BG-695 Our Exclusive, Fully Restored 12th-Century Medieval Tower - A Unique Home in the Heart of Tuscany
There are properties you buy. And then there are places that hold a history.
This extraordinary 12th-century medieval tower, dating back to the same period as the Torre di San Martino, represents a rare example of perfectly preserved historical architecture, where the charm of the past meets contemporary comfort and technology.
The property underwent a major and meticulous restoration, completed in 2012, fully respecting its original identity. Every intervention was carried out with high-quality materials and artisanal craftsmanship: the ancient bricks were sandblasted and restored to their former glory, the original stones were carefully hand-chiseled, while beams, mezzanines, and doors were handcrafted from over fifty-year-old chestnut wood.
The property extends over four levels, following the original shape of the tower and offering rooms rich in character, embellished with thick stone walls, ancient medieval arrow slits, stone arches, deep windows framed by original elements, and magnificent ceilings with exposed beams.
The heart of the home is a charming double-volume living room, embellished with an elegant wooden mezzanine and a large brick fireplace that makes the room particularly warm and welcoming.
The built-in kitchen with oven fits perfectly with the style of the home, while the splendid master bedroom on the top floor, spacious and bright, offers a unique atmosphere thanks to the chestnut beams, stone walls, and views of the surrounding countryside.
The house includes approximately 800 square meters of private garden, a private space where you can relax surrounded by nature, enjoying privacy and tranquility in every season.
From a systems point of view, the property offers modern solutions designed to guarantee high living comfort and energy efficiency:
Underfloor heating; wood-fired boiler; solar panels for hot water production; shatterproof glass; storage boiler with a capacity of over 1,500 liters; septic tanks sized for 12 people. A particularly valuable and rare feature is the presence of a natural spring in the cellar, a testament to the building's centuries-old history.
The property includes two private parking spaces, a private garden, and a location immersed in the quiet of the Tuscan countryside, yet conveniently connected to the main services.
A unique residence, ideal as a prestigious private residence, an elegant stately home, or an exclusive, charming accommodation, designed for those who wish to experience the authentic history of Tuscany every day.
