Description
This beautiful estate is immersed in a pleasant, green setting in the heart of the Florentine countryside, on the slopes of Vallombrosa and at the same time close to services and to Florence. Arriving at the property, an elegant stone driveway leads to the buildings and to the terraced garden, where you can enjoy an open panoramic view over the entire valley and the surrounding Chianti hills. The estate consists of two main independent buildings: the elegant Villa of about 440 sqm and a traditional stone farmhouse, which is currently divided into four apartments of various sizes for a total of about 260 sqm, all surrounded by a perfectly maintained and sunny olive grove in production of about 6 hectares and parcels of woodland. The entrance to the Villa, through a characteristic main door with an original pietra serena frame, leads to a comfortable double living room with fireplace. From here, heading to the right, we find a hallway used as a study/office area with an original wood-fired oven, and then we reach the spacious dining area with fireplace and traditional brick kitchen, connected to a pantry. From the kitchen there is access to a service entrance through a laundry area with an adjacent heating plant. On the same floor, adjacent to the kitchen is a further room with private bathroom and direct access to the garden, currently used as a bedroom, but which could be used as a dining room, second living room or winter garden. A practical staircase leads to the upper floor, where you find a service/laundry room and the sleeping area, which includes two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and four further bedrooms sharing two bathrooms. The terracotta floors, the exposed beams, the linear distribution of the spaces and the elegant style, give this home the warmth and the authentic charm typical of the Tuscan tradition. In the garden surrounding the villa, which is well exposed and at the same time shaded by centuries-old trees, you can enjoy moments of conviviality and relaxation with views of the greenery and the hills. A stone staircase leads to the second building and the pool area, complete with a panoramic terrace, a pool house and a bathroom. Each of the four apartments of the farmhouse has its own garden and private access. There are also further annexes for a total of about 260 sqm, which include a warehouse/cellar on two levels at the rear of the villa, an aviary/chicken house and a shed for storing agricultural implements and equipment, secluded from the other buildings. Thanks to its proximity to Florence, well connected by rail, road and motorway, and places of interest such as Vallombrosa, the castle of Sammezzano, Arezzo and the Chianti region, the property is ideal both as a tourist accommodation business, as a private country residence perfect for hosting relatives and friends, or for a hybrid use.
