ANCIENT STONE COUNTRY HOUSE IN THE CHIANTI AREA, SIENA – TUSCANY
A quintessential centuries old farmhouse with private pool, tennis court, guest cottage, vineyard and olive grove for sale near Castellina in Chianti. Set in the heart of Chianti Classico within a wine estate, encompassed by warming natural scenery, the villa boasts vineyard views, on the border between Siena and Florence. The luxuriously planted gardens that wrap around the property feature an array of Mediterranean flowering shrubs, oak trees, private vineyards and centuries-old olive groves. Climbers and creepers scale the exterior walls of the stone farmhouse, allowing the property to blend into the surrounding landscape. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a spacious breakfast room and into a country style kitchen whose terracotta floors, beamed ceiling and copper cookware capture the essence of rural Tuscany style, with access to an outdoor terrace for al fresco dining. To the other side of the entrance hall is a large dining room that seats 14. The first floor is home to three spacious living rooms adorned with a fine collection of antiques, bookcases stuffed with an enviable collection of books, comfy sofas and grand fireplaces. The fully air-conditioned sleeping quarters are located on the first and second floor. All five bedrooms aside from the master bedroom are double-twins, and all but two benefit the privacy of modern, en-suite bathrooms. An abundance of drowsy terraces for lounging and dining; manicured lawns with hidden paths; and a dreamy pool area bathed in sunlight, cater for al fresco living and equipped with a pool house. Lush green lawns wrap around the pool that melts into a natural stone terrace furnished with modern loungers and a shaded dining area. A second pergola is set between the pool and villa and the third adjacent to the villa. A two-story cottage houses the guardian's home or can be used for guests. Perched at the end of a private driveway, this elegant country villa ensures maximum privacy and peacefulness on a secluded hilltop. Just 400 metres from the property lies a medieval village with one of the best restaurants in the area.
