Incantevole Casale Con Piscina Nella Campagna Vicino A Firenze

Imagine a house taken straight from a fairy tale, nestled in a charming natural setting amidst lush greenery, flowers and the scent of aromatic herbs. This charming property is located in the Florentine countryside, in the municipality of Reggello, in a setting offering complete privacy and tranquillity. At the same time, it is just a 5-minute drive from the main amenities and well connected to Florence, which can be reached in around 35 minutes by car. Once an ancient watchtower dating back to the 11th century, the property enjoys a prime location: it is completely self-contained and can be easily reached via a tarmac road.

The house was renovated in 2019 in a contemporary style, whilst preserving original features and highlighting the perfect balance between modern comfort and historic charm. The property comprises a main house and a guest house with a separate entrance, totalling approximately 165 square metres, as well as a swimming pool, a 4,000-square-metre garden and approximately 1 hectare of agricultural land, mainly woodland and arable land, with olive and fruit trees.

A charming, spacious loggia overlooking the mountains and the surrounding countryside leads into the bright living area, where precious historical features have been preserved, such as the original stone floor and the antique manger. From the entrance, a wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is particularly spacious with a bath and shower. From the living room, which also features an efficient fireplace, there is access to the dining area with kitchen, pantry and a guest bathroom. The kitchen opens onto a charming terrace, shaded by a beautiful wisteria, overlooking the swimming pool below.

From the small terrace, comfortable steps lined with flowers and aromatic herbs lead down to the swimming pool and the annexe, which is adjacent to the house and spread over two levels. On the ground floor of the annexe is a comfortable, spacious room with an en-suite bathroom; it is very bright and opens onto a panoramic terrace. It is an ideal space to use as a study, a relaxation area, or for hosting family and friends. On the lower level, accessible from the outside, there is a storage room and a utility room.

Thanks to the recent renovation, the property is in excellent condition and ready to move into; it also has energy rating C and is air-conditioned. The convenient location, surrounded by nature yet not isolated and well connected to the town and amenities, makes this property ideal as both a primary and secondary home, and suitable for inclusion in the holiday rental market.

The property is situated near Cancelli, a hamlet in the municipality of Reggello, which is well-served by all amenities and has excellent links to Florence and the airport via the A1 motorway, both of which are approximately 35–40 minutes away.

The area is highly regarded by both locals and visitors for its tranquillity, yet at the same time offers a wide range of amenities, including excellent restaurants and shopping centres, such as the high-end fashion outlet The Mall.

The area is also very green and boasts numerous nature trails ideal for hiking and cycling, thanks to the presence of several protected areas.
