Rustic Farmhouse in Chianti, Heart of Tuscany

Details

In the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, in the Siena countryside, this historic estate composed of a main farmhouse, a former colonica and an annex stands as a quiet landmark set within 45 hectares of Tuscan land. Reached by approximately 3 km of traditional country road, the approach winds through woodland and open fields, gradually revealing an authentic and private setting. The stone and rubble façades of the main farmhouse, strengthened by ancient buttresses, speak of its rural origins, while the partially enclosed courtyard preserves the original layout and creates an intimate, theatrical space leading to the main entrance, where architecture and landscape blend seamlessly. The farmhouse unfolds over several levels: on the ground floor, a striking double living room with fireplace connects naturally to a spacious kitchen, also featuring a fireplace, alongside the dining room and a guest bathroom; on the first floor there are three bedrooms, one bathroom and a large study with fireplace, ideal as a workspace or reading room; on the second and top level, within the turret, the master bedroom with en suite bathroom offers a private and atmospheric retreat. From the courtyard, a characteristic stone staircase leads to a poetic loggia connected to the first floor, opening onto sweeping views of the valley. Opposite the main house, a service building accommodates storage rooms, a laundry and a wine cellar. A few metres away, set within the gardens, a light-stone swimming pool blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings, while a comfortable dependance with kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms enhances the property’s hospitality potential. The remains of an ancient settlement and historic fortification add a rare and distinctive character. Both the main building and the guest house are in excellent condition, with imposing stone walls, restored original beams, stone arches and period doors preserving their historic mechanisms. Outdoor spaces alternate between level areas, natural terraces overlooking the valley and more secluded corners, all embraced by woodland, arable land and olive groves. Heating is powered by LPG with the possibility of conversion to a heat pump; the main house features underfloor heating, the guest house radiators, and water is supplied by a natural spring. Living here means inhabiting a landscape that breathes slowly, where stone absorbs the warmth of the sun and the quiet of the woods becomes part of everyday life. A place that holds memory and openness in equal measure, equally suited to a grand family residence or to an elegant hospitality project, always defined by deep authenticity and timeless charm.
