Wonderful Castle

Enchanting castle for sale spread over four levels topped by a tower with a panoramic terrace over the Valdambra, featuring a garden, swimming pool, and olive grove.
Is a historic palace located in the main square of a charming village in the municipality of Bucine, distributed over four levels plus a splendid tower with a panoramic terrace. The main entrance on the ground floor opens onto a comfortable hallway leading to the property’s dining room and kitchen. From here, there is access to a series of utility rooms such as the laundry room with an ironing area and pantry, while a staircase leads to the basement equipped with a technical room and a practical cellar. Also on this level are a large warehouse, an office, and an independent apartment with rear access, consisting of a living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. Worthy of note is the splendid outdoor cloister, with stairs leading up to the first floor and to the magnificent loggia overlooking the Chianti hills and the village square. Here, a large entrance hall leads to the so-called green room, the red room, the ancient library, and the new library—spaces of great historical and artistic importance thanks to the owner’s collection of paintings, drawings, majolica, and sculptures. Also on this level are two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. Two staircases then lead to the second floor, where the main sleeping area of the building is located, consisting of five bedrooms (four of which have private bathrooms), plus two additional bathrooms on the floor. One of the bedrooms also features a charming mezzanine with a sitting area that enhances its livability. Ascending the final flight of stairs leads to the magnificent tower, from which one can admire the fabulous landscapes of the area and enjoy splendid sunsets while sipping a glass of wine. In addition to the main residence, the sale includes three additional apartments: the first developed on two levels with a living area on the ground floor and bedrooms with a bathroom on the first floor; the second on a single level with a living area, bedroom, and bathroom; and the last with the same layout. Outside, going down a few steps, you reach the private garden, which features a 12×6 meter salt swimming pool with a splendid view of the Valdambra, along with several rooms used as an equipped gym, changing room, guest bathroom, and technical room. The total land measures 11,415 sqm and includes a hillside olive grove of approximately 160 trees, fully fenced and equipped with an irrigation system.
