Nestled within mature Mediterranean gardens that are anchored and dominated by the majestic silhouette of a historic cedar tree, this exceptional Tuscan estate offers a rare and enchanting combination of timeless architectural character, generous residential accommodation, and captivating outdoor living spaces, while uniquely avoiding isolation by sitting comfortably within the heart of a charming small village just a short drive from the historic city of Siena, which means that the meticulously kept grounds unfold to reveal a completely private, secret walled garden that provides an oasis of tranquility, a sprawling and elegant ornamental stone pond, and a striking, mysterious historical grotto that carved into the earth leads gracefully through to an established, highly productive olive grove comprising approximately one hundred mature trees that yield fine local oil, just as the majestic main villa welcomes visitors through a grand and deeply inviting entrance reception hall where authentic, hand-loomed Tuscan terracotta tile floors run continuously throughout the expansive layout of the ground floor level, where the extensive accommodation at this introductory level includes a formal reception room, a rustic farmhouse kitchen proudly featuring its original stone hearth and open fireplace, a dedicated storeroom, a well-appointed guest bathroom, and an absolutely breathtaking main reception showroom distinguished by beautifully preserved, intricately painted frescoes across its high ceilings, whereas an original, polished Tuscan travertine stone staircase ascends elegantly to the first-floor level where a secondary main sitting room features charming exposed vaulted brick ceilings, a comfortable bedroom, a modern shower room, a quiet study, and a truly generous master bedroom suite that enjoys a bright double-aspect orientation alongside a separate, dedicated dressing room—both of which are adorned with exceptionally elegant painted ceilings—and a luxurious principal bathroom featuring a classic free-standing soaking tub, while the versatile second floor provides further highly flexible living space including another double-aspect sitting room, two additional bedrooms each equipped with their own private shower bathrooms, a separate home study, and two more bedrooms that, while not currently configured with plumbing, could easily accommodate new bathrooms subject to local planning permissions to further enhance the property’s hospitality capacity, and concluding this remarkable real estate offering, the sale also includes a large, separate secondary two-storey outbuilding measuring approximately 259 square metres that requires structural restoration but offers unparalleled potential for conversion into luxury guest cottages or an artist studio, with the added benefit of ample space and preliminary possibility to construct a private swimming pool within the sunny confines of the villa’s walled garden, rendering this estate a truly remarkable country residence with massive scope for future development.
Located in the scenic Tuscany region, Castelnuovo Berardenga offers a serene lifestyle with easy access to Siena city center (15 min by car). The area is renowned for its vineyards and historic estates, with nearby golf clubs and Michelin-starred dining. The Chianti countryside provides nature walks and cultural landmarks.
