Rustic Country House in Chianti, Tuscany

Details

Set along one of the most enchanting roads of the Chianti Classico Senese, framed by rolling hills dotted with vineyards, olive groves and historic castles, this farmhouse with agricultural estate blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Once a convent with its own church, the property has evolved over the centuries into an elegant rural residence, retaining a deep sense of calm and authenticity. A cypress-lined driveway leads to the heart of the estate, where life unfolds at a natural pace, suspended between history and everyday comfort. The property extends over approximately 530 square metres and includes the main farmhouse, a former stable, a barn and an independent cottage arranged around a charming internal courtyard. The farmhouse welcomes with multiple entrances and generous interiors: on the ground floor there are two storage rooms and a limonaia, as well as a spacious living area of about 60 square metres with kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Original internal stairs lead to the upper floor, where seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen are arranged into two separate yet interconnected apartments. The independent cottage offers an ideal space for guests, while the barn houses a third apartment with living room and kitchenette, two bedrooms and a bathroom, along with a large ground-floor storage and garage area. A separate shed provides additional parking. Surrounding the buildings, 7 hectares of land planted with around 600 olive trees embrace the estate, yielding 530 litres of olive oil in 2023. The restoration carried out between 1989 and 1994 introduced modern comforts such as LPG heating with two boilers, solar panels for hot water, insulated roofing, wooden windows with double glazing and a well-organised water system with mains supply and three rainwater tanks totalling 70,000 litres. Mornings here begin with soft light over the Chianti hills and end in the stillness of the countryside, while Siena is just 15 minutes away and the villages of Gaiole and Radda in Chianti are within easy reach. A property that naturally combines private living and agricultural tradition, offering an authentic Tuscan lifestyle shaped by space, nature and understated beauty.
