Description
Just outside San Gimignano, in an extremely panoramic position overlooking the historic center of the town, farmhouse with land for sale. The property (347 sqm) is in excellent structural condition and already habitable (204 sqm): however, there is a renovation project to convert the old cellars into a nice independent apartment (143 sqm), bringing the total number of rooms to 6. Around the farmhouse then lies 3.4 ha of land that includes a garden and 190 olive trees.
The property is less than a kilometer from the historic center of San Gimignano with its imposing towers and alleys still intact in their original layout. The location of the house is very convenient for getting around all of Tuscany, and both Florence and Siena are less than an hour's drive away.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (347 sqm – 3,734 sqft, up to 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) consists of two distinct areas. On the ground floor is the dwelling, in good condition and perfectly habitable. On the basement floor, on the other hand, are the old stables, in need of renovation and partially underground.
The dwelling consists of a spacious dining room with open kitchen, living room, master bedroom with private bathroom, three double bedrooms and a service bathroom.
The cellars, on the other hand, consist of four storerooms with entrances from the outside and two large underground rooms that were once used as cellars. There is a renovation project to convert the warehouse into a small independent dwelling that would consist of a living room, dining room with open kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Next to the farmhouse is a small storage (12 sqm – 129 sqft) where tools for the maintenance of the garden and olive trees can be sheltered.
EXTERIORS
The farmhouse is completed by 3.4 hectares (8.4 acres) of land, arranged on the slope that descends north from the building. A large wooded garden (2,800 sqm) with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Tuscan countryside has been created around the building.
The agricultural land, on the other hand, includes an olive grove (about 1.0 ha with 190 trees), arable land (1.5 ha) and small wooded areas (0.5 ha) on the property boundaries. The arable land could easily be used to plant new olive trees or even vines, given the wine vocation of the area.
