A tree-lined path through an oak forest leads to this majestic property of about 2000 sq.m, featuring a villa dating back to the late 1500s, along with other residential units and agricultural buildings that form a small hamlet.

The villa, from the late 16th century and belonging to a noble Florentine family for centuries, has a rectangular floor plan. The ground floor offers expansive living rooms and a dining area overlooking the gardens to the south, as well as a kitchen, laundry room, and other service areas.
On the first floor, there’s a second kitchen, additional service rooms, large bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The second floor hosts the main sleeping quarters, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a splendid panoramic loggia with breathtaking views. The original cellars occupy the villa’s basement.
The property also includes a 17th-century private chapel and additional buildings: a caretaker’s house adjacent to the villa’s ground level, two farmhouses partly dedicated to residential and partly to agricultural use, a barn, and other farm buildings.
The estate is set on an extensive three-tiered terrace with a magnificent Italian garden featuring a central circular water basin, adorned with hanging gardens, boxwood hedges, an original orchard, niches, and 16th-century statues. Not far from the villa is the spring that supplies water for the garden, preserving both the original water basin and stone benches used as a frigidarium.
Nearby is the “burraia,” the ancient building for making and storing butter.
The sale includes 24 hectares (59 acres) of land, mostly divided into olive groves, pastures, and woodland.

STATE AND FINISHES
The estate requires renovation. The last restoration in the 1930s maintained the villa and garden’s original design, preserving key features such as terracotta floors and wooden beams, while adding beautiful frescoes to the walls and other fine details, including a Renaissance-style fireplace in the ground-floor living room.

SERVICES AND UTILITIES
Electricity and telephone lines are present, and a connection to the natural gas line is possible. The water supply is provided by a natural spring.
