"Le Spugne" is a prestigious farmhouse estate nestled in the gentle hills of Montespertoli, in the province of Florence. This property offers an immersive Tuscan countryside experience, combining utmost privacy with breathtaking panoramic views.

Built in the early 1900s, the estate consists of the main farmhouse, approximately 470 sqm, and a charming annex (a former barn) of about 132 sqm. Both buildings have been meticulously restored over the years, preserving the authentic allure of traditional Tuscan rural architecture with original features such as exposed stone walls, traditional terracotta tile roofs, terracotta floors, cotto tiles, and wooden beams.

The main farmhouse spans two levels. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into generous and well-arranged living spaces: a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a studio currently used for ceramic craftsmanship, a spacious room enhanced by a stunning vaulted ceiling, a laundry room, and a utility/storage space. An elegant internal staircase leads to the first floor, which hosts five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, an additional guest bathroom, and access to the attic.

The annex, also with an independent entrance and spread over two floors, includes on the ground floor a fully-fitted kitchen and a living area; the upper floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, a covered veranda adds charm and provides the perfect setting for al fresco gatherings.

Additionally, the property boasts a detached garage of approximately 160 sqm, currently utilized partly as a photography studio, offering flexibility for varied uses.

The surrounding natural context is enriched by a private plot of about 5,000 sqm, featuring a well-maintained olive grove with around 60 trees, a spacious garden, and an above-ground swimming pool that overlooks the rolling hills—ideal for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.

Access to the estate is via a short dirt road of less than one kilometer, ensuring tranquility while maintaining convenient connectivity.

The exclusive location offers enchanting views and strategic proximity to Tuscany’s renowned cultural and tourist routes, including medieval villages of the area and the city of Florence, easily reachable within minutes.

With five bedrooms each with en-suite facilities and a fully autonomous annex, this property is perfectly suited not only as a luxurious private residence but also for the development of a high-end hospitality business, such as a boutique B&B, a vacation rental, or an upscale rural retreat.
