Beautiful Farmhouse With Olive Trees

This beautiful property with spectacular views over the Chianti Classico hills is composed of several buildings, with a total surface area of approximately 1,100 sqm. Some of the buildings date back as far as 1400 and were developed around the ancient oil mill, which has remained partly intact, as witnessed by the millstone preserved inside the structure. The main body, on 3 levels, consists of a large farmhouse and 5 flats, some with direct access to the garden, others to the delightful courtyard. The farmhouse, made of stone, was completely renovated in the 1990s, maintaining intact the traditional Tuscan characteristics, such as wooden beams, exposed walls and small brick vaults. The property offers numerous internal communal spaces, such as the large living room or the glass-enclosed courtyard, ideal for creating a gym or yoga room, for example. Each room has a private bathroom. Next to the main building is the former barn, measuring approximately 270 sqm, completely renovated in 2008 in a modern style and equipped with underfloor heating. It consists of 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 living rooms.
The farmhouse is surrounded by about 51 hectares of land divided into forest, arable land and olive grove with about 600 plants in full working order and 400 to be recovered. The beautiful garden is characterised by equipped areas and a swimming pool with a breathtaking view of the hills.
The Podere meets most of its energy needs thanks to a 20 KW photovoltaic system that produces a surplus of electricity and a 50 KW biomass wood boiler used for heating and hot water production. For water supply, in addition to the municipal aqueduct, the property has 2 wells and a pond.
The property borders the famous Olena Estate, which is renowned for its fine wines, and offers a magnificent 360-degree view over the entire valley, ranging from Barberino Tavarnelle to San Gimignano with its Towers, Volterra, the Florentine hills and even the Apuan mountains.

The property is located in the heart of Chianti in the municipality of Barberino Val d’Elsa, a beautiful medieval village where one can enjoy the characteristic local life. The location is quiet and secluded but at the same time close to restaurants, bars, supermarkets, shops, pharmacies, banks, post office and all essential services. The property is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and woods typical of the Chianti area. In the immediate vicinity are the renowned Chianti wine cellars and the medieval villages of San Gimignano, Castellina in Chianti and Monteriggioni. Siena is about 30 minutes by car, Florence about 25 minutes; the two cities are easily reached via the Florence-Siena motorway, which is about 5 km away. Florence airport is about 35 minutes away, Pisa airport about an hour and a quarter and Rome Fiumicino airport about 2 and a half hours.
