Tuscany, Italy

Accommodation

The building complex is divided into 2 large structures located approximately 200 mts apart from each other. Each complex is detailed below:

The village hamlet is the first set of buildings you see when you reach the property from the direction of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. Part of the hamlet has historically been both a church and a monastery. The placement of individual structures within this complex is very important. The church is in a central position in relation to the other buildings which are positioned in such a way as to harmonize with the main buildings of the hamlet. The total surface area measures approximately 1270 sq mts (this includes the annexes which surround the main building).

The second large complex of buildings consists of a house with a Lombard tower and a Pieve (an historic part of the property belonging to the church) where many years ago the abbots from the nearby Abbey of Passignano stayed on their way to Vallombrosa. One of the most interesting parts of the building is the tower, and there is a lovely internal courtyard which creates a horseshoe shaped property. The total surface area of the buildings is approximately 940 sq mts which includes the second house which is situated only a short distance from the main residence and several annexes which surround the two houses. The property also includes land which measures approximately 20 hectares and which consists of approximately 10 hectares of Chianti Classico docg vineyards, approximately 8 hectares of olive groves and 2 hectares of woodland and arable land.

Location
The property is located in the renowned Chianti Classico Fiorentino area, on a hill which has sweeping views over the valley below, where some of the best national and international wine producers are situated. From this privileged position the property enjoys views which include the city of Florence and stretch as far as the Emilio-Tuscan Apennine mountains which include Mount Abetone, and onwards towards Pistoia. The property is positioned at the centre of some major road networks which makes it easily accessible from all sides, for instance the famous Cassia road, the Chiantigiana Route 222 and the A1 motorway which links Florence to Certosa are only 7 kms away, the Superstrada which links Florence to Siena has an exit at Tavarnelle which is only 6 kms drive. The Fi-Pi-Li (Firenze-Pisa-Livorno) exit Ginestra Fiorentina is only 8 kms away. The airports of Florence and Pisa are approximately 23 kms and 69 kms respectively. The distance to nearby cities is as follows: Florence and Fiesole are 10 kms, and the capitals of the municipalities of Chianti Classico Fiorentino such as San Casciano 5 kms, Greve in Chianti 6 kms, Impruneta 6 kms, Tavarnelle 7 kms, and the Golf di Ugolino is as mere 7 kms drive. It is only a short drive to historic centres such as Siena (41 kms), Volterra (48 kms) and San Gimignano (34kms).



Utilities
All the services are already available at the property therefore it will only need a simple reconnection to be able to use them during the restoration work . With regards water, interestingly the service is provided free to these properties because during the period of the construction of the water network the Comune was allowed use of the land and all the relevant sources of water which was present on it.

Potential Land Use
This complex of buildings has a large surface area, a prestigious position with wonderful panoramic views over a truly unique landscape below, close proximity to the major centres of the area and excellent communication networks which make it very easy to reach different areas very quickly but which do not intrude or disturb the peace and quiet of the landscapes. All of this means that the property lends itself to a variety of future uses, from being a simple working farm, to being converted into a residential complex of luxury units or, of course, it would make a very prestigious private residence.

Condition

The entire building complex is in need of restructuring: the outside façades of the buildings are made of stone and brick, and internally there are high vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams and stunning brick vaulted ceilings. During the restoration wo
