Villa Storica

For sale in the famous setting of the municipality of Anghiari, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Europe, this charming villa was built at the behest of a well-known family of Italian entrepreneurs. It is a unique property that embodies all the characteristics of Tuscan period residences.
An important green project designed by the famous landscape architect Pietro Porcinai, published in numerous industry magazines, takes shape in a park that revolves around a stately watercourse that descends from the upper part of the property, where a scenic neoclassical temple is located, flowing through elegant stone basins down to the entrance of the villa.
This still-functioning system is fed by spring water and a continuous reserve present in the artificial lake within the property, hidden within the centuries-old pine forest.
Skillful use of perspective transforms the access to the villa into a true sensory and visual experience through a long uphill path shaded by the characteristic cypress trees that, like in ancient temples, mark the passage with columns.
The layout has been designed on multiple levels to emphasize the monumentality of the place and to adapt to the hill on which the structure stands.
The thoughtful use of shapes, their geometry, and the analysis of proportions make this building perfectly integrated into the green context.
The main villa serves as the pivot around which other buildings develop, such as the dependence on the west side, topped by a hill covered with over 700 olive trees, a beautiful lemon greenhouse, a red clay tennis court, and a majestic swimming pool with its relaxation area, as well as large-sized garages.
On the south side, we find a spacious glass-enclosed area designated as a reception room or meeting room, a true underground architecture accessible through an imposing double staircase in white stone or an underground tunnel leading to a secret vaulted room inside the villa.
A well-organized system of paths, both external and internal, allows easy access to every point of the property and enables one to fully enjoy the timeless charm of this place.
Purchasing a property like this means becoming part of the centuries-old history of this place and its lands, cherished by artists of the caliber of Piero della Francesca or Leonardo.
In particular, this is an estate of over 14 hectares of land, within which we find the main villa of nearly 600 square meters and a small votive church dedicated to Santa Maria.
Within the grounds, there are also numerous fruit trees and a beautiful vineyard used over time for the production of Chianti as well as the famous dessert wine called Vin Santo, maintained and protected within the winemaking facilities.
Speaking of the main house, it is divided into four levels:
- BASEMENT: we find a charming vaulted stone room dedicated to knights with an imposing stone fireplace and an adjacent space used as a kitchen, a laundry room, and a restroom.
- GROUND FLOOR: Through the glass entrance, one accesses the daytime living area with a large living room, a modern and functional kitchen, and three additional spaces designated as lounges/studies useful for hosting guests or retreating in complete privacy and tranquility.
- FIRST FLOOR: here we find the sleeping area, with three spacious bedrooms, two walk-in closets, three bathrooms, one with a whirlpool tub, and a private study.
- SECOND FLOOR: this is the uppermost area of the structure, built like a tower, which accommodates two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and the remaining attics.
Given its characteristics, location, and the extensive flexibility in organizing both internal and external spaces, this property can adapt to numerous purposes, whether as a representative venue, a prestigious private residence, or for luxury tourism purposes.
Our agency offers a complete service both pre and post-sale, as well as a free preliminary technical consulting offer with our staff architects who will be happy to support interested parties in the purchasing process and potential revaluation of this charming villa.
