Chianti

15th-century stone country house with panoramic pool, spa with sauna, guest annex, olive grove and woodland, for sale between Florence and Arezzo. In a panoramic position with a breathtaking view over the Valdarno countryside and the Chianti region south of Florence, at 350 meters above sea level, for those who love to isolate in nature amidst centuries-old woods and look far into the distance, La Guardiaccia is a real retreat. The manor country house boasts over 7750 sq ft (720 sq m ) of belvedere terraces overlooking the panorama with outdoor living areas and a Jacuzzi. It was built back in the 1300s and still preserves its authentic medieval natural stone façades and brick arches. Recently renovated into a charming four-bedroom residence is paired with a separate annex spa starring a gym and a sauna room. All interiors offer suggestive wooden ceilings, some rooms retain their original terracotta floors and charming stone fireplaces, upgraded with new double-glazed fittings, parquet floors, bathrooms with ceramic tiling, and a new photovoltaic system for electricity and hot water supply in the summertime. The central floor of the house is the core of the living area with a living room and a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, and terraces on both sides for enjoying the sun and shaded areas, in the morning and evening. The annex with spa is located in the courtyard in front of the house together with the bread/pizza oven and portico. A few steps away, a garden path leads to the swimming pool area, in an enchanting position, set in a stone and terracotta paved sundeck with a gazebo and, at the far end, a former medieval barn converted into a romantic guest cottage, where everyone will want to stay. A cypress-lined driveway takes to a detached contemporary style two-story family house perfectly blended into the landscape. It boasts great windows, natural light and parquet floorings throughout, equipped with solar panels and all modern comforts. Casale La Guardiaccia is surrounded by approximately 3.92 hectares/9.7 acres of land including olive groves, woodland, and3 horse boxes. Located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside between Florence and Arezzo—both reachable within 30 minutes by car—the property sits amidst medieval villages, wineries, and agriturismos, just 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from Loro Ciuffenna, a charming medieval village known for its ancient watermill, still in operation today. The A1 motorway junction is only 15 km away, and The Mall Luxury Outlet can be reached in about twenty minutes.
