VILLA LIBECCIO.
Just 30 minutes from Florence, surrounded by the vineyards of Chianti, lies this prestigious property with a total surface area of approximately 1,131 square meters. Dating back to the 15th century, it has been completely renovated and consists of a main residence, two independent apartments, and an annex. The villa is spread over four levels, arranged as follows: The ground floor and first floor house the main residence (approximately 512 sqm), featuring two entrances: - the first opens onto a foyer with a staircase and a guest bathroom, providing access to a small caretaker's apartment consisting of a living area, bedroom, and bathroom - the second leads to the elegant living area, characterized by large windows and composed of a TV room, tea room, and dining room, which opens onto a magnificent covered loggia overlooking the countryside—ideal for outdoor dining during the warmer months. Continuing on, there is a kitchen with a splendid fireplace and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The first floor, accessible via an internal staircase, external staircase, and elevator, features an entryway, a study, a beautiful reception hall with a fireplace, and access to a 45 sqm terrace offering unparalleled views of the surrounding countryside. Beyond the hall lies the sleeping area, which includes a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a mezzanine with a walk-in wardrobe, as well as a second double bedroom, also with an en-suite bathroom. Additionally, this level has another living room, which could be converted into another master bedroom with a private bathroom. The second floor, reachable via a shared staircase or elevator, houses two similar guest apartments: - Apartment 1: Approximately 158 sqm, featuring a living room with a dining area, a kitchen with direct access to a shared panoramic loggia, one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with a private bathroom on the mezzanine. - Apartment 2: Approximately 154 sqm, featuring a living room with a fireplace and kitchenette, a dining room with access to the loggia, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a third bedroom with a bathroom on the mezzanine. The basement includes two rooms used as a wine cellar, a laundry area, a service bathroom, and a spacious garage of approximately 128 sqm. The sale also comprises an annex of about 106 sqm, located a short distance from the villa. This building houses a gym with changing rooms, a tasting room, a guest bathroom, storage rooms, and a shelter for agricultural equipment. Externally, the property extends over more than 4 hectares, gently sloping downwards from the villa. It features a beautiful Italian garden of approximately 4,000 sqm, adorned with a splendid fountain in the side courtyard. Within the green space lies a 14 x 7 m swimming pool with a solarium area, surrounded by palm trees and local plants. The 2.2-hectare olive grove includes about 900 trees, producing up to 1,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil. The vineyard spans approximately 1.5 hectares and falls within the Chianti Classico area, producing up to 8,000 bottles of wine annually. The property was built in the 15th century around a 12th-century watchtower. It belonged to prominent families of the Tuscan aristocracy and underwent significant transformations in the early 20th century, when the ancient tower was demolished, and the villa was restored to its original Renaissance style. In 2010, the property underwent a meticulous renovation. The interiors are distinguished by high-quality finishes and the use of premium materials, including terracotta and marble floors, exposed wooden beams, and elegant pietra serena stone details, giving the property timeless elegance and authentic charm. All utilities are present, with heating provided by natural gas and water supplied by the municipal network and a well for irrigation. The villa is equipped with modern comforts such as air conditioning, an alarm system, an electric gate, and an elevator. The two independent apartments on the second floor are perfect for hosting guests but can also be combined into a single residence. Regarding the agricultural activity, it is currently managed by third parties, but the annex could be converted into a winery with facilities for grape processing and bottling. The property is in a truly panoramic position, offering splendid views of the Chianti vineyards and the surrounding countryside.
