Le Spugne

”Le Spugne” is a prestigious farmhouse estate nestled in the gentle hills of Montespertoli, in the province of Florence. This property offers an immersive Tuscan countryside experience, combining utmost privacy with breathtaking panoramic views.

Built in the early 1900s, the estate consists of the main farmhouse, approximately 470 sqm, and a charming annex (a former barn) of about 132 sqm. Both buildings have been meticulously restored over the years, preserving the authentic allure of traditional Tuscan rural architecture with original features such as exposed stone walls, traditional terracotta tile roofs, terracotta floors, cotto tiles, and wooden beams.

The main farmhouse spans two levels. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into generous and well-arranged living spaces:
- a fully equipped kitchen
- a dining room
- a cozy living room with a fireplace
- a studio currently used for ceramic craftsmanship
- a spacious room enhanced by a stunning vaulted ceiling
- a laundry room
- a utility/storage space.

An elegant internal staircase leads to the first floor, which hosts five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, an additional guest bathroom, and access to the attic.

The annex, also with an independent entrance and spread over two floors, includes:
- on the ground floor: a fully-fitted kitchen and a living area
- on the upper floor: two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, a covered veranda adds charm and provides the perfect setting for al fresco gatherings.

Additionally, the property boasts a detached garage of approximately 160 sqm, currently utilized partly as a photography studio, offering flexibility for varied uses.

The surrounding natural context is enriched by a private plot of about 5,000 sqm, featuring:
- a well-maintained olive grove with around 60 trees
- a spacious garden
- an above-ground swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills—ideal for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.
