Prestigious estate with an olive grove for sale in the heart of Tuscany
Majestic estate surrounded by the typical Tuscan landscape for sale near Florence
In the province of Florence, on the sweet rolling hills of the town where the ingenious Leonardo da Vinci was born, there is this majestic estate for sale. The property offers 1,000 sqm of internal spaces, divided between a main house built in the nineteenth century and other annexes. Around it there is a vast land of over 1 hectare which includes a well-kept garden, an area equipped with a swimming pool and an olive grove. The villa is in a high position overlooking the surrounding landscape, from which the eye is captivated by the sinuous lines of a countryside dotted with cultivated fields, vineyards, olive groves and the typical rows of Tuscan cypresses.
The medieval village of Vinci is a place steeped in history, known throughout the world for being the birthplace of one of the most influential geniuses in the history of art, science and invention who ever lived: Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo spent his childhood in this rural, enchanting environment which, with its biodiversity, had a lasting impact on his artistic and scientific works. By virtue of its historical-artistic importance, the municipality was awarded the "Title of City" with the decree of President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi in 1954.
Access to the property is via a scenic tree-lined avenue that winds its way through the cypresses and olive trees up to the main villa, originally from the 19th century. Inside the villa, the spaces are spread over three levels and are characterized by a rustic style typical of the Tuscan tradition, with terracotta floors and ceilings with exposed wooden beams. On the ground floor, there is a large and elegant living area, consisting of an entrance hall, a living room, a dining room with a fireplace and a kitchen. Going up the stairs, you access a further living room and three double bedrooms with private bathrooms, while the second and last floor houses a guest bedroom. The property also has a basement, cellars and other independent outbuildings.
The villa overlooks a large plot of 11,000 sqm which offers an atmosphere of serenity and peace, ideal for forgetting the metropolitan chaos. Inside a lush and well-kept garden of 7,600 sqm, there is a modern 12-metre swimming pool, perfect for relaxing during hot summer days and spending convivial moments with family and friends. The pool area is comfortably equipped with an outdoor shower, pergola and barbecue. Part of the surrounding land is also cultivated with olive groves that produce a small quantity of oil.
This historical villa for sale, with its rustic design and elegant details, is the perfect place for those who want to experience the authentic atmosphere of Tuscany in maximum comfort and privacy. The villa is also strategically positioned to easily reach some of the most beautiful cities in Italy, including Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Pistoia.
