San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Florence (province)

Chianti

18 km from Florence in the Chianti Florentine area and with views over the foothills of the city is located this splendid estate. From it’s privileged position one can enjoy not only the view of Florence but also overlook the Tuscan- Emilian Appenine mountains, the peak of the Abetone mountain to being visible on clear days. The property is also well positioned for road access making it easily accessible from different directions. 
In an elevated and panoramic location, the estate is composed of two nucleus’s that almost border one another. The total surface area of the properties is 6,353 sqm gross and the total surface area of the land, divided between 28 ha of vineyards of which 28 ha are registred as Chianti Classico DOCG, olive groves, arable land and woods, is 144 ha.
The first estate nucleus comprises a 12th century villa, originally a monastery, in good condition, a small castle with a medieval tower, a two floored production cellar adjacent to the castle, a further residential farmhouse house with original wooden ceilings and terra cotta floors and an old stable block for a total surface area of 3,160 sqm.
The second hamlet, which also dating from the 1200s, is composed of several separate buildings, as well as a barn, a stable block and the old pig stye. The buildings cover an area of 1,714 sqm. The entire complex needs renovations. The external walls are in brick work and stone, the ceilings are vaulted with exposed wooden beams. Much of the material needed to carry out the renovation work can be recuperated directly from the estate.
Three further houses all with outbuildings complete the property for a total area of 1,479 m2.
The estate, given the size of the surfaces, the prestigious panoramic position in this area and the proximity to important centers of the area and to the major communication infrastructures that facilitate accessibility, would lend itself to multiple uses and destinations: from farm to agritourism, from luxury residential complex as a representative center for companies with adjoining prestigious private residence.
