This property is on the market for €5,000,000, listed with Italy Sotheby’s International Realty.

Dating back to the 1100s, this medieval castle was built on the remains of an old Roman fort and is set in 7.41 acres of grounds in the heart of the Chianti countryside, just a few miles from Florence.

Between 1450 and 1500, the Tuscan castle was transformed into a noble residence by its owners, the Buondelmonti, a noble Florentine family who owned several castles in the region, including this estate which the family owned until 1845.

With its unique architectural heritage still intact after centuries, the Tuscan castle has been furnished with precious antiques and offers large rooms, beautiful stone features, and extensive, vaulted stone cellars divided into interconnecting rooms and voluminous corridors, which could be converted for use.

The 12 bedroom, 12 bath Tuscan castle has been beautifully restored by its current owners, featuring an elevator and a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the fortifications, surrounded by Roman statues in the adjacent loggia.

The property generates rental income as a luxury villa rental in Tuscany, and comes with a second house across from the main residence offering two, two-bedroom apartments.

A unique opportunity to own a Tuscan castle with a Renaissance pedigree, and plenty of potential for boutique tourism.
