Equestrian Estate For Sale In Siena, Chianti

Equestrian estate for sale in Chianti Classico with residential farmhouse, tourist accommodations, an equestrian center with stables (16 box and saddlery) and arenas. The location is excellent, with direct access to the most scenic horseback riding trails in the heart of Chianti Classico.

The estate offers all the space and features necessary for training in the three disciplines of full competition riding: cross-country, dressage and show jumping.
The location, goodwill and facilities make the property ideal for specialized equestrian tourism, geared toward offering experiences, courses and riding school for enthusiasts and professionals.

The property is in a very quiet location, in the middle of the countryside, but has all the basic services within 15’ drive: Coop supermarket, schools (kindergarten, elementary and middle school) and a train station that conveniently connects to Florence and Siena are available in the village of Castelnuovo.

The property consists of a single farm body of 16.2 hectares (40.0 acres) consisting almost entirely of fenced fields for horses and paddocks (about 15.0 ha). The residential buildings and equestrian center are clustered in a location sheltered to the north by the hilly woods and completely open to the south, where the pastures slope slowly toward the stream that runs through the valley.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

A portion of the building then houses accessory rooms useful for running the business, as well as the large original wood-burning oven.
On the south side of the apartment there is a loggia with a courtyard. In the immediate vicinity is a relaxation area for guests with a 12 × 4 m swimming pool.
