9 bedrooms villa, 1100 m²

Barberino Tavarnelle, Florence (province)

In the heart of the most authentic Tuscany, in a privileged location among the enchanting hills of Chianti, lies a prestigious wine-producing estate of extraordinary charm, surrounded by a landscape where natural beauty, architectural heritage and agricultural tradition blend in a balance of rare elegance. A picturesque unpaved country lane leads to the property, passing through vineyards, olive groves and rows of cypress trees before revealing a residential complex of great character, surrounded by panoramic views stretching across the gentle contours of the Tuscan countryside. The estate extends over more than 21 hectares of land, comprising approximately 9 hectares of vineyards, 1 hectare of olive groves, 8 hectares of arable land, 1 hectare of woodland and a charming orchard, a distribution that reflects the richness and diversity of this substantial landed property. At the heart of the estate stand two charming country houses, with a stated total floor area of approximately 1,100 sqm, in which traditional Tuscan rural architecture reveals its distinctive character through original materials, harmonious proportions and particularly evocative construction details. The interiors preserve the charm of historic country residences, with ceilings adorned with exposed wooden beams, natural stone walls, terracotta floors and characteristic arches that give the rooms a warm and refined atmosphere. Since 2004, the property has undergone a process of restoration and enhancement involving both the buildings and the agricultural land, with work aimed at preserving its historical identity and developing its productive and hospitality potential. Part of the buildings has been carefully renovated, while additional areas still awaiting restoration offer attractive opportunities for customisation, allowing the spaces to be adapted to the requirements of a prestigious private residence or an exclusive hospitality project. On the ground floor, the main country house features a reception area, a spacious room dedicated to relaxation and social gatherings, a bright glass-enclosed veranda overlooking the surrounding landscape and a guest bathroom. The generous openings and elegant arches make the most of natural light, creating a continuous connection between the interiors and outdoor spaces. The residential accommodation comprises several independent units, including a substantial apartment with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room with fireplace, a dining room and a magnificent panoramic terrace overlooking the valley and swimming pool, from which the surrounding countryside can be admired in all its beauty. A further residence, situated in a secluded section of the ground floor, offers two bedrooms, a study, a kitchen and a bathroom, making it particularly suitable for use as the owner's private residence. The residential layout is completed by two independent apartments located in a more recently constructed part of the complex, each comprising two bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area with kitchenette, ideal for accommodating guests in an atmosphere of privacy and tranquillity. The property also features a distinctive panoramic tower, one of the most original architectural elements of the entire complex, housing a charming glass-enclosed sitting room with 360-degree views over the Chianti hills, an intimate and light-filled space from which to contemplate the landscape throughout the seasons. The outdoor areas have been arranged to enhance the natural beauty of the setting, with landscaped green spaces, relaxation areas and a swimming pool harmoniously integrated into the surroundings, ideal for enjoying moments of absolute tranquillity while admiring the vineyards and the contours of the hills. Particular importance is attached to the estate's wine-producing component, which represents a distinctive feature and a significant opportunity for economic enhancement. The vineyards, which have undergone renewal and expansion over time, extend across the hillside land surrounding the buildings, benefiting from a climate and soil conditions historically suited to the production of quality wines. The composition of the soils, characterised by the presence of clay, silt and rocky components, contributes to the identity of the crops, while the estate's wine production comprises five labels, reflecting the local winemaking tradition and the appreciation of grapes grown on the property. The presence of a winery and areas dedicated to agricultural activities makes it possible to complement the residential function with a genuine productive vocation, offering attractive prospects for the development of a project centred on wine, tastings and wine tourism. In addition to its agricultural activities, the estate also benefits from an established hospitality business, with independent apartments intended for tourist accommodation, offering stays immersed in the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. The layout of the accommodation, the availability of communal spaces and the presence of the swimming pool provide an attractive foundation for further development towards a charming hospitality concept, in which food and wine experiences, well-being and exploration of the surrounding region can become integral parts of the offering. The location represents another valuable asset: immersed in the privacy of the countryside, the property provides access to some of Tuscany's most important artistic and cultural destinations, including Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra, making it particularly appealing to international buyers. The combination of buildings, extensive grounds, productive vineyards and versatile spaces gives this estate a multifaceted real estate identity, capable of meeting different requirements for use and investment. A property that stands out not only for the charm of its architecture and the quality of its landscape setting, but also for the opportunity to combine a prestigious private residence with an existing agricultural and hospitality business. A place of remarkable character, where the value of tradition meets new development prospects and where every element, from the ancient stone walls to the vineyards tracing the contours of the hills, contributes to creating an exclusive living experience deeply rooted in the timeless identity and beauty of Tuscany.
