A Stone Dream In The Heart Of Chianti

In the heart of Chianti, surrounded by woods and endless rolling vineyards, this ancient stone farmhouse portion is part of a small rural hamlet composed of six residential units. A stone archway leads into the private courtyard, where an ancient wood-burning oven still preserves the memory of past country life. From here, a stone staircase ascends to the entrance porch, which overlooks the surrounding countryside.

Recently renovated and completely newly furnished, the home masterfully blends the authentic character of its original architecture — exposed chestnut beams, brick vaults, terracotta ceiling tiles, and traditional terracotta floors — with a refined contemporary taste attentive to every detail. The ground floor opens onto the courtyard through a covered porch and features a living room, an eat-in kitchen, and a bathroom. The first floor hosts an entrance with a living area, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, furnished with antique pieces and hand-painted ceramic sinks. Finally, a spiral staircase leads to the attic tower room, nowadays a light-filled study with large windows opening out over the surrounding hills.

Outside, the stone courtyard opens onto a small private garden shaded by a grapevine pergola, ideal for alfresco dining in the quiet of the Tuscan countryside. Amid terracotta pots and prickly pears, the outdoor spaces retain the same authentic character as the house. The property also includes access to a shared swimming pool, immersed in greenery with views over the valley, and extends over approximately six hectares of surrounding land.

The property is situated in the countryside between Gaiole in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, just a few minutes’ drive from both villages. Siena can be reached in about 30 minutes by car, and Florence in about an hour.
