Medieval Charm and Panoramic Views of the Compiobbi Hills. In the picturesque hilly landscape just outside Florence, we offer for sale an extraordinary medieval tower house with a 19th-century extension. A property of timeless charm, expertly and carefully renovated, it combines the authenticity of historic Tuscan architecture with modern living comforts. The completely independent property, covering approximately 270 sq m, is surrounded by a private park of approximately one hectare and is flanked by an ancient barn of 60 sq m. Geographical Context History. Located in the hilltop hamlet of Compiobbi (Municipality of Pontassieve), the home enjoys a privileged panoramic view and complete privacy, without being isolated. Strategic location: just 10 km from southern Florence and 4 km from the main services in the valley, connected by a typical narrow but fully paved country road. Historical Origins: The structure retains the layout and soul of a medieval tower house, originally built as a lookout post or fortified residence on the roads connecting the Sieve Valley to the cradle of the Renaissance. The 19th-century extension later softened the volumes, creating a harmonious country residence today. Interior Spaces: Layout Character: The main building has undergone an excellent conservative renovation, is completely de-urbanized, and guarantees full compliance with urban planning and land registry regulations. The spacious and bright interiors are divided into three levels: Ground Floor: The entrance opens onto a welcoming living area comprising a living room with fireplace, eat-in kitchen, bathroom with window and shower, laundry room, a large multipurpose room (ideal as a gym, hobby room, or basement), and a loggia with external access for tool storage. First Floor: Accessible both via an internal staircase and a charming independent entrance via an external stone staircase (typical of Tuscan architecture). Here, we find a majestic living room dominated by a large period fireplace, a study (formerly the kitchen), a storage room, a bathroom with window and bathtub, and a spacious master bedroom with a walk-in closet. Second Floor: The upper sleeping area features three large bedrooms, another bathroom with window and shower, and a convenient storage room. Outdoor Spaces Outbuildings: The property is surrounded by approximately 1 hectare of agricultural land, expertly divided between a well-kept garden, a productive olive grove with 30 trees, and a lush wooded area that guarantees privacy and summer shade. Outdoor Conviviality: Designed for enjoying the countryside in every season, the exterior offers a charming pergola for al fresco dining, a panoramic terrace, as well as an original wood-fired oven and barbecue area. The Barn (60 sq m): a detached building used as a warehouse, currently in need of renovation, offering extraordinary customization potential (as a guest annex, artist’s studio, or professional studio). Technical Features Benefits: Systems: Independent LPG heating with a newly installed condensing boiler. Furnishings: The sale includes most of the existing furnishings and garden maintenance equipment, allowing for immediate use of the home. Versatility: The presence of a double entrance (internal and external on the first floor) makes the property ideal both as a prestigious single residence, for families seeking independent living, and as a charming BB/guesthouse.
