Luxury Country House For Sale On Florence's Hills

On the picturesque Tuscan hills near Florence, this Country House with a swimming pool is for sale. This elegant country estate was once a small medieval village, now beautifully restored and furnished according to Tuscany's architectural traditions. A perfect balance between sophistication and tradition characterizes this luxurious estate, spread over 40 hectares of land, which houses three charming renovated farmhouses, with a total surface area of 1,950 sqm. The grounds surrounding this Country House follow the sinuous movement of the Tuscan hills, embracing cultivated fields, olive groves, manicured gardens and a magnificent modern infinity pool.

This historical estate has spanned centuries, its history dating back to 1586, when the Country House was a medieval village that belonged to the Benedictine monastery of Vallombrosa. Subsequently, it was sold to the noble family of Verrazzano, who in 1711 donated it to the order of San Francesco. Each stone is a precious piece of its history, which is why the three farmhouses have been carefully restored to recreate the atmosphere of the ancient rural houses typical of Tuscan villages.

Today, the Country House has been expertly restored to immerse guests in an atmosphere of intimate connection with nature. The estate offers three elegantly furnished farmhouses equipped with all modern comforts, while maintaining the traditional roots of the place. The farmhouses stand out for their typical elements, such as ceilings with wooden beams, antique terracotta floors, walnut furniture, warm-toned tapestries and stone elements. The ground floor offers guests welcoming lounges, while the sleeping area is located on the first level. Each farmhouse can accommodate six, five and two beds respectively, and has fireplaces for heating and cutting-edge systems.

The location of the estate, in the immediate vicinity of Florence, offers a bucolic atmosphere. It can be reached via a dirt road lined with cypress trees, which opens onto a hilly landscape dotted with olive trees. In more recent times, the estate has been dedicated to the production of extra virgin olive oil, using its 40 hectares of olive groves. The result is an organic oil of the highest quality, known for its taste, its consistency and its authenticity. The land is also used for the production of vegetables and fruit, including ancient varieties. A large part of the property is covered by enchanting forests which are home to rare botanical species, such as the bumblebee orchid, and are inhabited by wild animals. The bucolic garden hosts a splendid modern infinity pool, which blends harmoniously with the surroundings.
