On the hills of Florence, not far from Certaldo and Montespertoli, restored villa with outbuilding and Chianti vineyard for sale. The property is currently divided into six independent apartments, very suitable for an accommodation business, and has a panoramic swimming pool overlooking the surrounding countryside.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main villa (397 m² – 4,272 ft², 12 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms) is a two-story, red-painted and fully renovated building divided into four independent apartments:

• Apt. Lucca: living room with kitchen, three bedrooms and three bathrooms;
• Apt. Florence: living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms;

The farmhouse (268 m² – 2,884 ft², 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), on the other hand, is divided into two units, one on each floor, and has two convenient exclusive garages. The renovation aimed to maintain most of the salient features of the structure such as the brick vaults and terracotta floors on the ground floor and the chestnut beams on the second floor. The Livorno apartment, inhabited by the owners, is also equipped with a photovoltaic system.

• Apt. Livorno: living room, equipped kitchen, office, two bedrooms and two bathrooms;
• Apt. Grosseto: living/dining room with kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom.

The old barn (56 m² – 602 ft², 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) has been fully renovated and converted into a charming two-story annex including living/dining room with kitchenette, two bedrooms and bathroom. Here, too, the renovation has preserved the Tuscan character of the building, which still shows wooden beams and terracotta floors.

On the Chianti hills, not far from Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and Certaldo, lovely country villa for sale. The building (150 m²) is on two levels: on the ground floor is the living area consisting of kitchen, living room, reading room (potentially room), bathroom and laundry. From the living room a staircase leads to the upper floor where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with Jacuzzi.

The building has been expertly renovated so as to preserve its typical country aspects but at the same time adding modern comforts for guests.

Outside, the house has a 4,200-m² garden with barbecue area, outdoor dining area, and swimming pool/bio-lake with sandy beach. The rest of the property (3.1 ha) is mainly used as an olive grove with a small forest.

In the Chianti hills, between Certaldo and Gambassi Terme, 141.6-ha estate with vineyard and buildings to be renovated for sale. The hamlet is the heart of the property: here are a large rustic farmhouse (798 m² – 8,586 ft²) that has been partially renovated, a guesthouse (138 m²  – 1,485 ft² to be renovated), the wine cellar (164 m² – 1,765 ft²) with adjoining storage room (50 m² – 538 ft²), and a shed for vehicles and tools (201 m² – 2,163 ft²).

Outside the farm center, but not far from it, are then a second farmhouse (693 m² – 7,457 ft², entirely to be renovated) and two vehicle sheds (497 m² – 5,347 ft²).

EXTERIOR

The estate in its entirety covers about 141.6 hectares (349.9 acres) in a hilly position. The most important crop is definitely the vineyard (40.1 ha) divided between Chianti DOCG and Toscana IGT (both red and white). This is followed by an olive grove (about 4.0 ha with a total of 1,200 trees already in full production) and large portions of arable land (45.5 ha) with excellent exposure that could easily be used for planting new vines and/or olive trees. The rest of the estate is covered by woods and uncultivated land.

Also within the property is an artificial pond (about 1.0 ha in size) that allows for easy irrigation of crops when needed.

In the heart of Tuscany, in a panoramic and reserved position but less than 2 km from a medieval town with all services, prestigious estate with historic villa, cellars, vineyard and olive grove. The property (about 2,129 m²) has several buildings, to be used partly for hospitality (5 suites and 12 bedrooms) and partly for the farm's agricultural production. Notable features of the farm include the vineyard (8,000 m²), olive grove (200 trees), chapel and swimming pool.

Restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are also within walking distance (about 2 km). Important art cities of Tuscany such as San Gimignano, Volterra, and Siena can be reached by car in less than an hour. The beaches of the Tuscan coast can be reached in about an hour and twenty minutes, while golf lovers can find a major golf course 14 km away.

Due to its large size and enviable location, the property can be used as an accommodation business with 28 beds available. From 1997 to 2020, half-board group sports vacations with in-house catering (up to 35 guests) were organized in the property. Between 2021 and 2022, the historic villa was listed as a “Period Residence” in Tuscany.

The property brand, with about €1,000,000 in annual sales, can be purchased via separate negotiation.

In the Chianti hills, not far from Certaldo and Barberino Val d’Elsa, restored country villa with guesthouse, theater and pool for sale. The buildings (over 800 m²) have been finely restored and converted into a charming boutique hotel with 13 bedrooms. The 11.7 hectares of land surrounding the villa include the park with swimming pool and a 4.4-ha olive grove.

The closest amenities are in the nearby town (2km; 5’) and are easily reached via a short unpaved road in good condition. The central location in the heart of Tuscany also makes it easy to reach most of the region’s art cities in just over an hour (San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Colle di Val d’Elsa, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Florence, Siena, Cortona...).

On the Chianti hills, halfway between Florence and Siena, period house with private chapel to be restored for sale. The property, over 1,400 m² in total, consists of four buildings (a period villa, two rustic farmhouses and a chapel) surrounded by 8.5 hectares of land. The buildings are currently unused and need recovery and restoration work before they can be used again, but they would be very suitable for the start-up of an accommodation business.

All services are available in the nearby town of Castelfiorentino (4 km; 5') and the property is easily reached thanks to the municipal road system. Access is then guaranteed by a tree-lined gravel driveway (in excellent condition of maintenance). The barycentric position in the heart of Tuscany, along the route of the ancient Via Francigena, makes it possible to reach most of the region's cities of art in little more than an hour (Certaldo, Volterra, Monteriggioni, Siena, Florence...).
