Tuscan Estate For Sale Between Florence, Pisa And Siena

Perched high above the hills of the Valdelsa area, this historic estate centres on a 19th-century villa built on the ruins of an ancient medieval castle, now transformed into a charming residence set amidst a landscape of woods, olive groves and cultivated fields. The property covers approximately 21 hectares, with around 3,000 sqm of covered space spread across nine residential and rural buildings, as well as a charming private chapel decorated with frescoes, offering a successful balance of historic charm, contemporary comfort and development potential for those wishing to combine country living with a structured agritourism business.

The heart of the property is the so-called ‘red villa’, a residence of approximately 320 sqm recently renovated as part of a project that benefited from significant energy efficiency incentives, bringing the building up to contemporary standards whilst respecting the original architecture. Here, there is a bright living area with panoramic views of the countryside and direct access to the outdoor pergola, as well as four comfortable bedrooms and four bathrooms, arranged to ensure privacy and independence for each group of guests. Natural materials, high-performance windows and updated systems make the villa immediately habitable, ideal as the estate’s main home or a stately home.

Adjacent to the main villa stands a second residential building, currently in good condition, which retains the authentic character of Tuscan farmhouses with bright living areas, five bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, perfect as a guest house, a home for the extended family or a unit dedicated to agritourism accommodation. In the same area stands the service building connected to the swimming pool, also in good condition, while the other rural buildings on the property offer ample space for renovation, ideal for creating further residential units, communal spaces for tastings and courses, wellness rooms or premises for processing agricultural produce, all in compliance with local regulations.

A short walk from the villa, in a particularly commanding position, lies the spectacular pool area, enhanced by a large paved sunbathing area, a fully equipped pool house and an artificial grass tennis court, which together create a true hub for relaxation and outdoor sports. The garden surrounding the main building, covering approximately 3 hectares, has been landscaped with lawns, ornamental trees and hedges that create more intimate spaces for al fresco dining, private events and weddings, in perfect harmony with the consecrated chapel of approximately 48 sqm, which has been preserved in its original state and features frescoes – an authentic historical gem that adds great symbolic and functional value to the estate.

The agricultural aspect of the property comprises approximately 18 hectares of arable land and olive groves, which already offer an attractive production base and, above all, great potential for development for those wishing to establish a farm integrated with the hospitality business. Completing the picture are a large paddock for horses and the possibility of restoring the old riding school, which would be particularly attractive to guests who enjoy horse riding. For those wishing to further expand the nature and hunting aspects, it is also possible to purchase separately approximately 40 hectares of adjoining hunting grounds, thereby creating a true private estate dedicated to rural and experiential tourism.
