Splendid historic villa with swimming pool and 5 hectares of land for sale a few kilometers from the historic center of Florence. Built in 1780 and recently renovated, the property is truly unique. The main building of the complex is a manor house with a crenellated tower, which gives it the charm of a small castle and offers an enchanting view of the horizon and even of the Cathedral of Florence. Added to this are a farmhouse and a barn transformed into a delightful annex, for a total internal surface area of 1500 m2. The vast surrounding land of 5 hectares includes a garden with swimming pool, an olive grove, a forest and an arable area. The origins date back to Roman times, with traces of a fortification still present in the cellar, located on an ancient road that led to Rome. Property of various noble families, the villa was enlarged over the centuries and transformed into a sumptuous stately home, so much so that it was cited by the Florentine historian Carocci in 1428 as one of the most representative buildings in the area. Immersed in the Chianti Classico, the estate originally produced wine, olive oil, wheat and raised farmyard animals; today it still boasts olive groves that continue to produce organic olive oil. World War II left its mark on the villa, which was occupied by German and British forces during the conflict, given its dominant position at the southern entrance to Florence. The recent renovation respected the original architecture of the structure, maintaining and enhancing historical details such as the vaulted ceilings and restored original materials, and at the same time introducing modern anti-seismic systems, fine finishes and everything necessary to guarantee maximum comfort.
