Description
Charming farmhouse with panoramic views
This uniquely charming property is located in a panoramic position in the rolling Chianti hills. It can be reached by a short white road and about 300 metres of private road that allows total privacy.
The farmhouse, although having undergone several transformations over time, has maintained its unchanged charm; dating back to 1200, it was originally a watch tower used during the clashes between Florence and Siena, to become a classic country house at a later time. What makes it particularly charming is the large internal courtyard with wide porticoes, around which the entire property is built, boasting various entrances.
On entering we find a large entrance hall, a beautiful kitchen with a large fireplace and direct access to the covered loggia, ideal for outdoor dining, as well as a large utility room/laundry room. Down a few steps there is a delightful stone cellar. In the other wing is the living area with a large dining room, a sitting room with fireplace and a large living room adorned with large windows opening directly onto the pool. The finishing touches are very characteristic, with a beautiful handmade terracotta floor, internal doors made from the old wine vats and ceilings with exposed beams and rafters.
Walking along the wooden staircase we reach the sleeping area where there is a large Master Bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi. The room is very bright thanks to the presence of five windows and enjoys direct access to the inner courtyard. There are then three further double bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers and a walk-in wardrobe that could be converted into a further ensuite bathroom.
The property is surrounded by almost 18ha of land, mostly garden, woodland, olive grove and approximately 2.70ha of Chianti Classico vineyard. The private swimming pool, with an atypical shape, is located in an excellent sunny position with a wonderful view over the vineyards. Within the large garden, which surrounds the property on all four sides, there are various areas designed specifically for relaxation, offering the possibility of completely immersing oneself in the relaxing sounds of nature and enjoying moments of absolute tranquillity. The property is completed by a ruin in need of renovation that could become a beautiful guest or service staff annex.
The nearest town is about 3km away; here you can find all essential services such as supermarkets, bars, various restaurants, pharmacies, a first aid medical centre, ATMs, primary and secondary schools, buses, etc.
The historic centre of Florence can be easily reached in about 40 minutes, offering access to all the services and amenities typical of the city, including the airport, high-speed train station and shopping centres. In addition, Pisa airport is only an hour and a half away, further expanding the possibilities for international travel and connections.
