Description
Immersed in the rolling hills south of Florence, in a dominant and private position, this extraordinary portion of a charming farmhouse stands out for its timeless appeal and its harmonious integration with the surrounding natural landscape. The property is enveloped by a large terraced garden that opens like a true balcony over the greenery, offering enchanting views and an atmosphere of absolute tranquillity.
Passing through the entrance gate, a path leads to a clearing adorned with an elegant water-lily pond, from which one can admire the impressive stone structure of the farmhouse, whose origins date back to the year 1000. The outdoor spaces, meticulously maintained, are enhanced by well-equipped areas and a refined selection of Mediterranean vegetation, creating a setting of remarkable charm.
The residence is arranged over two levels, connected both internally and externally, offering a layout that is functional yet highly evocative.
On the ground floor, a sequence of reception and convivial spaces unfolds: a spacious double living room with fireplace, a distinctive kitchen featuring Sicilian majolica-tiled walls and a reclaimed raw marble sink, a private dining room, a second dining room, two sitting rooms, the atmospheric former bread oven room, as well as a guest bathroom and a storage room.
The upper floor hosts the sleeping area, comprising four double bedrooms, a large walk-in wardrobe room, four bathrooms, and two terraces—one of which is recessed—ideal for moments of relaxation overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The interiors preserve materials and finishes of exceptional quality: handmade terracotta floors in the bedrooms and reclaimed terracotta in the living areas; ceilings with exposed beams and bricks, treated in warm blond walnut tones or whitewashed with lime; walls partly left with rustic exposed stone and partly plastered and painted in soft natural hues of beige, ivory, and pale yellow. The large glass enclosure of the portico, custom-made by a local artisan, evokes the elegance of a period greenhouse, flooding the interiors with natural light.
One of the most captivating spaces in the property is a room that was originally a chapel, now enhanced by a mezzanine built at the end of the 19th century, accessed via an elegant lacquered wooden staircase.
The property is completed by a pergola ideal for al fresco summer dining, a former silo-granary fitted as a tool storage area, a garage of approximately 40 sqm, a technical room, and an extensive surrounding plot of about 36,000 sqm, ensuring privacy, nature, and a setting of rare beauty.
A residence of great character, perfect for those seeking to experience the authentic charm of the Tuscan countryside just minutes from the city.
