The Chianti region of Tuscany is where one will find the oldest and most prestigious castles, exclusive residences and luxury properties, villas and historic period homes that add immeasurably to the region’s inter-national prestige and allure.
Sitting at the edge of a charming Chianti village, with breathtaking and far-reaching views over hills and vineyards, this fine historic Chianti castle for sale is known as one of the most important properties in the area.
With its elegant mixture of timeless refinement and grace, combined with its luxurious renovations, the immensely atmospheric castle stands out as more than just a majestic property in Tuscany.
Offering an extraordinary quality of life, the Tuscan castle for sale in Chianti represents the ideal solution for those who want to live immersed in history and in the ancient charm of a period property, yet one that retains all of the comfort and convenience of modern living.
A showcase of elegant architectural dignity and abundant space, this is a truly one-of-a-kind property for the sophisticated buyer who craves the best of the best in an indulgent lifestyle.
The castle originally dates back to the 1300s and was changed into its current layout in the 1800s by a renowned architect from the area who was commissioned to bring together two adjoining structures with a courtyard, turrets and loggia. The result was a masterfully exclusive property that retains all of the classical splendour that abounds in grace and character.
Majestic and imposing, the aesthetic appeal of the property begins with its massive, distinguished brick and stone facade, with crenellated towers that radiate quiet confidence and classic elegance. The sense of comfort and refinement is underscored by the property’s richly authentic interior that has managed to retain much of its inherent beauty in a timeless manner. Stunningly distinctive original elements, including exquisite frescoes, painted coffered ceilings, grandiose fireplaces and antique terracotta floors, add wonderful character and refined exclusivity.
Impressively spacious yet charmingly cosy, the series of amazing indoor and outdoor areas are well suited for both comfortable family living and gorgeous entertaining.
An air of understated grandeur pervades the 2,200m² property, yet every space is warm and welcoming. The graceful layout flows from room to room, each perfectly proportioned and tastefully presented.
There is space galore for all the family, with 12 ensuite bedrooms and multiple exquisitely adorned living areas. The staterooms and main bedrooms are accessed to the right of the courtyard. There is a secondary wing for guests and staff to the courtyard’s left. The two wings can be connected, or separated by the locking of one door.
Rooms on the lower ground floor offer potential for the creation of more accommodation, games rooms, workshops, studios and so on. There is also a separate staff apartment with independent entrance and a fully equipped gym with bathroom, air conditioning and changing area.
Beyond the property itself, the substantial landscaped grounds are expansive and beautifully idyllic, with manicured Italian gardens and sculpted topiary.
A lush and beautifully landscaped 2-hectare parkland surrounds the prestige Chianti castle for sale and creates a typical Tuscan postcard with the rolling green hills of the Chianti region.
Perfectly outfitted for outdoor enjoyment and pleasure, there are extensive al fresco areas, including shaded porches, a gorgeous swimming pool, pool house with summer kitchen, and tennis court. The swimming pool is surrounded by olive trees and is positioned in a picture-perfect setting.
The irresistibly seductive loggia at the castle’s entrance may be accessed from a number of rooms – study, kitchen and dining room. From the loggia, residents may enjoy mesmerising views and in summer, escape the heat and relax.
The grounds include an olive grove and small woodland. If there is interest, buyers may obtain adjacent land that contains olive trees and a small vineyard (by separate negotiations).
The property is set on the outskirts of an enchanting hilltop town into which one can easily stroll to the main piazza where a range of services and several restaurants are located. Florence is just 45 minutes away.
The convenience and appeal of the proximity to the historic town centre, yet privacy and peace are paramount once one enters the confines of the estate and shuts the castle gates. Here, one returns easily to the relaxing, peaceful serenity that only nature can offer. The coveted property combines the best of both worlds.
An authentic Tuscan gem, this prestigious Chianti castle for sale is a true example of architectural excellence and Italian luxury real estate at its best, providing a magical oasis of beauty, privacy and tranquillity.
Price: €9.5 million.
