Full Description
Immersed in an exceptional hillside landscape just moments from San Gimignano, this exclusive property stands in a commanding and private position, offering spectacular, open views of the historic center and its iconic medieval towers. The estate features two structurally independent buildings. The main farmhouse is defined by its bright and airy living spaces, including a large breakfast room that opens directly onto the stunning panoramic terrace. This floor also hosts a reception area with its own entrance, a storage room, a guest bathroom, and two cozy apartments, each complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and a living area with a kitchenette and dining space. The sleeping quarters, reached via internal or external staircases, offer an additional 6 bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Across the garden sits a charming, fully renovated barn housing three independent bedrooms with private bathrooms. Outside, the expansive 4,660 sqm garden frames a beautiful 12x6 m chlorine pool, the perfect spot to unwind and take in the surroundings.
STATE OF REPAIR
Steeped in history, the estate traces its origins back to the Middle Ages, when the original structure served as a fortified outpost guarding the Val d’Elsa. Later expanded during the Medici era in the classic style of Leopoldina, the farmhouse has been beautifully preserved thanks to a masterly restoration completed in the late 20th century. Every architectural detail has been preserved with artisan care: the interiors feature soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams and authentic antique Tuscan terracotta floors.
UTILITIES
The property is fully serviced and ready for immediate use. Heating is provided by radiators connected to an LPG system with an independent tank. Water is supplied by the public aqueduct, supported by a shallow spring-fed well and a rainwater collection cistern, which are ideal for keeping the garden lush. All indoor spaces are equipped with air conditioning for summer comfort, and internet connection is available throughout the entire estate.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
Thanks to its versatile architecture and division into multiple independent units, the property represents a highly flexible investment. The estate is ideal for developing a high-end hospitality business aimed at an international clientele. At the same time, the property is well suited to be used as a prestigious representative residence or as an exceptional multi-family home.

The property is located in one of the hilly areas near San Gimignano and is reached via a tree-lined driveway.
