Immersed in a magnificent private park and surrounded by a picturesque woodland of pine and oak trees, this extraordinary property is a remarkable example of Tuscany's modernist architecture of the 1960s. Protected by a large gated entrance ensuring privacy and seclusion, the residence offers approximately 450 sqm of living space arranged over several levels, following the natural contours of the hillside.
Designed and built in the 1960s, the villa reflects the architectural language that characterised one of the most significant periods in Florentine and Tuscan architecture, drawing inspiration from the work of renowned architects such as Giovanni Michelucci, Leonardo Ricci and Leonardo Savioli. The use of concrete and glass, clean geometric lines, open-plan spaces and expansive glazed surfaces give the property a distinctive and instantly recognisable architectural identity.
From its very beginnings, the property has been a place of artistic expression and creativity, having hosted Italian and international artists, painters and sculptors who found in its generous spaces the ideal environment in which to live and work. This artistic heritage remains an integral part of the villa's character, with original paintings and artworks belonging to the first owner and to the various artists who have lived and worked here still displayed throughout the residence.
In 2025, the villa underwent an extensive restoration, carefully designed to preserve its original architectural identity while adapting the property to the requirements of contemporary living. The original spaces and proportions have been enhanced through the selection of materials and finishes in keeping with the character of the house, while incorporating modern and functional technological solutions.
The residence features underfloor heating, air conditioning throughout, high-performance energy-efficient windows and security systems. A photovoltaic system contributes to the property's energy independence.
The outdoor areas have been designed in keeping with the original architectural concept and further enhanced by the addition of a private swimming pool, complemented by an elegant Zen garden featuring lotus flowers and aromatic plants.

Tuscany - Florence - San Casciano in Val di Pesa
Tuscany, one of Italy's most iconic and breathtaking regions, embodies the essence of Italian beauty, culture, and tradition. Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, its landscape is a mesmerizing blend of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, sprawling vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages perched on hilltops. The region’s natural beauty is matched by its rich history, artistic heritage, and world-renowned culinary and wine traditions.
Wine enthusiasts from around the globe flock to Tuscany for its legendary wine production. The region is the birthplace of some of the most revered wines in the world, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Chianti, produced in the heart of Tuscany, is arguably the most famous, with its distinctive ruby-red color and bold flavors, while Brunello, made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, is one of Italy’s most prestigious wines, aging gracefully for decades. Wine routes, like the Strada del Vino in the Chianti region, allow visitors to tour centuries-old wineries, sample wines, and explore charming villages along the way.
Tuscany is also a haven for lovers of art and history. Florence, the region’s capital, is a cultural mecca, often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance. Its galleries and museums, such as the Uffizi and Accademia, house masterpieces from artists like Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. The iconic Florence Cathedral, with its massive dome designed by Brunelleschi, dominates the skyline, while the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge lined with jewelry shops, is one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.
Siena, another jewel of Tuscany, offers a different charm with its medieval architecture and rich traditions. The Piazza del Campo, known for the Palio, a centuries-old horse race held twice a year, is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. Siena’s Gothic cathedral, with its intricate black and white striped marble, is a stunning testament to medieval craftsmanship.
Further west, Pisa is home to the iconic Leaning Tower, but it also offers much more with its rich maritime history and the grandeur of the Piazza dei Miracoli. Lucca, known for its preserved Renaissance-era city walls, invites visitors to explore its quiet streets, where churches and piazzas surprise at every turn. SanGimignano, a medieval town famous for its many towers, gives visitors a glimpse of Tuscany’s feudal past and offers sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.
Tuscany’s landscapes are also dotted with thermal springs, such as the natural hot springs of Saturnia, providing a relaxing retreat after days of exploring. The coastline, too, with the Maremma region and the island of Elba, offers picturesque beaches and pristine waters, a contrast to the inland hills and vineyards.

Access to the property is through a large gated entrance, beyond which a private driveway leads to a covered parking area, featuring a cantilevered structure in keeping with the architectural style of the period.
From the parking area, a striking suspended walkway leads to the villa's entrance. Externally, the building presents a rectangular form with clean, minimalist lines, concealing a more complex interior layout that unfolds along the natural slope of the hillside.
The slightly recessed entrance is distinguished by a striking glazed door, offering an uninterrupted sightline through the house and beyond, towards the surrounding valley.
The main floor features a spacious open-plan living area, where the sitting room, dining area and kitchen blend seamlessly into one another. Floor-to-ceiling windows extend throughout the space, overlooking the swimming pool and surrounding greenery and offering beautiful views of the woodland.
This level also accommodates three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a practical laundry room and a dedicated breakfast and bar area.
A staircase leads to the lower level, where a fourth bedroom and a charming gallery-studio are located. Originally designed as an exhibition space for the artist-owner's works, this area has now been transformed into an elegant sitting room with a library, while retaining its distinctive cultural and creative character.
From the mezzanine gallery, a further flight of stairs leads to the lower level, where a large loft surrounded by expansive glazed windows enjoys direct access to the swimming pool, Zen garden and small pathways leading into the woodland.
This space represents the true creative heart of the property. Originally used as the artist's atelier, it featured a substantial fireplace used for melting metal to create his sculptures. Today, the loft has been reimagined as a generous living and entertaining space, featuring a large sitting area, a kitchen with central island and dining table, as well as a dedicated study area with a computer workstation and a fifth full bathroom.
