Historic '500 Residence With Views Over Florence

At the summit of the hills of Bagno a Ripoli, in a commanding position with open views across the entire city of Florence, stands a historic 16th-century farmhouse villa of 400 sqm arranged over three levels. Set within a two-hectare estate comprising a fenced 10,000 sqm garden and 10,000 sqm of land, the property offers seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an independent annexe, an above-ground swimming pool and private parking spaces. The combination of 16th-century architecture, extensive outdoor spaces and exceptional proximity to the Tuscan capital creates a residence of great charm and privacy.

The main building is accessed through a striking ground-floor covered loggia, which leads directly into the large dining room and the entrance hall served by the staircase. The dining room connects to a private study with dedicated bathroom and a spacious live-in kitchen. The entrance hall corridor leads to the reception room with wooden ceilings and a period fireplace, also featuring a convenient independent exit to the garden. Completing the ground floor are a wine storage cellar and a second self-contained living area comprising a sitting room, private kitchen and double bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

The upper levels of the farmhouse villa feature a varied and articulated arrangement of sleeping quarters, rich in characteristic details of historic Florentine architecture. On the mezzanine floor, a library landing leads to a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Ascending to the second floor via the main staircase, the house offers a further bedroom with en-suite bathroom, in addition to a corridor serving an independent bathroom and a second bedroom. A further bedroom on the upper floor benefits from independent access via dedicated stairs from the level below.

The liveability of the outdoor spaces is enhanced by the fenced garden, enriched with olive trees, stone pathways and a terracotta panoramic terrace overlooking Florence. The solarium area hosts an above-ground swimming pool surrounded by greenery, ideal for enjoying the summer months in complete tranquillity. The estate includes an independent annexe offering further living spaces and amenities, ideal as accommodation for guests or caretaking staff. The estate is served by private parking spaces secured within the fence, utility rooms and 10,000 sqm of land providing an unspoilt natural buffer around the complex.
