Country houses and farms for sale in Chianti

The Chianti countryside holds 321 country houses for sale, and the market has barely shifted in a decade. That says something. Buyers come here knowing exactly what they want: thick stone walls, original chestnut beams, an olive grove, a wine cellar dug into the hillside. Country houses in Chianti are not generic Tuscan real estate. They are a specific product, shaped by a territory that runs between Florence and Siena through Greve in Chianti, Panzano, Radda, and Gaiole. Most buyers are American, British, German or Dutch, many of them returning after years of summer visits. Castelnuovo Berardenga, on the Sienese side, is attracting growing international interest.

How much does a country house in Chianti cost

Prices start at TRY 828,485 for unrestored properties with limited land and reach TRY 35,269,790 for fully restored farmhouses with vineyard, wine cellar and panoramic pool. The average price sits at TRY 4,765,138. Living spaces range from 75 to 6000 sqm, averaging 787 sqm, with bedroom counts between 1 and 66. Land is the main driver of value. A country house with four hectares of Chianti Classico DOCG vineyard commands a premium that no amount of interior renovation can replicate. Restoration quality, guest annexes and hillside views follow close behind. But the detail that separates the most sought-after properties is simpler: distance from the road. The best country houses in Chianti are the ones you reach only after a kilometre of white gravel track. Privacy is not a bonus here. It is the product.
