Florentine Hills

On the hills of Fiesole, in a very panoramic and private position, luxury villa for sale. The house (318 m² – 3,422 ft², 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms) is a large newly built building, constructed above the remains of an ancient farmhouse with modern and state-of-the-art techniques that ensure comfort and energy efficiency. The porch on the façade gives access to the main entrance, the eat-in kitchen and a large living room with a home cinema system. At the back of the floor, there is a small service bathroom with laundry. Going up to the upper floor, one reaches the sleeping area consisting of five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The building is equipped with underfloor heating powered by a heat pump and has a 14-kW photovoltaic system on the roofs, which has a low visual impact and covers about a third of the house’s energy needs. Two accumulation batteries with a total of 25 kW allow storing excess energy for nighttime use or periods of high activity.

Not far from the villa, there are two stone outbuildings (122 m² – 1,323 ft², 2 bathrooms) that host the gym with a bathroom, a laundry with an attached changing room/bathroom, and technical rooms for the systems.

The villa is surrounded by an elegant flat garden of 4,380 m² that hosts an 18 × 6 m swimming pool with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and a private vegetable garden where one can grow his/her own vegetables and fruits in complete tranquility. The land is entirely fenced and protected from potential wild animals present in the area.

On the Mugello hills, in a highly scenic and private location, 62.2-hectare estate with a medieval castle and accommodation businesses for sale. The property boasts an almost thousand-year history and is in excellent condition, with over 5,300 m² of living space and great development potential for the hospitality activity. 

The heart of the property is formed by the castle (2,587 m² – 27,836 ft²), an imposing stone building perched on the hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside. The structure dates back to the 11th century and was most likely a fortified tower in its early phase. Over the centuries, the building was expanded and became an important control point of Mugello. In the 13th century, the fortress became part of Florence’s possessions, and a document from 1269 indicates that at that time, the castle consisted of a palazzo with a tower and thirteen houses arranged along the perimeter of the walls. By the end of the 14th century, the military function of the castle began to fade, and the fortress did not take part in significant military events from then on. A mid-17th-century census openly speaks of a villa rather than a castle, signaling the definitive conversion of the building into a countryside residence. The structure passed into the hands of various families and was renovated multiple times, without significantly altering its original appearance. Between 1915 and 1917, the castle was renovated by architect Agenore Socini, who also created the beautiful Italian-style garden (6,600 m²) that covers the south slope of the hill.
