This farmhouse sits in a splendid location with sunset views west over the valley with San Gimignano and Barberino on the skyline and gentle rolling olive groves, woodland, and vineyards as far as the eye can see.

Added to over the centuries but with origins probably in the 1400s, the property covers approximately 57 ha of land and the buildings are centred around a main house with its delightful courtyard. There are several outbuildings and it is seen how the property was added onto as the families grew.

With a barn, the original 'frantoio' or olive press, and a wood oven, the property would have been self-sufficient; an autonomy that the current owners have managed to recreate with solar and biomass for the heating, photovoltaic for electricity and with a large vegetable garden, chickens and waste recycling.

Bought as a ruin in 1985 by the present owners, the buildings offer ample accommodation for a large family home or a small hospitality business. The family has run a successful B+B business with the addition of weddings and large groups.

The approximately 900 sq m accommodation currently offers 20 bedrooms with bathrooms, many communal areas, an industrial kitchen, a limonaia, and a large, restored barn of over 300 sq m.

The immediate gardens running down to the pool comprise shady dining pergolas, olive groves, and wonderful rosemary hedges. They lead down to the panoramic pool terrace, which enjoys stunning west-facing views.

The property could benefit from some modernisation and/or rearranging of the accommodation for whatever use is required. There are two wells and mains water.

Once lived in by many farmers and their families this wonderful property offers total privacy and a real Tuscan atmosphere.
