Historic 16th-century Residence With Views Over Florence

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

The main building is accessed through a striking covered ground-floor loggia, leading directly into both the spacious dining room and the entrance hall with its staircase. The dining room connects to a private study with dedicated bathroom and a large live-in kitchen. From the entrance hall, a corridor leads to the reception room with wooden ceilings and a period fireplace, which also benefits from convenient independent access 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 feature a varied and articulated arrangement of sleeping areas, rich in characteristic details of historic Florentine architecture. On the mezzanine floor, a corridor used as a library 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, as well as a corridor serving an independent bathroom and a second bedroom. A further bedroom on the upper floor enjoys independent access via dedicated stairs from the level below.

The liveability of the outdoor spaces is enhanced by the enclosed garden, enriched with olive trees, stone walkways and a panoramic terracotta terrace overlooking Florence. The sunbathing area includes an above-ground swimming pool surrounded by greenery, ideal for enjoying the summer months in complete tranquillity. The property includes a self-contained guest annex offering additional living spaces and amenities, ideal as accommodation for guests or caretaking staff. The estate is served by private parking spaces within the enclosed grounds, technical rooms and 10,000 sqm of land, ensuring an unspoilt natural buffer around the complex.
