Well-restored stone farmhouse in the heart of Chianti, Tuscany.
With origins as a watchtower a little over a thousand years ago, this marvellous example of a Chianti farmhouse offers high standards and comfort thanks to the recent renovation carried out by the current owners. Built on the natural slope of a hill and with several floors, the farmhouse enjoys a perfect south/westerly facing and the rooms inside are beautifully bright. The main unit, of ca.340 sqm, is spread over two floors. The main floor has external access to a panoramic terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. The spacious entrance is extremely well-lit thanks to the large window (once a wagon entrance). Three distinct rooms connect to the main entrance: the study on the left, a small living room characterised by a wonderful and cosy fireplace and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with large island with marble surface. The living room is connected through a wonderful archway to the dining room and on to another living room that is more generous in size. This living room has, in addition to the wonderful exposed beams, a completely independent access. Steps lead up to the third living room, also with independent external access. A beautifully renovated staircase leads to the upper floor, also with external access. A bathroom on the mezzanine floor serves the large living room which hosts the old oven and the working stove. The first floor consists of 4 en suite double bedrooms. On the upper floor (second floor) is a study with the possibility to create a bathroom. Included in the sale are 11 hectares of totally fenced land, mostly arable, a 6m x 12m swimming pool, 110 olive trees, a well and a spring. The house uses a pellet boiler for heating and LPG gas for cooking and hot water in the summer. An agricultural annexe of ca. 30 sqm completes the sale
