395-Acre Tuscan Heritage Estate in Chianti Classico, Listed at €10M
A restored 17th-century villa. Nearly 400 acres of rolling vineyards and olive groves. A working winery producing over 110,000 bottles of Chianti Classico per year. Le Capraie Mansion is a rare blend of legacy, design, and terroir in the heart of one of Italy’s most coveted wine regions.
Where Heritage Meets Investment
Tuscany has long been a magnet for high-net-worth individuals seeking historic estates, but properties with this scale of land, architecture, and commercial potential rarely hit the market. The region’s luxury real estate sector is booming, with Chianti Classico estates among the most sought-after assets. Wine connoisseurs, investors, and those in the know (IYKYK) recognize the value of acquiring a property that blends historical prestige with modern revenue streams.
Less than an hour from Florence and 30 minutes from Siena, Le Capraie is strategically positioned to offer both tranquility and connectivity. The medieval town of Castellina in Chianti—just seven kilometers away—provides charming local amenities, while the estate itself offers absolute seclusion amid private vineyards, forests, and olive groves.
Timeless Grandeur and Resort-Style Pools
Step through the gates of this 17th-century Tuscan villa, and you’ll find a property that embodies centuries of architectural mastery. Originally built in Vanvitellian style, the estate is a study in symmetry and refinement, with a stately tower, arched windows, and elegant colonnades. Beyond its historic façade, the estate offers modern luxuries, including two swimming pools with panoramic countryside views, Italian-style gardens with fountains, and belvedere terraces designed for the ultimate Tuscan retreat.
The main residence spans 8 en-suite bedrooms, multiple dining spaces, a grand library, and a billiard room, all designed to frame panoramic views of the Chianti hills. Across the estate, historic 15th-century stone farmhouses have been converted into 11 guest apartments and a separate 24-bedroom villa, accommodating visitors or extended family with rustic-chic comfort.
A Thriving Wine & Olive Oil Estate
For those serious about winemaking, Le Capraie isn’t just a scenic estate—it’s a fully operational, 100% organic vineyard producing some of the region’s finest Chianti Classico DOCG wines. The 19.4 hectares (47.9 acres) of vineyards are planted with a mix of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Colorino, among other varietals. A fully equipped winemaking facility, aging cellars, tasting rooms, and an on-site shop complete the estate’s commercial infrastructure.
Beyond wine, the estate boasts 21 hectares (51.8 acres) of olive groves with 5,500 trees, producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil. There’s also an oil mill, orchards, a lake, and forests, making it a self-sustaining agricultural paradise.
Owning a Legacy
Le Capraie is more than an estate; it’s a statement of taste and legacy. Whether as a private retreat, a boutique hospitality venture, or a long-term investment in one of Italy’s most prized wine territories, this property offers historical gravitas with modern opportunity. With luxury real estate in Tuscany continuing to appreciate—particularly among international buyers—acquiring a Chianti Classico estate of this caliber is a savvy move with enduring value.
