Dating back to the 1800s, the estate has been run as a successful rental property as well as a much-loved family home for over four decades. The main living accommodation spanning approximately 900 sq m is a postcard to classic Tuscan architecture and simple interior design with antique furniture, fixtures and fittings creating a wonderful sense of past.

The bones here are sturdy and deliciously 'rusticana' - all whitewashed walls and cool terracotta floors - and there is plenty of scope to strip back further or fully modernise to create an exceptional 21st century family home.

Internally, there is plenty of breathing room with several reception rooms, study, a large sitting room, a further study/library, formal dining room, a wonderful country kitchen with a service staircase to the first floor and a guest powder room.

On the first floor there are 8 bathrooms and 8 bedrooms, all with air conditioning, making this property an excellent choice for large, extended families and those with a bulging contacts book.

There is a paved courtyard between the villa and the secondary house which is on two floors and could provide another 5 or 6 bedrooms with bathrooms and become two independent apartments or a large home. This ancillary property could be let for holidays or used as an artist's/yoga/wellness retreat should new owners wish to diversify.

The pool sits high above the buildings enjoying south facing views towards Chianti and hugged by plenty of glorious Tuscan countryside, much of it your private land.

A tiny, delightful consecrated chapel is found in the garden below the villa terrace.

The property sits on the edge of Impruneta, a small Tuscan town famous for its terracotta and ceramics with tidy streets, tiny cafes and honey-colored stone buildings.

Florence is a short drive away ( 25km) and Greve in Chianti - one of the most charming medieval towns in the wonderful Chianti region, is a short ( 14km ) journey from the estate. There are two airports to fly served at Florence and Pisa.
