Perched on a scenic hill near Fiesole, just minutes from Florence, this neo-Gothic castle for sale is a rare jewel with nearly a thousand years of history. Spanning 3,665 sqm and surrounded by 14 hectares of land, it includes 6.3 hectares of productive IGT vineyards yielding up to 26,000 bottles annually and a 4.2-hectare olive grove, reflecting its dual vocation for heritage and fine production. Built in 1031, the castle belonged to noble Florentine families before being transformed in the 19th century by English aristocrat John Temple Leader. Architect Giuseppe Fancelli’s thirty-year restoration created a romantic residence with frescoed halls, heraldic details and enchanting gardens of cypresses, fountains and terraces. Its illustrious history includes Queen Victoria’s 1893 visit and its wartime role as an Allied officers’ prison. The castle features grand reception rooms, frescoes, cloisters, a panoramic terrace and crenellated walkways with views over Florence and Chianti. Several annexes – including historic farmhouses, a residential tower, a lemon house and an old foundry – offer immense potential for hospitality or private use. With its landscaped gardens and commanding views, this estate is an extraordinary blend of history, art and Tuscan beauty.
