Main Features
Description
In the heart of the Historic Chianti, where the land tells its millennial history, lies one of the rarest farmhouse properties that has managed to preserve its essence intact. This property, fortunately untouched by renovation work, still retains the beauty of the past, giving the emotion of a distant era, which seems to be suspended in time.
The ancient farmhouse, built of living stone, sinks its roots in the eleventh century, as evidenced by an official document from that time. A fascinating testimony to an era when life followed slow rhythms and was deeply connected to the land. Artifacts of Etruscan origin, dating back to 600 BC, have been found in the surrounding land, the subject of a study by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in 1929, which suggests the existence of a settlement prior to the medieval one, thus adding an even more ancient and mysterious dimension to this property.
The road leading to the house is one of the most beautiful in the Chianti, a true journey into the heart of this land, among the most significant castles in the area. Arriving, you are greeted by an authentic atmosphere, which transports anyone to another era, where time seems to slow down and every corner tells a story.
The main farmhouse, with its 450 sq m, holds within it traces of a history that has developed over the centuries. Its central part, probably originally a watchtower and a link between the nearby castles, is a witness to a past rich in meetings and border stories. Around it, over the centuries, the residential core has developed. On the east side, two old barns – one of approximately 120 sq m, to be renovated with the ancient terracotta courtyard, and the other of approximately 50 sq m – evoke the agricultural past of the property, preserving a rustic and peasant beauty.
The ground floor of the main farmhouse is a perfect example of traditional architecture: large arches in bricks and stones characterize the stables, warehouses and cellars, while the covered loggia with the old working oven is the beating heart of the house, a suggestive corner that looks to the past. From the second loggia you access the large living room with fireplace, a symbol of hospitality and warmth, which leads to the kitchen and the sleeping area, consisting of six bedrooms and two bathrooms. In the tower, an additional room, silent and secluded, allows you to savor the history from a unique perspective.
Surrounded by approximately 4 hectares of land, with approximately 130 olive trees, the property enjoys a privileged position, where nature, history and tradition blend in perfect harmony.
The property is served by the municipal aqueduct and GPL for heating, as well as some wood stoves.
Only 12 km from Siena, 22 km from Radda in Chianti and 15 km from Gaiole in Chianti, the property is conveniently accessible, while only 3 km away you can find all essential services, from the bar to the pharmacy, from the restaurant to the petrol station.
A place where every detail tells a story, where the past and the present meet to offer a unique opportunity to experience the true essence of the Chianti.
