Renovated 16th-century residence belonging to the noble Chigi family, with historic finishes and 6 hectares/14.8 acres of land for sale in Siena. In the prestigious and private residential context of Scacciapensieri, just 1.5 km/0.9 miles from the vibrant heart of Piazza del Campo and the historic center of Siena, this majestic independent 16th-century villa represents an exceptional synthesis of aristocratic elegance and privacy. Once a prestigious residence of the historic noble Chigi family, the property stands in a dominant hilltop position immersed in the typical Tuscan landscape, combining tranquility with immediate proximity to all urban services. Main access is via a private driveway leading to the main residence, set within a magnificent green park. The property is spread over 4 levels with a total floor area of approximately 6996 sq ft/650 sq mt. Subject to a deep and meticulous renovation completed in 2009, the villa retains its period charm intact: the wooden window frames with double glazing and shutters have been completely revised, harmoniously integrating with the majestic frescoed ceilings, exposed wooden beams, terracotta and parquet floors, and evocative historic fireplaces. The interior of the main building houses two distinct living units on the ground floor: the first characterized by a majestic main entrance, a bright dining room, kitchen, large living room with direct access to the loggia, hallway, and bathroom; the second consisting of an independent entrance, living room, kitchen, 2 hallways, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The first floor features a refined reception and sleeping area served by a terrace, including a large living room, library, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, walk-in closet, wardrobe, and 7 rooms used as storage and hallways. The top level hosts the second floor divided into 6 rooms used as attic and storage space, while the semi-basement floor includes the boiler room and 7 rooms used as cellars. Outside the building are two annexes, one used as a warehouse and the other consisting of a suggestive cave used as a World War II shelter in 1945. The villa is surrounded by approximately 6 hectares/14.8 acres of private land with a garden, olive grove, vineyard, and arable land. The property is served by gas heating combined with radiators and underfloor systems, alongside 2 solar thermal systems for hot water storage, and is already set up for the reactivation of the alarm system. A historic residence of rare prestige, perfect both as a high-representation home and as an investment
