Description
Medieval Castle with Private Church, to Be Restored in Montalcino, Siena - Tuscany
REF. MON123
In Tuscany, just 11 km from Montalcino (Siena), we offer for sale a 14th-century medieval castle with a private octagonal church and extensive surrounding land.
Surrounded by hills covered with vineyards and oak trees, the castle boasts enchanting panoramic views of the Crete Senesi and the typical landscape of Montalcino, which is only 11 km away. A driveway lined with centuries-old cypress trees leads to the imposing red brick structure, which stands 18 meters tall. The layout features two distinct blocks, with a central courtyard housing a well, while the cannon openings testify to its defensive function during the wars between Siena and Florence.
After 1453, the castle became the residence of a noble family who expanded the structure, adding an octagonal chapel. Despite the passing of the centuries, many of the original architectural features have remained intact, lending the property a timeless charm. The interiors retain brick walls, arches, colonnades, and frescoed ceilings, which tell the story of a bygone era. Currently, the complex has been abandoned for several decades. Although some reinforcement work has been carried out, a complete renovation is needed to bring it back to life, both for residential and hospitality purposes. A project approved by the relevant authorities is already available, designed to respect the landscape and architectural characteristics of the site, with particular attention to the choice of materials and decorative details. This extraordinary historic property in need of renovation offers a total surface area of 3,900 square meters and represents a unique opportunity to create: a luxury residence in Tuscany, an exclusive hospitality facility, a venue for private events and charming weddings.--7d631dbeacdc8106212d6028a362af07!
