20 bedrooms villa, 2800 m²

Gaiole in Chianti, Siena (province)

Chianti

The Villa on the Lake, in the heart of Gaiole in Chianti

There is a place, between Siena and Florence, where time stands still.
A place where the hills gently chase each other, dressed in vineyards, ancient olive trees, and pine and oak forests that smell of summer. It is here, in the heart of Chianti Classico, that a property like few others in the world stands: a 120-hectare estate that encapsulates the very essence of Tuscany.

Once a hunting reserve of the Florentine nobility, today the villa overlooks a spread of harmonious lands, like a queen observing her own kingdom.
In front, a private lake, rare and poetic, reflects the sky and the vineyards: a small natural miracle that gives life, light, and freshness to the entire surrounding valley.

The Villa and its heart

The main body, the manor villa, exudes the charm of ancient Tuscan elegance: stone walls, exposed beams, terracotta floors worn by time, and large fireplaces that tell stories of hunting, wine, and family.
Surrounding it, three guest houses, each with its own garden, its own slow pace, and its own view of the countryside.
A few steps away, an agritourism restaurant welcomes those who wish to taste the products of the estate: wine, oil, honey, and fruits of the land, cultivated in an organic and authentic way.

The productive heart - Vineyards and olive groves

On the sunniest slopes, six hectares of DOCG Chianti Classico vineyards stretch out, cultivated with Sangiovese, a noble grape variety and symbol of the region.
Each row is cared for with respect and love, in the true spirit of organic farming, to obtain a wine that speaks of tradition and territory.
Further down, over 1,700 olive trees adorn the hillsides, providing an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality, fragrant, golden, and balanced.

The forest and the private reserve

On the wildest side, 95 hectares of united and uncontaminated woods keep the peace.
Cypresses, oaks, chestnuts, and maritime pines create an ancient landscape, perfect for those who love authentic nature or desire a private hunting retreat, a small paradise of fauna and silence.

The secret village

In the lowest point of the property, among greenery and streams, stands a millennium-old village, with three stone buildings surrounding the ancient mill.
A fascinating microcosm, with pools, terraces, and two hectares of flat meadows.
Here, time takes on another measure that of sunsets reflecting on the water and summer evenings spent with music and wine.

A perfect Tuscan biotope

The entire estate is a rare natural biotope, a harmonious combination of hills, woods, waters, and crops that complement each other.
Everything is within walking distance of the center of Gaiole in Chianti, with its cafes, shops, and international events like the Eroica and the Mille Miglia.
Yet, despite the proximity, silence reigns here: only the chirping of crickets, the wind through the cypresses, and the scent of fermenting must.

Location and potential

An hour and a half from the Ligurian Sea and less than an hour from Florence and Siena, the property is easily accessible but completely protected from the frenzy of the world.
It offers endless possibilities:

- Private residence of great representation
- Certified organic wine and olive estate
- Charming agritourism with restaurant and scattered hospitality
- Private nature and hunting reserve
- A place to live, not just to own

This is not simply a property.

A refuge for those seeking beauty, authenticity, and space where life is measured in sunsets, not in clocks.
