Stunning Villa With Pool For Sale In Chianti

Villa with swimming pool for sale in Gaiole in Chianti, about 40 minutes from Siena and about 1 hour from Florence. With origins dating back to the early Middle Ages, this property has a total area of 600 sqm, with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, initially built as a watchtower and served the nearby fortified castles of Meleto, Brolio, Cacchiano, and Vertine. Subsequently, the farm was purchased by the historic Ricasoli family who included it among their vast properties. They initially transformed it into a farm and later, to take advantage of the beautiful stream that runs through the property, into a mill which, for many years, supported local farmers. It has since been renovated as a traditional rural villa.

The main villa extends over a total area of 450 sqm distributed over two floors and presents typical characteristics of rural and agricultural Tuscany. The characteristic thick walls maintain a constant and pleasant temperature in all seasons. The 5 spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are equipped with Hästens Beds, a famous Swedish company. There is also a kitchen with a wood-burning oven and a living room with a fireplace. The building is still rich in history and its walls reach, in some areas, a thickness of over a meter, preserving heat in winter (via pellet heating) and maintaining a cool interior in the summer months. In recent years, the villa has been expertly restored and furnished to include the best of modern comforts while maintaining its rustic charm.

The secondary house of approximately 160 sqm is in front of the main one, separated by a courtyard embellished with a pergola. Inside, we find 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace, and a storage room, all with the same refined and traditional style as the main villa, including the terracotta floor and pietra serena steps.

Immersed in a peaceful environment, the property includes a 2.4 ha garden and a swimming pool (14x7 m). The green trees guarantee privacy and shade, while the secluded pool area is equipped with a barbecue and a long wooden table placed under a gazebo. A tranquil stream runs through the property and is easily crossed via a sturdy wooden bridge to access the pool area. Near the entrance is a pergola under a large wooden table with wrought iron chairs. Furthermore, the garden features a sauna.
