Description

Le Terme Mansion with farm and winery, Siena - Tuscany
Seventeenth-century villa with loggias, frescoed halls, a park, two pools, farmhouses, and a winery with and cellar for sale in Rapolano Terme, Siena. In an exclusive setting on the border between Chianti Classico, Rapolano Thermal springs and the Crete Senesi, an avenue of cypress trees leads to this impressive 17th-century country mansion with farm, surrounded by 10.5 hectares of organically farmed land with olive groves and vineyards. Once owned by a noble Tuscan family, Le Terme Mansion enchants with its main façade starring double arched porticoes, a preview of the interiors with stunning original details rich in history and aristocratic charm. Magnificent halls with double-height ceilings, one on the first floor is very impressive, over 8 meters, arcaded porticos offer beautiful views, and nine bedrooms with private bathrooms. Some of the farm buildings have been renovated into guest quarters and a banqueting area with dining rooms and a professional kitchen. A two-story farmhouse houses a four-bedroom villa, a second farmhouse four self-contained apartments, and a former Orangerie has been converted into a one-bedroom cottage, for a combined total of 23 bedrooms. The recent renovation has preserved the original decorations, wooden ceilings, terracotta and travertine floors, and almost all bedrooms have air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. The old basements of the villa preserve the vaulted wine cellars and are connected by a tunnel to one of the farm buildings dedicated to the winery facility with winemaking rooms, aging and wine storage. Today the farm does not produce wine directly but sells its organic grapes to third parties. The use of its own in-house winery allows the production of some 26,000 to 30,000 bottles of wine per year. The olive grove, with typical Tuscan varieties, produces approx. 2,500 kg of fragrant evo oil. Slightly detached from the main buildings is an additional farmhouse to be renovated and converted into living space. Set 25 kilometers east of Siena and just minutes from Rapolano Terme hot springs and its famous travertine quarries, excellent connections to highways and major sites, natural parks and Tuscany's white country roads.
