Borgo Des Années 1600 Près De La Ville Médiévale Dominante De Volterra

We propose a fascinating Borgo from the 1600s located on a ridge accessible via a suggestive cypress-lined avenue, just a few kilometers from Volterra, with breathtaking panoramic views of the ancient Tuscan city-state. This borgo, which was once home to a hospital in the Middle Ages and later joined in 1383 to the Santa Maria Maddalena Hospital of Volterra, offers an atmosphere rich in history and charm.
The property includes a manor house dating back to the 1600s, an adjacent building originally dedicated to the caretakers of the lands, and an additional structure used as a barn. All of this is surrounded by a large park with centuries-old plants, where the relaxation area with a swimming pool is located in a strategic point of the garden to enjoy spectacular views of the Val d’Era and the Church of San Giusto, one of the main tourist and photographic points of interest in the Tuscan countryside.
The main villa, approximately 600 sqm, is spread over three levels and is an example of noble residential architecture of the time, embellished with frescoes and antique furnishings. This uniquely charming property was chosen as a personal residence for several seasons by Luchino Visconti and Helmut Berger. On the ground floor, there is a large frescoed entrance, two living rooms, a dining room, a spacious living room, a game room with a private bathroom, as well as a terrace covered by climbing vegetation. Completing the floor are two bathrooms, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a spacious kitchen with a pantry, both positioned to keep odors away from the living areas.
Through a staircase in the entrance hall, access is gained to the first floor, where there is an additional lounge and seven bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and storage. In the basement, accessible from the kitchen or the back of the villa, there are large cellars of about 100 sqm, which can also be used as a garage, and a bathroom with access to the driveway at the back.
Next to the villa, via a charming pergola-covered path adorned with climbing plants, there is another residence of about 130 sqm on two levels, more recent, dedicated to the caretakers of the surrounding land. On the ground floor, there are beautiful cellars of 80 sqm with large vaulted ceilings, while on the first level, there are five rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a spacious living room.
Completing the property is a charming barn of about 90 sqm. The estate extends over approximately 10 hectares of land, with 3 hectares dedicated to olive oil production, thanks to about 600 centuries-old olive trees.
A small pond with a belvedere at the entrance of the road leading to the borgo further enriches the landscape, as does a suggestive natural spring called ”La Fantaccia,” immersed in the surrounding wooded areas. For parking, about 10 spaces are available in front of the main entrance and an additional area at the back.
