16 bedrooms villa, 1000 m²

San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Florence (province)

Chianti

In the heart of the Chianti Classico hills, a few kilometers from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, stands an elegant manor house that belonged to the prestigious Strozzi family, built in the 14th century. This historic residence, with its timeless charm, is the centerpiece of an extraordinary estate of over 50 hectares that combines the prestige of Tuscan tradition with the potential of an important winemaking activity.


The property includes the villa of about 1,000 square meters, once belonged to one of the most important families of medieval Florence, a vineyard of 24.8 hectares, certified organic Chianti Classico DOCG and an olive grove of about 6 hectares. The entire company, thanks to organic farming, guarantees production of the highest quality in full respect of the environment.


The manor house, of about 1,000 square meters, is a noble residence of great charm, located on the edge of a characteristic Tuscan village. Its elegant style, with the two towers and the enchanting park at the back of over half a hectare, preserves the prestigious charm of Florentine history.
The building is spread over several levels also connected by a lift.
In the basement we find the ancient cellars and the oil warehouse; on the ground floor we find a double living room, the kitchen, the dining room and the refined reception rooms. On the first floor there are six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large living room, while the second floor hosts other bedrooms, in the turrets, with a panoramic view of the typical Tuscan hills. The interiors, cared for down to the smallest details, boast high quality finishes and a sophisticated atmosphere, embellished with authentic elements of the Tuscan tradition.


Next to the villa, two annexes of about 180 square meters and a lemon house of about 70 square meters offer additional living spaces ideal for guests or staff. The annexes, with access from the private parking, guarantee comfort and privacy, while the lemon house, currently used as a warehouse, can be converted into additional living spaces or recreational areas.


The entire estate extends over 50 hectares. The vineyard, the beating heart of the company, produces mainly Sangiovese grapes, as well as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with plants dating back to 1965 and more recent ones, now certified organic. Currently the property does not have a winemaking cellar, but through an agricultural improvement plan a modern winemaking cellar could be built with a capacity of about 170,000 bottles per year.


The olive groves of approximately 6 hectares, with 1,600 plants, produce an excellent extra virgin olive oil, marketed through direct sales.


In addition to wine and oil production, the estate offers great potential for the development of a high-level tourist-accommodation business. The strategic position allows easy access to the main art cities of Tuscany, making it an ideal solution for those looking for an exclusive investment.
