| Accommodation | This estate is on the road leading on from San Casciano Val di Pesa. It has a church, which has since become a convent. Each single property within the estate is unique; the church has a central position and the buildings have been designed and positioned to blend into the landscape as harmoniously as possible. The outbuildings cover 1270m2.The surrounding land covers ten hectares, which is divided as follows: five hectares of Chianti Classico docg vineyard , four hectares of olive groves and one hectare of woodland ( both cultivated and wild ).
Location The property is in the famous Florentine Chianti Classic area, nestling in the hills overlooking some of the most important vineyards of the world. From this privileged position the view takes in the city of Florence, as far as Mount Abetone in the Tuscan Emilian Appenine mountains. The position is rural; peace and quiet reign here, yet in a short distance it is possible to reach many main road links.
Indeed, the communication links are excellent, being near the nerve centre of many road and rail networks: the Cassia; the Chiantigiana SS 222; the Florence Certosa exit of the A1 motorway is just 7 kms away ; the Tavernelle exit of the Florence- Siena dual carriageway is just 6 kms away and the Ginestra Florentine exit of the FI – PI – LI ( Florence – Pisa – Livorno) dual carriageway is 8 kms away. Florence airport is 23 kms away and Pisa airport 69 kms. Many important towns are within easy driving distance:- Florence and Fiesole ( 10kms), San Casciano Val di Pesa ( 5), Greve in Chianti ( 6 kms ) , Impruneta ( 6 kms), Tavernelle ( 7 kms ), Golf Ugolino ( 7 kms), Siena ( 41 kms), Volterra ( 48 kms ) and San Gimignano ( 34 kms).
Utilities All the utilities are present; during renovation work it should be relatively easy to connect them all. An interesting and important factor regarding the water supply - the water is provided free of
charge due to an agreement involving the land dating back many years, between the estate and the town hall.
Potential Land Use Given the size and spectacular location of this estate, and the excellent communication links, this property has great potential. It could be used as a farming business, a high quality agriturismo , a luxury residence or as a prestigious conference centre for business meetings. |
