Manor house

Among the rolling hills of Umbria, with a privileged view of Lake Trasimeno, stands this refined Art Nouveau villa: an exclusive residence where elegance, nature and tranquility blend in perfect harmony. The villa has been recently restored with high-quality materials and the addition of modern comforts suited to the needs of the 21st century. The property is immersed in a private and panoramic setting, with open views of the lake sunsets and just minutes from the main services.

The manor house (415 m² – 4,465 ft², 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms), dating back to the 19th century and reworked in Art Nouveau style, consists of three floors and has already been renovated:

• Ground floor: entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, TV room, service bathroom, pantry and technical room;
• First floor: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, sitting room and panoramic terrace and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms;
• Second floor: dining room, living room, laundry room, bedroom with en-suite bathroom and game room.

A small outbuilding (46 m² – 495 ft²) under renovation completes the property.

Nestled on the top of a hill overlooking the northern shore of Lake Trasimeno, the villa offers about 7,500 m² of private parkland, embellished with an elegant Italian garden, centuries-old cedars of Lebanon and a 15 × 8 m panoramic swimming pool. The atmosphere is that of a private oasis, ideal both as a main residence and as a prestigious home for moments of relaxation.

Situated in a hilly position between the Valdichiana and Valdambra, in a landscape of great value and with excellent exposure, estate of 15.5 ha with rustic farmhouse and Chianti DOCG vineyard. The property is currently in use as an Agriturismo (17 beds) for weekly stays of families or groups of friends who can count on a fenced park with a 12 × 6 m swimming pool.

The property represents an interesting opportunity for those who wish to combine a stay in a residence immersed in the heart of Tuscany with a passion for viticulture. For the buyer, it is possible to make use of wineries in the area for grape processing; however, the extent of the vineyard and the quality of the production also suggest the creation of an in-house wine cellar.

EXTERIOR

The crown jewel of the property is the scenic 12.1-hectare vineyard, which is in full production and at the beginning of the regime phase of the multi-year cycle.

Plantings were made between 2018 (6.00 ha) and 2022 (6.14 ha), according to the criteria of modern quality viticulture for obtaining fine wines.

The vineyard is located at an altitude of about 500 m above sea level. The soil has ideal texture for vines with abundant skeleton that ensures excellent drainage during rainy periods. The right amount of clay allows for capillary retention of water reserves, which the roots can draw on in dry periods. The excellent exposure, spring and summer breezes and low humidity, ultimately the optimal pedoclimatic characteristics, allow constant production of excellent quality.

The ampelographic base is broad and includes the varieties Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Franc and Rebo.

The planting layout is 0.80 × 2.50 m, with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare to ensure a low production load per vine.

The entire vineyard area falls under the two appellations Chianti DOCG and Valdarno di Sopra DOC. The latter is a relatively recent appellation to which important wineries in the area have adhered, distinguishing themselves by choosing the organic method in the cultivation of vines.

Set atop a hill in the Val d’Orcia, in an incredibly panoramic location, hamlet with medieval castle for sale. The property (over 4,100 sqm) boasts numerous buildings that allow one to actually dive in what is for all intents and purposes a virtually unaltered medieval village. The buildings are in need of renovation but one could easily convert the complex into a luxury hotel with 37+ bedrooms.

HISTORY OF THE CASTLE

The castle is already documented in the 12th century as a property of the Salimbeni family, until it was bought by the Republic of Siena between 1250 and 1258. The keep became a valuable defensive position for Siena until the mid-16th century when Florence conquered the whole Tuscany and all the fortresses in the Sienese region lost their relevance. The hamlet became a farming estate, owned by the Piccolomini-Clementini family.

Located in the unspoiled and sought-after Niccone Valley, on the border between Umbria and Tuscany and in close proximity to the famous Reschio Estate, this extraordinary panoramic property offers absolute privacy, refined luxury and an impeccable level of achievement. Set in over 18 ha of perfectly manicured grounds, a short distance from Cortona and Lake Trasimeno, the property represents a rare opportunity to purchase an Italian estate ready to live in one of the most exclusive areas of central Italy.

Originally consisting of the ruins of an old farmhouse, the property has undergone a careful and meticulous four-year renovation, desired and overseen by the current owner in collaboration with local craftsmen, stonemasons, artisans and artists.

