Set amongst lush greenery, this 17th-century barn offers complete privacy and unique potential for a high-end restoration, for sale in San Gimignano. In the heart of the Sienese countryside, a short distance from the towers of San Gimignano, lies a rare opportunity for architectural restoration dating back to the 17th century. This property, a former barn measuring 204 sq m/2195.8 sq ft, stands today as a treasure trove of history, partially concealed by lush vegetation, ready to be transformed into a luxury residence. The original rural architecture is evident in the imposing exposed stone walls and the roofs still clad in traditional materials, which preserve the charm of the most authentic Tuscan tradition. The layout of the building, spread over a single level with a distinctive ‘L’-shaped plan, lends itself to a variety of design interpretations thanks to the generous interior spaces. The current structure suggests a harmonious division of spaces, ideal for creating a spacious living area. Externally, the property is set within 2 hectares/4.94 acres of land, comprising an 0.85 hectares/2.10 acres olive grove and 0.75 hectares/1.85 acres of woodland. Situated just 6 km/3.73 miles from the main services and easily accessible via a short stretch of gravel road, the barn guarantees complete privacy whilst remaining connected to local services. The forthcoming restoration will allow for the integration of the latest technologies, whilst enhancing the original materials to create an exclusive retreat where unspoilt nature meets the rustic elegance of the province of Siena.
