Prestigious Renaissance Complex Near Florence

On the top of a hill around the gentle slopes of Scandicci, near Florence, this magnificent Renaissance complex dating back to the 14th century is for sale in an exceptional panoramic position.

Its large total area of 3,400 sqm is divided between the main villa with its characteristic original turret, the old oil mill annex, currently used as a reception room, and a greenhouse. Near the entrance to the main house we also find a small, bright chapel, while to the west of the property, completely independent, a further farmhouse offers four living units. Finally, there is a historical wine cellar and three outbuildings. Equally impressive is the area occupied by the property's land, which is entirely fenced off and extends for 13 hectares in a context of unquestionable beauty and tranquillity among the hills of Scandicci. Of these 13 hectares in total, 6 are kept as D.O.C.G. Chianti Putto vineyards, 5 as olive groves with 500 trees, one is destined for the villa's park with a swimming pool area and one as woodland.

Its privileged location offers a dominant position over the city of Florence and the surrounding hills, creating a natural setting of unparalleled beauty. Tranquillity and privacy are ensured by the dominating position over the Florentine countryside, making this villa an exclusive retreat far from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet conveniently close to the city's rich cultural and social offerings.

Elegant and refined, the main house comprises three floors, plus cellar rooms in the basement, with a total area of approximately 1,400 sqm. A charming original turret emerges from the complex. The interiors, perfectly restored and tastefully furnished, are spacious and bright, with incredible views of the surrounding typically Tuscan landscape and of the irregularly shaped swimming pool, located in the heart of the park and accessible by a scenic stone staircase. Perfectly manicured, the one-hectare park - with another adjoining olive grove - accommodates changing rooms in the pool area, a bar area with services and shower, and playgrounds and tennis courts.

Attached to the main villa are the former oil mill, now used as a reception room, and a greenhouse, used as a study. A splendid original chapel of the period stands near the main gate, while on the west side of the property, completely independent from the villa, is a two-storey building with a large loggia that houses four other residential units, for a total of 310 square metres, as well as a small adjoining shed. Within the agricultural part, in continuity with the farmhouses, there are three outbuildings of various sizes and an ancient vat cellar of 245 sqm for wine-making.

This is a huge, prestigious Renaissance complex for sale in the hills of Scandicci, ideal for indulging in an unparalleled living experience, a mix of culture, natural beauty and Tuscan authenticity on the outskirts of Florence.
