal courtyard. On the second floor, we are welcomed by a large room with billiards, connected to a bathroom in which we find an ancient stone arch, a master bedroom with bathroom, a large bedroom with access to the charming loggia with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, and two bedrooms. A few steps lead to a room characterized by a ceiling with exposed beams, currently used as a storage room but easily convertible into a lounge or a private studio. From the main living room it is possible to access the attic, perfect as a storage.
Two independent entrances lead to the guest apartments: the first consists of a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom; the second, on two levels, consists of five rooms and two bathrooms.
The private chapel has access from the garden and is enriched with original 19th-century decorations.
Among the outbuildings, the characteristic two-level barn stands out; it can be renovated and converted into a cozy “guest house”.
The large cellars consist of warehouses and service rooms such as the vat room, the “orciaia”, the area dedicated to the bottling of wine.
The villa is easily accessible from a well-maintained road and is located in a position overlooking the Arno river valley. The outdoor spaces are perfectly enjoyable, immersed in the colors and silences of uncontaminated nature. The garden in front of the main façade opens onto the valley and offers a spectacular view; the terraced garden, on the opposite side, is a perfect corner of privacy and relaxation.
