Description

Set amid the scenic landscapes outside Florence, this 16th-century estate offers an extraordinary blend of history, elegance, and grandeur. Accessible by a tree-lined path through an oak forest, the property spans approximately 2000 sq.m and features a central villa and several outbuildings, including a 17th-century private chapel, a caretaker’s house, two farmhouses, and additional agricultural structures. This expansive layout forms a secluded hamlet set on 24 hectares (59 acres) of land, with olive groves, meadows, and woodland.

The villa, with roots tracing back to a noble Florentine family, boasts original architectural features and stunning period details. The ground floor welcomes guests into stately living rooms and a dining area overlooking an exquisite Italian garden, while service rooms and a spacious kitchen provide practical convenience. Ascending to the upper floors, the villa reveals expansive bedrooms, two kitchens, multiple service rooms, and a charming panoramic loggia with captivating countryside views. The basement houses original cellars, preserving the historical essence of the estate.

Beyond the villa, the Italian garden unfolds in tiered terraces adorned with a central water basin, boxwood hedges, statues, and lush greenery. The property retains a historic “burraia” used for butter production and a stone-lined frigidarium near the garden’s natural spring, maintaining its Renaissance charm. The estate, requiring some restoration, has been carefully preserved with terracotta floors, wooden beams, and frescoed walls since its last major update in the 1930s, offering a timeless ambiance.

With essential services nearby and Florence only a 20-minute drive away, this property offers excellent potential as a luxury residence, rental, or venue for grand events. Its idyllic setting provides both privacy and proximity to the vibrant cultural life of Florence, making it an exceptional opportunity to experience Renaissance living at its finest.
