20 bedrooms farm, 1750 m²

Palaia, Pisa (province)

GINESTRA ESTATE- This historic estate with swimming pool and large park for sale in the hills of Pisa has its origins in an ancient 17th-century farmhouse. The property, a haven of tranquillity in the heart of authentic Tuscany, is accessible via a road that is partly unpaved but well maintained.
The estate of approximately 1,750 square metres of buildings consists of the recently renovated main villa, a second connected building in need of renovation, a third independent building, as well as large ruins to be restored, two swimming pools and a vast park, all set in approximately 50 hectares of land, of which approximately 2 hectares are planted with vineyards, approximately 4 hectares with olive groves in production, and the rest used for arable cultivation, with a portion of woodland. 
The main villa has been restored keeping the original architectural features intact: stone and brick walls, barrel and cross vaults, exposed beams and arches connecting the rooms on the ground floor. Some terracotta floors and traditional finishes harmonise with modern comforts, such as en-suite bathrooms in all bedrooms. Upon entering the villa, you are greeted by an elegant entrance hall leading to the living area, which consists of several living rooms, a reading room, a dining room with a historic fireplace and a large kitchen connected to the garden. The kitchen leads to two large, charming rooms, ideal as a reception room or tasting room, which can be renovated according to your needs. The floor is completed by a bathroom with shower.
Climbing the original stone staircase to the two upper floors, you will find the sleeping area, with ten comfortable bedrooms distributed evenly over the two levels. Each room, decorated in warm tones, is bright and spacious and has an en-suite bathroom. On the first floor, there is also a bedroom with a large private terrace overlooking the surrounding rolling hills. The ceilings of the rooms on the second floor are characterised by high ceilings with exposed beams and bricks, adding a touch of authenticity and charm.
Adjacent to the villa and connected to it, the second building, which needs to be renovated, has two floors and houses the old cellars on the ground floor. On the first floor, there is a large flat with access via a charming external staircase, ideal for guests or staff. Adjacent to the villa is a third building, also on two levels and in need of renovation, consisting of warehouses on the ground floor, currently used as a shelter for agricultural vehicles, and an old wood-burning oven. Internal stairs provide access to the accommodations on the first floor.
Walking towards the pool area, you will find the ruins of a large barn, which can be restored and converted, subject to municipal authorisation, into an additional residence, spa or other accommodation facility, thus offering further development opportunities.
The park adjacent to the villa, which is mainly flat, a rarity in the hills, is enriched with tall trees, well-kept gardens and spots equipped for relaxation and conviviality, such as a barbecue area and a dining area in the shade of a large centuries-old tree. A few metres from the villa, on a natural terrace with breathtaking views, is the pool area, with a pool for adults and a smaller one for children, surrounded by a solarium that offers an enchanting view of the Tuscan hills adorned with olive groves and vineyards.
This charming estate for sale in Tuscany represents a unique opportunity as the combination of the various building elements with its land and its privileged location, not far from the major cities of art, make this property perfect both as an exclusive residence and as a charming accommodation facility, with the potential to develop a high-level agricultural and wine-growing business.
