Restored Country House in Barberino di Mugello, Tuscany

Details

Set among the Tuscan-Emilian hills, just a short drive from Barberino di Mugello, this charming 16th-century agricultural hamlet embodies the most authentic side of Tuscany, where silence, open landscapes and centuries-old architecture define everyday life. The main residence and its independent units overlook the surrounding greenery, creating a sense of timeless continuity between history and nature. Secluded yet well connected, the property enjoys easy access to Florence and the A1 motorway while offering the privacy of the countryside. The estate comprises a principal residence arranged over three levels, featuring generous reception rooms, kitchens and bedrooms, alongside several independent living units immersed in the landscape. One unit includes a living area and bedrooms with bathrooms, while a separate three-storey building, currently used for the production of natural herbs, benefits from an approved project to create four additional residential units with shared spaces. Outside, a garden of approximately 2,000 square metres opens onto about 10 hectares of land planted with olive trees and vineyards, enriched by a natural spring providing pure water to the entire estate. An ancient mill of notable historical charm completes the property. The comprehensive restoration has respected traditional Tuscan character while introducing modern comforts, seismic upgrades and energy-efficient solutions such as solar panels, thermal insulation and a biomass boiler. Days unfold here with a gentle rhythm, shaped by walks through the fields, the changing light of the hills and evenings filled with stillness and space. A rare opportunity, equally suited as an elegant private residence or as a hospitality project of character, where history, landscape and lifestyle come together in quiet harmony.
