State and finishes

The estate is in excellent conditions. The hamlet has been carefully renovated and restored and boasts all the typical traits of Tuscan rural buildings: Wooden beams, terracotta floors, stone walls, stone fireplaces, arches and wooden fixtures. Still in the hamlet A, a new building is under construction and will host a restaurant and a new conference hall.

Exteriors

The estate is laid over approximately 80 hectares.
The most interesting section of the estate is without a doubt the vineyard (12.5 ha), 50% of which is registered as Chianti. The estate doesn’t produce wine on its own but relies on an external cellar for processing grapes.
The olive grove (6.5 ha) hosts approximately 3,000 trees with Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino and Pendolino varieties and grants the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil.
These are followed by woodland (42 hectares with coppice and high wood) and arable land (6 ha). Finally, we find gardens and unused land (13 ha). A 4,500 sqm private lake offers enough water for irrigation.
The estate is fitted with a tennis court, a five-a-team soccer field and an 18 x 9 m swimming pool.

The existing restaurant/wine-bar (249 sqm – 2,679 sqft) could at this point be converted into a wellness centre with gym and sauna/emotional shower.
