Gorgeous property with a 15th-century farmhouse, outbuildings, and swimming pool for sale in Barberino Val D’Elsa, 30 km south of Florence. Surrounded by vineyards and offering 360-degree views over the Chianti hills, Volterra, and San Gimignano, it lies between San Donato and Castellina in Chianti, just 10 minutes away. Originally built in 1400 as a peasant farm, it became an oil mill in 1780 and was recently transformed into an elegant resort with seven residences and a studio flat. The main building, on several levels, has traditional stone and brick façades around an internal courtyard. Interiors feature Tuscan charm with beamed ceilings and terracotta floors.
The ground floor includes spacious reception areas with lounges—one with the original 18th-century millstone—a restaurant hall, professional kitchen, rustic wine cellar, office, laundry, and utility rooms. Four apartments are on the ground floor (one or two bedrooms), while the first floor has a large residence with eight ensuite bedrooms. A sixth unit, accessed via an external staircase, offers a living area and two bedrooms with private bathrooms. In front, a panoramic terrace with gazebo overlooks the garden and swimming pool among olive trees, with a paved sundeck. A detached barn, restored in 2017 with modern design and underfloor heating, hosts a bright seventh residence with two bedrooms and a bathroom. A small annex has been converted into a studio/suite with a porch. The organic farm spans 53 hectares with 600 olive trees, arable land, woods, and a small vineyard. Solar panels on the carport provide electricity, heating, and hot water, while two artesian wells and a pond ensure water independence for both domestic and irrigation needs. A peaceful, scenic retreat close to shops and amenities, ideal as a private year-round residence or to continue the successful agritourism activity.
