Description

House . City - Florence

Nestled in the prestige of the Tuscan hills, just 15 km from the heart of Florence, stands this magnificent estate, where the charm of the Middle Ages meets contemporary exclusivity. The main building, originally conceived as a fortified watchtower, preserves the grandeur of its original architecture intact, offering a living experience steeped in history and authenticity. In addition to the principal residence, the estate features two independent apartments and a guesthouse. The main residence, approximately 300 sqm, is arranged over two levels. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, traditional kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, one bedroom and three bathrooms. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, one with a mezzanine, and an additional bathroom. The residence is completed by a semi-basement level with a summer lounge with bathroom and library, ideal to be transformed into a modern wellness area, a gym or a winter garden, as well as original stone cellars and a technical room. Within the main farmhouse there are also two apartments with independent access: - Apartment of approximately 40 sqm located on the ground floor, comprising entrance, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. - Apartment of approximately 80 sqm located on the first and second floors, comprising entrance, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom and, on the upper floor, the turret. The former barn has been converted into a guesthouse, arranged over two levels. The ground floor, cool and private, accommodates three bedrooms and one bathroom. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing, with the advantage of direct access to the outdoor areas, ensuring independence and natural light in every room. The upper floor features an open space flooded with natural light. Here, the welcoming living room with fireplace and the fully equipped kitchen coexist beneath high ceilings with exposed beams, enhancing the natural flow of the living area. Surrounded by a well-maintained garden that embraces the house on several sides, the barn offers perfect corners for outdoor dining, relaxation or gardening, guaranteeing absolute privacy from the main farmhouse. The entire property is set within a landscaped park of 5,000 sqm, overlooking the city of Florence and the surrounding hills. The arrangement on natural terraces not only offers ever-changing panoramic views, but also ensures each residential unit its own privacy and a dedicated garden area. The true heart of the summer is the swimming pool, positioned in a secluded setting on the lower level of the park. The property is further enhanced by two agricultural outbuildings, extremely useful for the storage of various equipment.
