Description
Farmhouse in Chianti with swimming pool and amazing views
This dream Tuscan farmhouse has been recently renovated using high quality materials and respecting the authenticity of the past. Situated in a unique and evocative position, it enjoys amazing views. Even though the area is quiet and away from all noise, it is close to all the amenities and can be reached via an asphalted road. The perfect exposure allows you to enjoy the sunlight throughout the day and offers spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The view of the Chianti hills with olive groves and vineyards is spectacular. The property consists of the stone farmhouse and the barn. On the ground floor of the farmhouse, there is a large living room with fireplace, dining and living areas and direct access to the spacious outdoor loggia, equipped with Jacuzzi tub, sofas, table and chairs. From the loggia you access an external service bathroom and the laundry room. On the same floor, there is also the kitchen, a service bathroom, a TV room with bathroom and a large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. On the upper floor you can find six large double bedrooms, five of which have en-suite bathrooms, as well as an additional bathroom. On the second floor there is the “dovecote”, currently used as a bedroom, but there is the possibility of transforming it into a study or relaxation area. In the basement there is a cellar. The house is provided with air conditioning, mosquito nets on all the windows, alarm system and video surveillance. The barn, which is also on three levels, enjoys large openings and is currently in the unfinished state. This allows you to customise the spaces according to your own tastes and needs. Ideally, it would be converted into a guest unit with a large living room, kitchen and service bathroom on the ground floor, and two large double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom on the first floor. The basement can be used as a gym with spa area, or as a hobby room. From the ground floor of the barn there is access to the beautiful veranda equipped with table and chairs. The large infinity pool is equipped with gazebos and enjoys spectacular views and beautiful sunsets. The private garden, which extends on all four sides of the property, is fenced and impeccably maintained. The property is accessed via an electric driveway gate and has private parking and two covered parking spaces. Also part of the property is the surrounding land of approximately one hectare used as arable land and olive grove.
The property is located on the border between the municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle and the municipality of Certaldo, in a unique position, which allows you to enjoy amazing views over the hills with olive groves and Chianti vineyards. Although in a quiet area, far from the chaos of the city, the property is accessible via an asphalted road and all services can be reached in a few minutes by car. The property is situated about 6 km from the centre of Barberino Val d'Elsa, a medieval village inhabited by locals. Within a few minutes’ drive you can find restaurants, bars, supermarkets, shops, pharmacies, banks, post office and all essential services. In the immediate vicinity are the renowned Chianti wine cellars, the medieval villages of San Gimignano, Castellina in Chianti and Monteriggioni. Florence and Siena are about 30 minutes by car. The two cities are easily reached via the Florence-Siena motorway, which is about 9 km away. Florence airport is about 40 minutes away, Pisa airport about one hour and Rome Fiumicino airport about 2 and a half hours. Furthermore, just 3 km from the property is an ancient hamlet called Semifonte, once a fortified town, of which only the Chapel of San Michele, built in 1597 on the top of the hill to a design by the architect Santi di Tito, remains today.
