Rustic Country House in San Gimignano, Tuscany

Details

The exposed brick façade, combined with stone and a tiled roof, immediately conveys the character of this rustic farmhouse in San Gimignano: a spacious property, rooted in the landscape and designed to be lived in naturally. Surrounding it, a vast private garden of 670,000 sqm guides the eye towards the outdoor spaces, where the pool is centrally placed in a tidy and open environment, with areas dedicated to relaxation. The whole exudes a sense of balance between rural architecture and the breath of the Tuscan countryside, with an authentic simplicity that leaves a lasting impression without needing embellishments. The numbers clearly convey the property's scale: 1,385 sqm of commercial space spread across 45 rooms and 20 bathrooms, a rare size that allows for different uses, from a grand private residence to a charming hospitality project, always respecting the identity of the place. The annex adds further flexibility to the spaces, while the garage, parking spaces, cellar, and tavern complete the structure with service and convivial areas that make the property complex and functional. Outside, the private pool is set within a very extensive green context, where plants, flowers, and areas furnished with tables and umbrellas define a simple and pleasant outdoor lifestyle. The house thus opens to a constant relationship with its land, and the presence of vineyards and trees in the surrounding landscape adds depth to the ensemble. The rustic window design and the composition of volumes reinforce the farmhouse's character, maintaining a coherence that is perceived both in the architecture and in the organization of the outdoor spaces. The private pool becomes the center of the sunniest days, while the garden invites relaxed rhythms, between moments of quiet and opportunities to share. Here, outdoor living is not an accessory detail but a concrete part of the living experience: an informal lunch in the outdoor spaces, a pause in the shade of umbrellas, the continuous relationship with the greenery and the agricultural landscape surrounding the property. The generous interior space also allows for a fluid management of time and guests, in a context that favors privacy and tranquility. The value of this farmhouse lies in the union of scale, context, and identity. San Gimignano, in the heart of the province of Siena, offers a highly appealing territorial setting, while the property stands out for the vastness of the garden, the presence of the pool, the annex, and a structure capable of accommodating a broad and personal living vision.
