Renovated Authentic & Romantic Property In San Gusme || Siena Province

In the heart of San Gusmè, one of the most enchanting villages in the Sienese Chianti region, lies this captivating historic residence, set within a section of the village’s ancient fortified walls.

A home with an authentic Tuscan character, where the charm of history meets contemporary comfort. A place to be enjoyed at a slower pace, surrounded by ancient stone, original exposed beams, handcrafted terracotta floors, beautifully decorated cement tiles and intimate corners that seem to tell stories of another time.

The property is arranged over several levels and is currently divided into 2 independent apartments, with the possibility of reconnecting them into a single residence or further dividing the existing spaces. This offers a variety of potential uses: an elegant private home, a multi-generational residence, a charming second home or an opportunity for hospitality and rental income.

GROUND FLOOR
The 1st apartment occupies approximately 109 sqm of net internal area and comprises a spacious and bright living room, 2 generous bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one of which features a large whirlpool bathtub, perfect for moments of complete relaxation.

One of the most evocative features of the entire residence is found here: a magnificent, generous stone niche, a beautiful testimony to the building’s ancient structure, carefully preserved during the renovation.

The original ceiling beams have been retained, preserving the authentic atmosphere of the home. The floors are finished in fine, handmade terracotta, while the apartment’s doors were also individually handcrafted and hand-painted, adding a unique and precious touch to the interiors.

UPPER-FLOOR APARTMENT
The second, larger apartment extends across the first and second floors, together with a charming attic that is partly habitable.

On the first floor, approximately 92.5 sqm net, there are two elegant living rooms, a spacious eat-in kitchen and a bathroom featuring a shower, sauna and whirlpool bath.

The two living rooms are particularly noteworthy. In keeping with the original character of the house, rather than introducing modern flooring, they feature exquisite hand-decorated cement tiles, crafted by the renowned Tessieri artisan workshop of Lucca.

Some of the original terracotta floors have also been carefully preserved, creating a harmonious dialogue between traditional materials, warm colours and the history of the property.

The second floor, approximately 94 sqm net, comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom and a dressing room that could also be used as an additional single bedroom. There is also the possibility of creating an additional bathroom, as all the necessary drainage connections have already been prepared.

Continuing upwards, one reaches the attic, approximately 42 sqm net, where another charming and intimate room can be found — an ideal guest bedroom, study or private retreat.

PRIVATE COURTYARD
The property is entered through an elegant wrought-iron gate, leading into a private courtyard of approximately 100 sqm, entirely paved with ancient stone.

A secluded and wonderfully atmospheric space, perfect for outdoor living: setting a table on warm summer evenings, reading in the shade, enjoying a glass of wine at sunset or simply immersing oneself in the peaceful atmosphere of the village.

Within the courtyard is a characteristic covered loggia/carport, which can be enjoyed as an outdoor relaxation area or used as a covered parking space.

Adding to the authentic character of this enchanting corner is a large, ancient wood-fired oven, still in perfect working order — a wonderful reminder of traditional Tuscan life and an ideal setting for convivial gatherings with family and friends.
Also on the ground floor, with its own independent entrance, is a room of approximately 10 sqm, currently used as a laundry and storage/utility room.

PRIVATE GARDEN
Just a few metres from the house, the property is complemented by approximately 1,100 sqm of fully fenced and landscaped land.

A private corner of the Tuscan countryside, home to more than twenty productive olive trees, a row of vines bearing several varieties of table grapes, and a number of fruit trees.

A space where one can truly embrace the most authentic side of Tuscan country life: harvesting olives, strolling among the trees, cultivating a vegetable garden or simply enjoying nature and the peaceful surroundings just steps from home.

This is not simply a house: it is a home with a soul, where every element reflects a desire to preserve the beauty of the past while offering the comforts of modern living.

The ancient stone walls, handmade terracotta, decorated cement tiles, original wooden beams, hand-painted doors, wood-fired oven, private courtyard and garden with olive trees and vines come together to create a rare and deeply characterful property.
