Castellated Tuscan Villa Near Florence

This property is listed for €2,990,000, on the market with Prima Real Estate Advisory.

Believed to be built on the site of a fortress, the villa has major castello vibes, with its battlements and even a panoramic tower, offering sweeping views over the countryside of Tuscany. 

The 4.94 acre estate includes a limonaia (a greenhouse for citrus plants) and a chapel, alongside its orchard and olive groves, and a woodland area with ancient trees.

It wouldn’t be a villa in Tuscany without an Italianate garden, visible from the shaded dining area on the pool terrace, where you’ll find the 40 foot mosaic-lined salt water pool and a pool house. 

Offering almost 14,000 square feet of living space, the villa has 9 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and several reception rooms, with the main living room opening out to the terraces which surround the home. 

The villa comes with an art studio, and an additional room, which could be converted into a home gym or wine cellar. The villa has a separate 2-bedroom staff apartment, with private entry from the parking area.

A truly exceptional property in the countryside of Tuscany, with a lot of potential as a dreamy second home and a rental-income property in one of the most sought-after destinations for boutique tourism in Italy.
