Villa for sale in Via di Fronzano, Castellina In Chianti, Toscana

Description

Historic farmhouse with swimming pool for sale on the hills of Castellina in Chianti, 40 km from the city of Florence and only 30 km from Siena. The property of about 1,200 sqm, with 18 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, dates back to the 16th century and is positioned in a predominant place among the wonderful vineyards of the renowned territory of the Black Rooster. The farmhouse includes 9 luxurious and spacious apartments, obtained from a meticulous work of recovery that involved the entire complex in 2010, preserving its historical charm and the authentic architectural characteristics of the Renaissance, when it was the home of the astronomer Galileo Galilei and his family.

The property is spread over two levels, in addition to an old barn from the 1800s, now used as a splendid outbuilding, in addition to the other 8 residential units, all with independent entrances.
The ground floor is divided into 5 apartments, each with its own private garden. The upper floor consists of 3 large apartments, as well as a turret and a spacious external loggia which can be accessed from one of the residential units. Each of the apartments measures between 100-140 sqm and consists of a living room, a kitchen, and a minimum of one to a maximum of 3 bedrooms.
The refined and authentic interior design is the master in each apartment, thanks to the delightful furnishings in the typical Tuscan style of high craftsmanship, the terracotta flooring, and the ceilings with exposed wooden beams.

The charming farmhouse, immersed in 50 hectares of highly prized vineyards in the heart of Chianti, is surrounded by about one hectare of private land which includes a wonderful pine forest and an olive grove with about 50 trees. Not far away, inside the ancient walls where the barn was originally located, there is a charming swimming pool with a solarium area.
The property includes a cellar located in the basement of the main body and two large parking areas.
