A one-of-a-kind modern estate , where interiors and landscape exist in perfect continuity.
Set in the first southern hills of Florence, this independent villa represents a rare example of visionary residential architecture.
Originally built in the 1960s and recently renovated, the property stands out for its extraordinary cross-shaped layout developed entirely on one level — an architectural choice conceived to create harmony, privacy and a seamless dialogue between the different living areas.
The design intelligently separates the residence into distinct wings: a private sleeping area designed for quietness and discretion, a guest and service area complete with every comfort, including laundry room, gym and dedicated utility spaces, and finally the main living area — the true heart of the home.
Here, expansive open spaces unfold around a striking double living room, centered by a modern fireplace that naturally becomes a place of gathering and conviviality. The kitchen, designed around a central island, opens directly onto the living spaces, all surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the infinity pool and the beautifully landscaped garden embracing the villa from every side.
What makes this property truly unique is the continuous relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Every room enjoys direct access to the outdoors, reflecting the architect’s original vision of creating a home where architecture and nature could flow into one another organically.
Originally, the villa featured even more extensive glass surfaces — in some areas even glass ceilings — allowing the eye to travel uninterrupted through the entire residence and reinforcing the extraordinary sense of openness and light that still defines the property today.
The estate is equipped with every modern comfort expected from a residence of this level, including solar panels, fast-charging stations for electric vehicles, thermal insulation, air conditioning, home automation, surveillance system, private water well and cistern.
The outdoor areas are equally remarkable and include a greenhouse, workshop, six covered parking spaces, and over 220 trees throughout the property, including approximately 60 olive trees and a variety of fruit trees that contribute to the estate’s private and authentic Tuscan atmosphere.
A rare architectural residence where design, landscape and lifestyle come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
Situated in the heart of Florence, this property offers immediate access to historic landmarks, renowned dining venues, and cultural institutions. The Florence Airport and Santa Maria Novella train station are within a 20-minute drive, providing excellent connectivity. Nearby upscale shops and outdoor spaces enhance daily living, while prestigious schools serve the area, making it ideal for families and professionals alike.
