On the hills of Chianti Classico, not far from Greve, 45.3-ha wine estate for sale. The property consists of a rustic farmhouse and a pleasant wine cellar with potential for approx. 180,000 bottles of wine per year. The vineyard (25.8 ha) is fully registered as Chianti Classico DOCG and could be further expanded by converting the arable land on the estate (over 15 ha).
The property also has considerable potential for receptive development, thanks to the presence of two flats and a very quiet location. In addition, the free land of the farm could be very suitable for horses with the possibility of setting up a small riding school.
Basic services are available in the nearby village (1km; 2'), which can also be reached on foot, while a supermarket is available a little further away (6km; 10'). In less than an hour, passing through the suggestive Chianti hills, one can reach the historic center of Florence to the north.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (350 sqm – 3,766 sqft, 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is located at the top of the hill, reached by a driveway through the property's vineyards. Structured on two floors, the building is divided into two living units plus two convenient storerooms on the ground floor with independent access.
- Master apartment (200 sqm – 2,152 sqft, ground and first floor): entrance, living room with service bathroom, large dining room with fireplace and kitchen on the lower floor; four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor;

The farm also has 15.5 ha of arable land that could easily be landscaped for planting new vines, which would considerably increase the property’s production potential. On the other hand, the grazing land (3.1 ha), with very limited slopes, is suitable if one were interested in developing the farm with the addition of a small riding facility for guests.
