Description
Among the hills of Mugello, in the municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo, half an hour's drive from the magnificent Florence we find a beautiful historic house free on 4 sides and vast land around. The property is spread over several levels consisting of: triple living room with large fireplace, seven bedrooms, with high ceilings and exposed beams, six bathrooms, kitchen large tavern used as a play area, plus outbuilding, porch and warehouse for a total of about 740 square meters. Adjacent to the main body is a consecrated church of 35sqm. Looking at this group of buildings makes one think of their history. They arose as watchtowers near water sources to charge duty to the caravans that transported through Borgo San Lorenzo on muleback the slabs of salt for the old Laurentian road to the Salaiole where the salt was ground and purified and then continued on to Florence, a trade due to the Medici family. Then, in time the property passed to the Church which created a convent with a few friars who tended to the tithe of the church and the farmers who worked those farms. In recent times it passed into a rural home where everything is maintained and cultivated in excellent condition to this day.
Condition and finishes
The property is well maintained and the systems are up to standard. The interior and exterior floors are clinker and pietra serena, the bathrooms are ceramic. The restored exposed solid wood beams immerse in the classic Tuscan style. The doors are made of wood.