Materials were carefully selected from salvaged warehouses, and nothing was left to chance in the creation of a timeless residence, where traditional Umbrian architecture blends with contemporary elegance of the highest standard. All buildings feature double-glazed windows and doors and underfloor heating, ensuring high levels of comfort and energy efficiency.

The estate is managed year-round by dedicated staff, ensuring impeccable maintenance in every season. The sale includes the farm machinery and most of the outdoor furniture, allowing for an easy and immediate transfer of ownership.

Situated in the lovely hills of Chianti Classico, in the heart of Tuscany, just a few kilometers from Gaiole, this luxury farmhouse is a jewel of a property available as a truly turnkey, fully furnished, move-in-tomorrow ready home.

It has been entirely renovated, creating a phenomenal, refined look for each and every room. It is extremely rare to discover such a wonderfully elegant home, featuring the finest quality standards with remarkable beauty and charm – all in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany. Its very private and quiet location are an additional plus for those seeking silence and quiet away from city life.

The 431-m² perfectly appointed residential space is wonderfully divided between the two adjacent structures with can be used separately or together and could also be utilized for exclusive rental income opportunities

The farmhouse (252 m² – 2,711 ft², 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is a beautiful rural building finely renovated and furnished, distributed across three levels each connected internally. When entering on the ground floor one is greeted by a spacious kitchen with fireplace connected to the dining room (slightly below). From here the hallway leads to a first bedroom with private bathroom, while two secondary doors lead to the laundry and the underground cellar, respectively. Whereas ascending the staircase from the kitchen leads to a spacious living room with veranda, all connected with the second bedroom with private bathroom.

The dependance (179 m² – 1,926 ft², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom), on the other hand, is structured on two floors. The upper level houses a self-contained apartment consisting of gorgeous large living room with open kitchen and paved patio, bedroom and bathroom, ideal both as a guest unit and as a home for a live-in maid and/or house manager. The lower level, on the other hand, is currently used for storage but could easily be converted into a fitness area with a gym and spa.

The property features a beautiful garden of 6,115 m² landscaped in every detail and enhanced by a 14 × 7 m infinity pool with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Coming out of the garden we then find 6.2 hectares (15.3 acres) of agricultural land consisting of a mature olive grove (1.5 ha), a small hobby vineyard (580 m²), small portions of arable land (0.4 ha) and woods (4.2 ha) that ensure great privacy and confidentiality.

This restored hamlet is located in the Chianti hills, in an outstanding and very panoramic position in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Finely restored by the current owners, the property is a real gem that embodies all the typical characteristics of Tuscan rustic buildings. Most of the buildings have already been restored and include, at the moment, 15 beautiful bedrooms and elegant living areas. By completing the renovation of the other farmhouses one could reach a grand total of 30 bedrooms (or even more if smaller in size). The property’s 10.2 hectares of land are home to a beautiful Italiangarden and olive grove.

A notable historical fact about the property is that the Italian astronomer and philosopher Galileo Galilei spent some time in the villa, and the bedroom where he stayed still bears his name as a homage. He was, in fact, a renowned wine enthusiast and Chianti lover, to the point that at the end of his life, when confined in his villa in Arcetri, he took over winemaking as a hobby.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The property is made up of an old villa and a dependance, which are connected by a corridor.

In the 1970’s the villa and the dependance were united and the number of bedrooms increased. 

The villa has eight bedrooms, while the dependance includes seven bedrooms. Moreover, the hotel has a comfortable bar area, a very bright reading room, a living area composed of a coffee bar and a relaxation room, and a meeting room.

Perched on the edge of a medieval town close to Gaiole, this majestic castle is a historical gem in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The magnificent estate, constructed entirely of white stone in the early 11th century, is steeped in history and tradition. It is believed to have been owned by the noble Ricasoli family from around 1100 AD, who used it as a strategic fortification during the tumultuous wars of the late Middle Ages. Today, the hamlet stands as one of the most captivating and well-preserved examples of a fortified medieval village.

While it requires some modernization and improvement work, the castle’s historical charm and prime location make it an exceptional prospect for anyone seeking to own a piece of Italian history and offers a unique opportunity to savor the timeless beauty of the Chianti region, serving as an oasis of tranquility in a magical, ancient atmosphere.
