Charming 12.6-hectare historic estate with beautifully restored country villa and guesthouse, thriving olive grove, for sale in the Sienese countryside. A truly captivating property, where history, craftsmanship, and landscape exist in perfect harmony. Just 40 minutes east of Siena and a short 4 km from the charming town of Sinalunga, this elegant country estate captures the timeless allure of authentic Tuscany. Surrounded by unspoiled greenery, the property is reached via a private, tree-lined avenue flanked by centuries-old oaks and a thriving olive grove, offering a rare sense of tranquillity and seclusion. At the heart of the estate lies the main residence, a striking 17th-century building arranged over four levels for 432 square meters, paired with a 179 square meters guesthouse set over two floors.
Both buildings are constructed from traditional terracotta bricks sourced from historic local kilns and were meticulously restored in 2004, preserving the architectural heritage while enhancing comfort and livability. Inside, the interiors speak of craftsmanship and refined taste: vaulted terracotta ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and original handmade floors blend seamlessly with elegant parquet and marble finishes where restoration was needed. The ground floor of the main house opens into a welcoming foyer, leading to a double reception room, a billiard room, a kitchen with dining area and fireplace, a walk-in pantry, a rustic taverna with a wood-burning oven, a guest bathroom, and a laundry room. Below, the lower-ground level hosts a former wine cellar with two large rooms steeped in historical charm. The first floor features a second sitting room with fireplace, a master bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe, a second double bedroom with ensuite, two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor, formerly an attic, has been tastefully converted into a bright sitting room, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The guesthouse provides two self-contained apartments, each with a living area and a double bedroom, enriched by authentic architectural features such as loggias and a generous portico, perfect for hosting family, guests, or potential rental income. The property extends across 12.6 hectares (31 acres) of land that wraps the estate in a natural embrace. The grounds include a mature garden with irrigation and a private well, a productive olive grove with around 350 trees, areas of mixed and tall woodland, arable land, and a rare mulberry grove. There is also the possibility to build a swimming pool, subject to planning approval. Two annexes, currently used as storage space and garage, offer further potential for conversion. Whether as a permanent home, an elegant holiday retreat, or a refined hospitality venture, this estate enjoys a privileged location on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, within easy reach of historic hilltowns, thermal spas, world-class wineries, and major transport routes, while maintaining a rare sense of peace and privacy.
