An historic and important agricultural estate that flourished in the 1500s when it belonged to the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in Florence, which then went on to be owned by the Pucci family from 1783 to 1844 and then passed to the current noble family. Originally comprising many farmhouses contributing to the feudal system of mezzadria and gradually sold off, the property now comprises a villa with loggia and farm buildings with impressive and large cellars built in 1631. There is also a separate stable building on two floors. Now requiring total restoration with the potential to create a wonderful hotel or event location with restaurant. With a total of ca. 3.770 sq m set in a beautiful position, this fascinating building complex set around a courtyard adjoins a consecrated Roman church dating from 1028. The private internal courtyard along with many other features including a grand 1st floor terrace and loggia are still visible despite the precarious condition of some parts of the building.
There are 2 Ha of olive groves and pasture; beyond which are far reaching views over Chianti.
