A 17th-century country house with views, offering potential for personalisation and privacy, close to local services, for sale in San Gimignano. In the heart of the Sienese countryside, a short distance from the towers of San Gimignano, stands a property that bears witness to a past dating back to the 1600s. This estate, which is currently in need of restoration, offers a blank canvas for those wishing to create a retreat in Tuscany. The architectural complex comprises a main residential building of approximately 200 sq m/2152.78 sq ft, spread over two levels, and a charming detached former barn of a further 200 sq m/2152.78 sq ft, also spread over two levels, giving a total potential floor area of around 400 sq m/4305.56 square ft. The rural Tuscan aesthetic is evident in the material details of extraordinary architectural merit. The annex stands out in particular for its iconic terracotta ‘ventole’ – refined geometric brickwork patterns that originally facilitated ventilation and now offer an aesthetic detail of rare beauty for a contemporary design. The internal layout, outlined in the original floor plans but fully customisable in the future design, allows for the creation of spacious reception rooms and master suites with panoramic views over the surrounding vineyards and olive groves. Nestled in tranquillity, the property enjoys a privileged location that guarantees total privacy without compromising on convenience, with key amenities just 4 km/2.49 miles away. A once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity to create a prestigious residence in one of the world’s most famous and sought-after locations.
