Manor Villa in the Chianti Hills

This splendid Art Nouveau villa is located in a dominant position in the Chianti hills. Originally, the villa served as a church for the community of Magliano, but was later converted into a manor house by a noble Florentine family.
The property is easily accessible via an asphalted road leading to a private cypress-lined avenue a few hundred metres long. Currently, the view is slightly obstructed by the thick cypress trees, but once thinned out, it would reveal a breathtaking 360-degree panorama.
The property faces south and therefore benefits from sunlight throughout the day and a particularly pleasant microclimate. The villa, which is completely independent and free on four sides, has undergone a very recent renovation that involved the roof, which has been completely redone, and included the installation of a 25 sqm photovoltaic system with a production capacity of 5 kW, the addition of a recharging station for electric cars, the insulation of the external walls with a thermal coat, the integration of heat pumps in the living and sleeping areas, and new thermo-insulating window frames. The villa is on two floors, to which is added the cellar located in the basement. Access to the house is through a large entrance hall that leads to the masonry kitchen, the dining room and the large living room where there is a functional fireplace. From the living room there is also access to the laundry room and a utility room. Currently, the kitchen is not directly connected to the dining room (temporarily converted into a room with a private bathroom), but the two rooms are easily reconnected and the latter can be easily reconverted into a dining room. The same applies to the connection of the dining room to the living room. On the ground floor there is also a service bathroom and access to the cellar of approximately 30 sqm, located in the basement. Climbing the beautiful stairs leads to a sitting room, which leads to the three spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom.
To the rear of the villa is a small renovated barn, stacked as a storage room, of approximately 25 sqm, including a barbecue. In front of the entrance to the villa is a beautiful terrace of about 35 sqm, with below a double storage room on two levels of about 45 sqm each. The property is surrounded by approximately one hectare of private land, at the moment consisting of a courtyard and woodland, with the possibility of purchasing further land, such as vineyards or olive groves. The property is served by the municipal waterworks for domestic use and a cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation of the garden. In addition, there is the possibility of building a swimming pool in the private courtyard.

The property is located in the heart of the Chianti region, in the municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle, less than 2 km from the village of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and less than 4 km from the medieval village of Barberino Val d’Elsa, a picturesque Tuscan hamlet known for its scenic beauty and authentic atmosphere rich in history. Both Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and Barberino Val d’Elsa offer all essential amenities, with restaurants, banks, post offices, bars, supermarkets and pharmacies within easy reach. Thanks to its privileged position amidst the rolling hills of the Florentine Chianti region, breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys covered in vineyards can be enjoyed from the property. The surrounding countryside offers the opportunity for scenic excursions and wine tastings in the numerous wine cellars in the area. This tranquil Tuscan municipality is an ideal place to immerse yourself in authentic Tuscan life while remaining within easy reach of art cities such as Florence and Siena. Florence is about 25 minutes by car, Siena about 30 minutes; the two cities are easily reached via the Florence-Siena highway, which is about 7 km away. The medieval villages of San Gimignano, Castellina in Chianti and Monteriggioni are also in the immediate vicinity. Florence airport is about 35 minutes away, Pisa airport about 1h15 and Rome Fiumicino airport about 2h30.
