FARMHOUSE WITH DEPENDANCE - Gaiole in Chianti (Si)

In the enchanting Chianti Classico countryside, between Florence and Siena, we offer the sale of an elegant property located a few minutes from one of the main Chianti villages, consisting of the main farmhouse and the barn, surrounded by 24000 sqm of private land where there is a swimming pool (14x7mt).

The building dates back to the 11th century when it was built as a watchtower and connection with the nearby castles of Brolio, Cacchiano, Vertine, and Meleto.
It was purchased by the Ricasoli family and became part of their possessions; it was then transformed into a private farmhouse and around 2000 perfectly restored as a country house, preserving its original beauty thanks to the use of materials as can be seen in the beautiful brick vaults on the ground floor and in the seventeenth-century terracotta floor.

The main building has a surface area of 440 m2 and is on two levels, on the ground floor there is a large kitchen, the dining room, the living room with fireplace, a charming double bedroom with vaults, the cellar, and a bathroom.
On the upper floor, there is a characteristic living room with a fireplace where there is a billiard table, and four double bedrooms: 3 of the bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom and shower, one with an adjacent bathroom and bathtub.

Heating system with pellet stove for heating and domestic hot water.

The annex has a surface area of approximately 160 m2 and is composed of a large living room, a large and bright kitchen, a double bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a mezzanine of approximately 30 m2 with bedroom.

The renovation excellently combines all the comforts of a modern villa with the original characteristics of a country residence.

The land is approximately 24.000 sqm with a recently renovated irrigation system powered by automatic pumps.
A small wooden bridge allows access to the swimming pool whose garden has been equipped to allow you to stay in maximum relaxation under a large pergola equipped with a table, barbecue, fridge and sauna.
The lighting was designed in order to create a pleasant and evocative atmosphere that characterizes the property.
