Rustic Country House in Castellina, Tuscany

Details

The exposed wooden beams, the stone recurring in the bathrooms, and the presence of light marble in the washbasin immediately introduce the character of this rustic farmhouse, a property that maintains an authentic relationship with the materials and atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside. Built in 1900, the property stands out for its significant size and spaces that evoke a daily life filled with natural light, material details, and areas to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Even in the service areas, with white tile coverings, colored ceramic inserts, and small wooden windows, a coherence emerges that makes the house welcoming and recognizable. The numbers tell of a property with great breadth: 2,761 square meters of commercial space distributed across 16 rooms, with 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, a configuration that lends itself to an important private residence and, with the same ease, to representational or hospitality use. The fireplace adds an additional point of warmth to the interiors, while the cellar and parking spaces complete the functionality of the estate. Outside, the private garden accompanies the house in an intimate and reserved dimension, where the rectangular private pool, lined with green tiles and framed by natural stone paving, becomes a true focal point of outdoor life. Surrounding it are olive trees, terracotta pots, flowering areas, and equipped spaces for relaxation, with tables and seating that make the convivial use of the outdoors immediate. The presence of bricks in the pavements and stone retaining walls strengthens the connection with the rural context and provides a coherent, solid ensemble, never artificially constructed. An outdoor breakfast, a few hours by the pool, a dinner under the sky of the beautiful season: here the day finds different spaces, all well-rooted in the surrounding nature. The private garden fosters a continuous relationship between indoors and outdoors, while the presence of olive trees and stone surfaces helps create a secluded environment, suitable for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing the substance of an important property. Even the interiors, thanks to the light entering through the windows and the visible materials, maintain a measured and concrete tone, closer to substance than effect. This farmhouse in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of the province of Siena, combines spaciousness, privacy, and an architectural identity readable in the details. It is a property that finds its value in the overall dimension, the presence of the pool, the garden, the cellar, and a generous residential layout, capable of credibly interpreting the charm of the Tuscan countryside.
