$5,000,000 Medieval Castle Transformed into a Renaissance Villa in Tuscany, Italy

An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a Tuscan castle with an illustrious Renaissance history, brimming with potential for boutique tourism endeavors.

Dating back to the 1100s, this medieval fortress was constructed atop the remnants of an ancient Roman fort, nestled within a 7.41-acre expanse in the heart of the Chianti countryside, a mere stone’s throw from Florence.

Between 1450 and 1500, this Tuscan stronghold underwent a profound transform into a grandiose residence under the stewardship of its proprietors, the Buondelmonti family, an esteemed Florentine lineage with ownership stakes in several castles throughout the region. This particular estate remained in their possession until 1845.

With its exceptional architectural legacy meticulously preserved over centuries, the Tuscan fortress is adorned with exquisite antique furnishings, captivating stonework, and a network of sprawling, vaulted stone cellars connected through a labyrinth of interconnected chambers and spacious corridors, offering ample scope for potential conversions.

The 12-bedroom, 12-bathroom Tuscan castle has been masterfully refurbished by its current owners, complete with a modern elevator and an enchanting swimming pool that overlooks the formidable fortifications. This pool area is graced with Roman statues in the nearby loggia, creating a serene ambiance.

The property serves as a source of income through luxury villa rentals in Tuscany and boasts an additional dwelling located opposite the main residence, which houses two distinct two-bedroom apartments.

An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a Tuscan castle with an illustrious Renaissance history, brimming with potential for boutique tourism endeavors.
