THIS PROPERTY IS SOLD
Detached house on small hill 40 minutes north of Florence.

Approx 285m2 with 11 rooms, with a big stable underneath (for 15 cows!) with vaulted ceilings that could be converted.

The property consists of;
4 bedrooms, two sitting rooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen, hall, 2 outbuildings plus stable underneath, but not below ground - whole length of house.

It was restored several years ago and the current owner has remodelled the two bathrooms and the big kitchen.

It is rustic, lots of beams, fireplace and two wood burning stoves - central heating.

Swimming pool, lovely garden and views across valley to the Appenines.

5 minutes from Borgo San Lorenzo and 10 from Vicchio. Both have train stations.

Land - 2660sqms with bay and laurel hedges.

Adjacent small private vineyard on one side, free range chickens and ducks on the other side.

The handmade kitchen is included and some furniture could be included by negotiation.

Working bread/pizza oven
Mains gas and water.
Excellent condition.


The main advantage is that it is detached, but in a small hamlet - there are 22 in the hamlet on the hill - but the house is not overlooked by anyone nor does it overlook anyone.

The property lies about half a mile from the main road and it's just a 10 minute drive to the main Mugellan town of Borgo San Lorenzo - (train station and good community with many shops etc) and a 40 minute drive to Florence.

More rooms can be restored in the stables area (which has a nice high vaulted ceiling).

The green gates are a welcoming sight after the steep crawl up the unmade road, and the views across the valley and the breezes are a joy. The delightful owner will soon have you seated in her farmhouse kitchen (or under the parasol on the patio): a glass of homemade lemonade, a slice of something sweet; you can't help but feel there's nowhere else you'd rather be. The airy sitting room has high ceiling arches interrupted by the odd beam, and deep sills; white walls are busy with paintings, puffed-up white sofas sit under mounds of cushions, fresh flowers rest on polished tables; there's more than just a touch of Englishness about the place. Pretty bedrooms have terracotta floor tiles, patchwork quilts and more views. Children will entertain themselves for hours in the charming garden, on the swing under the mulberry tree or in the pool. Adults may flop into the hammock with a chilled glass of the neighbour's organic wine; the peace is broken only by the faint shuffles of next door's hens. Walk straight into the woods carpeted in spring with orchids, or pop into Borgo San Lorenzo, an eight-minute drive.

Borgo San Lorenzo - 5 minutes by car
Vicchio - 10 minutes by car
Fiesole - 20 minutes by car
Florence - 40 minutes by car
