Imagine passing through the gates of a property that spans centuries, where every stone tells a story that began in the 1300s. This Renaissance villa, set on a hill just minutes from Florence, represents an architectural heritage of extraordinary value, surrounded by thirteen hectares of land encompassing vineyards, olive groves, and parkland.
The heart of the estate is the main villa, arranged over three levels around its original tower, for a total of 1,396 sqm. Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the generous volumes: thirty-three rooms unfold along a path that alternates grand reception halls with more intimate spaces, all filled with natural light streaming through large windows overlooking the surrounding landscape and the swimming pool.
Adjacent to the main villa, the complex is enriched by a series of historic buildings that expand its potential uses: a former 120 sqm olive mill, now converted into an elegant reception space, preserves the estate’s productive heritage. A 120 sqm greenhouse and a small private chapel further enhance the architectural value of the property. On the western side stands a 354 sqm building with a loggia and thirteen rooms, while to the east a 347 sqm structure with twelve rooms and a terrace completes the residential offering. Additional features include a 245 sqm wine cellar and three outbuildings totaling 177 sqm, all reflecting the agricultural vocation of the estate.
The thirteen hectares of fully enclosed land represent a production asset of excellence: six hectares of DOCG Chianti Putto vineyards ensure high-quality wine production, while five hectares of olive groves, with approximately five hundred trees, provide annual extra virgin olive oil production. The park, woodland, and formal garden create natural settings of rare beauty, enhanced by a swimming pool accessible via a stone staircase. The pool area includes a bar, changing rooms, and a recreational area, while a former tennis court awaits restoration.
The property is currently habitable, featuring independent heating, an elevator, and air conditioning. However, it reveals its full potential when envisioned through a careful renovation project that enhances its historic volumes while integrating modern living standards. Possible uses are multiple: a prestigious private residence for those seeking an exclusive address without sacrificing countryside privacy, a boutique resort within the international luxury hospitality circuit, or a high-end senior living residence, a growing segment within the Tuscan real estate market.
The elevated hillside position offers sweeping views extending to the skyline of Florence, visible on the horizon, while the sunny microclimate supports both outdoor living and agricultural production. Its proximity to the city, reachable within minutes by car, allows for easy access to urban services while preserving the privilege of rural tranquility.
Location:
Situated on a panoramic hill just a short distance from Florence, the villa enjoys a strategic location that combines privacy and accessibility. Connections to the historic center of Florence are immediate, as is access to the main transport routes linking Tuscany to the rest of Italy. The hillside setting ensures complete privacy while remaining close to essential services, renowned local food and wine destinations, and cultural circuits that make this area one of the most sought-after in the international real estate market.
