Historic Villa In Mercatale

Historic villa for sale in Mercatale, San Casciano in Val di Pesa
Surrounded by the hilly landscape of Chianti Classico, a short distance from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, this elegant historic villa is part of an important agricultural estate of over 50 hectares. Built in the 14th century and belonging to the noble Florentine family of the Strozzi, the residence retains the charm of Tuscan tradition, combined with the productive potential of an established organic winemaking business.
The main body of the property consists of the main villa of approximately 1,000 sqm, located on the outskirts of an ancient village and characterized by two towers and a private park of over 5,000 sqm. The residence is spread over multiple levels, also served by an internal elevator. The basement houses the historic cellars and the oil storage. The ground floor features a double living room, kitchen, dining room, and representative rooms. The first floor has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a large sitting room, while on the upper level, within the towers, panoramic rooms open up with views of the surrounding hills.
The villa is equipped with an electrical system and heating divided into six zones, with air conditioning present in all rooms, except for two that only have the predisposition. The finishes are of high quality, with refined environments and original details of Tuscan architecture.
Completing the property are two outbuildings totaling 180 sqm, ideal as guest or staff accommodations, and a lemon house of approximately 70 sqm, currently used as a storage but easily convertible to residential use.
The agricultural estate includes 24.8 hectares of certified Chianti Classico DOCG organic vineyards, partly planted since 1965, and about 6 hectares of olive grove with 1,600 producing plants. Currently, the company is exclusively dedicated to the sale of grapes and extra virgin olive oil, but has improvement plans that foresee the possibility of creating a modern winery for winemaking, with an estimated capacity of about 170,000 bottles per year.
Thanks to its privileged location and high-quality structure, the property is suitable not only for continuing and enhancing the existing agricultural activity but also for creating a high-level tourist accommodation facility. A unique investment, just minutes from Florence, in one of the most fascinating and sought-after areas of Tuscany.
