CASTELLO MOLINETO — FOR SALE
A landmark Tuscan castle estate with operating hospitality, historic chapel, and over 1,200 hectares of land
Castelfiorentino (Florence), Tuscany, Italy

Total built area: 34,082 sq m
Land: 1,200+ hectares

Overview
Castello Molineto is a rare, large-scale Tuscan estate of exceptional character and commercial versatility. At its heart stands a 15th-century castle arranged around an internal courtyard, complete with towers, perimeter walkways and a consecrated private chapel still used for weddings. The estate extends across more than 1,200 hectares and operates as the hub of an established agricultural business producing quality wine and olive oil under its own label.

Beyond the castle, the property includes a substantial collection of buildings—farmhouses, guest accommodation and ancillary structures—some already in use for hospitality, others offering considerable scope for restoration and value creation. خبري

Location
Strategically positioned between Florence and Siena, Castello Molineto enjoys a secluded yet highly accessible setting with sweeping views across the Tuscan hills. Florence is approximately 30 km away and Siena around 50 km, while iconic destinations such as San Gimignano, Volterra and Pisa are within comfortable reach. Florence Airport can be reached in around 30 minutes.

Historical notes
Originally built in 1424 by the noble Pucci family of Florence, this is considered one of Tuscany’s most evocative historic residences. The estate is associated with notable figures in Italian history, and retains architectural and decorative elements that reflect its noble heritage. (Any specific attributions should be confirmed through the available documentation.)

The property
The Castle
Centred on an internal courtyard and extending to approximately 2,930 sq m over three levels, the castle is presented in excellent condition.

Ground floor: grand reception rooms and supporting service areas, currently used for high-end events and administrative functions, with terraces and panoramic outlooks.
First floor: a predominantly residential layout with generous bedrooms in a traditional Tuscan style, each served by private facilities.
Lower level: a striking natural tuff cellar with stable, naturally cool temperatures ideal for wine ageing. This level also houses the consecrated private chapel, a distinctive asset for ceremonies and destination weddings.

Towers and perimeter walkways enhance the castle’s defensive-era character and provide unforgettable viewpoints over both the courtyard and the surrounding countryside.

The 18th-century villa and farm buildings
A short distance from the castle sits an 18th-century villa of approximately 1,150 sq m arranged over three floors, crowned by a central turret. The semi-basement hosts service rooms, while the raised ground and first floors follow the classical plan of period Tuscan villas, with well-proportioned reception spaces and bedrooms.

The wider farm complex comprises a further six buildings, totalling approximately 3,500 sq m.

Agriturismo, agricultural business and dispersed buildings
The estate includes:
– an operating agriturismo complex with 10 apartments;
– an active agricultural business producing wine and olive oil under its own label;
– an extensive network of predominantly rural buildings—circa 53 structures distributed across the landholding—amounting to an estimated 30,000 sq m. A portion of these buildings requires full restoration, offering substantial development upside.

Condition and finishes
The castle has been carefully restored, retaining hallmark Tuscan materials and detailing: terracotta floors, exposed timber beams, stone fireplaces, and robust historic masonry. It is currently used as a high-end venue for events and receptions.

The villa, agriturismo and agricultural infrastructure are in good overall condition. A number of additional rural buildings require comprehensive refurbishment—ideal for an investor or end user seeking a phased redevelopment strategy.

Grounds and land
The castle is surrounded by a mature parkland setting with an Italian-style garden. Amenities include a swimming pool, tennis court and an operational centre for the estate.

The landholding exceeds 1,200 hectares and includes a significant productive component:
– 7 ha of IGT vineyard
– 19 ha of Chianti DOCG vineyard
– 14 ha of olive groves (approx. 3,500 trees)
– remaining land divided between arable fields and woodland, combining production, privacy and landscape value on a remarkable scale.

Use potential
Castello Molineto supports multiple high-value strategies, including:
– a private landmark residence within the castle, with ancillary buildings used for guest accommodation, staff housing or resale (subject to permissions);
– an integrated luxury hospitality concept: wine estate experiences, boutique accommodation, curated culinary and cultural programming, and a premium events/wedding platform;
– a destination-scale development opportunity, with long-term potential for additional leisure infrastructure (including golf), subject to planning and authorisations.

In short, this is not simply a castle acquisition—it is a complete Tuscan estate: historic, operational, and exceptionally scalable.
