Full Description
Located in the Chianti Classico area, this property for sale is made up of an agricultural business and a holiday farm totalling around 3,400 m², complete with swimming pool and some 66 hectares of land.
The centre of the agricultural estate comprises a series of buildings that form the main nucleus of the farm, with a total surface area of about 3,000 m².
The buildings are in good condition and currently have an agricultural destination.
Over the years, the main farmhouse has been almost completely renovated and recently ventilated roof was constructed. The complex is entirely heated with the help of two biomass boilers (wood chips, mainly produced on the farm).
The stone main building has four floors with a surface of approximately 2,000 m².
In the basement there are several storerooms, as well as an old "Orciaia", where the jars of freshly-pressed oil used to be stored.
The ground floor comprises several rooms used for the agricultural activities of the farm (oil storage, bottling,…) as well as three well-preserved flats, two of which on two floors.
There are two additional flats on the first floor and some other rooms in need of renovation.
The current owner lives on the second floor, which is partly an attic.
Opposite the main building there is a two-storey agricultural annex (420 m²) consisting of various rooms, including a spacious room with a giant window offering panoramic views of the Chianti Classico vineyards.
An outbuilding of about 230 m² is located nearby, where on the ground floor there are offices, a refectory with toilets, a stockroom, an old pizza oven and a woodshed. The basement houses the woodchip heating plant with a biomass storage room.
There is a beautiful terrace with breathtaking views in front of the offices, which forms the roof of the basement cellar 235 m², which still contains the cement tanks used until a few years ago for the fermentation of the DOCG Chianti Classico wines produced on the estate, with an adjacent bottling room.
In the same building there is a second biomass power station that feeds part of the buildings. The buildings are in good condition and could easily be used for wine production again.
A charming annex of about 30 m² adjoins the terrace and is used as wine-tasting room.
A 76 m² warehouse used to store small farm machinery.
