Casa Indipendente In Vendita A Rignano Sull'arno, Volognano

EXCLUSIVE LISTING
Just minutes from the historic Castello di Volognano, nestled within one of the most authentic and unspoiled areas of the Florentine hills, lies a property that is not merely a home, but a place to be truly experienced, breathed in, and remembered.
The Castello di Volognano is more than a picturesque backdrop; it is a living piece of Tuscan history woven into everyday life. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves that shape one of Tuscanys most iconic landscapes, the castle retains its medieval charm and heritage. Once a strategic and agricultural center, it is now also renowned for its exceptional wine production, making this area a true jewel overlooking the Arno Valley. Living here means waking up immersed in an authentic, timeless Tuscan setting.
Only 30 minutes from Florence, the atmosphere changes completely. Silence, natural light, open landscapes, and the scent of nature create a sense of peace that has become increasingly rare and precious. The approach to the property follows a scenic road winding through olive groves and panoramic countryside. Approximately 600 meters from the SP90 provincial road, a private country lane leads to the estate, offering uninterrupted views of the castle and surrounding hills.
Within this extraordinary setting stands a beautifully restored farmhouse that perfectly balances history, nature, and modern innovation. Dating back to the 17th century, the property occupies a dominant, bright, and exceptionally private position at approximately 240 meters above sea level. Access is through an elegant stone-paved courtyard shared discreetly with one neighboring property.
The main garden embraces the house on three sides and is enriched by centuries-old olive trees and sweeping valley views. Here, time seems to slow down. An arched iron-and-glass entrance door opens to interiors rich in character, featuring original terracotta floors, a preserved wood-fired oven, and carefully restored historic materials.
The entrance level includes a refined bathroom with natural light, highlighted by brick arches, stone details, and handcrafted majolica finishes. A remarkable feature is the hidden wine cellar, accessed through an electric lift seamlessly integrated into the stone flooring. Beyond the original wooden doorway, the main living area unfolds into a modern fully equipped kitchen, a cozy fireplace lounge, and an impressive open-plan space defined by exposed wooden beams, terracotta arches, and stone walls. Throughout the day, natural light continuously transforms the atmosphere of each room.
The upper floor hosts a luxurious primary suite complete with a study and walk-in wardrobe area, which can easily be converted into a third bedroom. The en-suite bathroom features a whirlpool bathtub, a spacious built-in hydromassage shower, and elegant handcrafted finishes. A second double bedroom maintains the same high standards of comfort and style, while the main bathroom is filled with natural light from three large windows. A laundry area and attic storage space accessed via retractable electric stairs complete this level.
The property offers 229 sqm of cadastral area (approximately 170 sqm of usable living space), comprising seven rooms and three bathrooms, with generous yet perfectly balanced interiors.
Outside, the estate extends across approximately 6,000 sqm of private land, plus an additional 1,000 sqm held in 50% shared ownership. The grounds include around 70 mature olive trees producing approximately 200 liters of premium olive oil annually, fruit trees, citrus plants, a vegetable garden, and beautifully landscaped areas that combine productivity with ornamental beauty.
Outdoor living is enhanced by two terraces: a charming stone barbecue area and a large panoramic pergola overlooking the Arno Valley and the Apennine Mountains. An original stone well, still fully operational, adds both authenticity and practicality. Stone and terracotta fountains,...
