Villa for sale in Toscana, Firenze, Rignano Sull'arno

Historic villa with vineyard and private chapel, in a beautiful panoramic position immersed in the typical Tuscan countryside, less than thirty minutes from Florence.

The property is one of the oldest in the area with the original layout consisting of a watchtower built in the ninth century; it consists of the main villa dating back to 1500, a guest apartment and a service apartment with independent entrance, a private chapel, large cellars, external outbuildings, including a barn in need of restoration, and land covering an area of 15.3 hectares, partly planted with vineyards and olive groves.

The manor house has a beautiful facade with a noble coat of arms and is on two main levels. From the garden we enter the ground floor and the beautiful living room with characteristic fireplace, a relaxation room with bathroom, a study, a dining room, a bedroom and the kitchen, which is also accessible from the inner courtyard. On the first floor we are greeted by a large room with billiards, connected to a bathroom in which we find an ancient stone arch, a master bedroom with bathroom, an additional bedroom with access to the charming loggia with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. On the same floor we find two more bedrooms and a room characterized by a ceiling with exposed beams, currently used as a sbratto room, but convertible into a studio or relaxation room. From the main living room it is possible to access the attic, perfect as a storage room.

Two independent entrances lead to the apartments: The first consists of a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; the second, on two levels, consists of five rooms and two bathrooms.

The private chapel has access directly from outside and is enriched by original 19th-century decorations.

Prominent among the outbuildings is the characteristic barn on two levels, in need of renovation.

The large cellars consist of storerooms and service rooms such as the vat room, the orciaia, and the area dedicated to wine bottling.

The villa is easily accessible by a well-maintained road and is located in a position from which it dominates the Arno River valley. The outdoor spaces are perfectly enjoyable, immersed in the colors and silences of unspoiled nature. The garden in front of the main facade opens onto the valley and offers spectacular views; the terraced garden on the opposite side is a perfect corner of privacy and relaxation.

The land covers a total area of 15.3 hectares. These include 1.3 hectares of "Chianti Colli Fiorentini" vineyard and an olive grove with about 1,000 trees in production.
