Villa Magnifica
Located in the picturesque heart of the Chianti region, nestled between Gaiole in Chianti and Siena, is a splendid stone farmhouse awaiting its fortunate new owner. This charming property, dating back to 1890, has retained the timeless charm of traditional Chianti country estates. Rich in history and character, the farmhouse underwent a complete restoration in 2012 under the careful guidance of its current owners. Their meticulous attention to detail and refined taste in material selection have elevated the property to new heights, showcasing handcrafted stone floors, ancient barrel vaults, original terracotta tiles, and sturdy stone walls.
The agriturismo enjoys a privileged location near renowned landmarks such as the historic castles of Brolio, Meleto, Tornano, and Vertine. Accessible via scenic routes, these cultural treasures dotting the landscape offer a captivating blend of natural splendor and historical significance, inviting exploration and discovery.
Comprising an independent building on two levels (ground floor and first floor) and agricultural outbuildings totaling 400 square meters, the property is further complemented by a meticulously landscaped garden and a refreshing swimming pool. An electric gate provides access to the extensive grounds spanning 11,000 square meters, adorned with lush woods and an olive grove featuring approximately 70 olive trees.
Entering the main building reveals a grand architectural design, where the ground floor features a spacious hallway adorned with characteristic stone floors and vaulted ceilings. A generously sized kitchen, a double living room with a cozy fireplace, a versatile bedroom currently used as a study, a well-appointed bathroom, and a utility room housing technical equipment complete this level. Ascending the internal staircase leads to the first floor, where four elegant double bedrooms await, each accompanied by its own private bathroom. The expansive master bedroom boasts a luxurious walk-in closet, adding a touch of indulgence to daily life.
An additional annex, approximately 19 square meters in size, is equipped with solar panels installed on the roof for efficient hot water production. Adjacent to the pool is a second annex, approximately 6 square meters in size, currently serving as a storage space for pool equipment.
The swimming pool, measuring 10×5 meters with a variable depth from 1.20 to 1.60 meters, offers a refreshing oasis for relaxation and leisure.
Enhancing the property’s self-sufficiency and comfort, a private artesian well with a 10,000-liter storage tank ensures ample water supply, while a water softener maintains water quality. Additionally, the house is pre-fitted for air conditioning, providing climate control for optimal comfort. The heating system utilizes a combination of a wood and pellet boiler, supplemented by integration with LPG and four solar panels dedicated to hot water production. A centralized vacuum system, conveniently located throughout the building, simplifies maintenance tasks, with the motor housed in the laundry room for easy access.
