Historic 19-hectare estate set on a hillock surrounded by greenery overlooking the agricultural property and the village below, 25 km from Florence and only a few minutes from the centre of the village of Rignano.The splendid historic farmhouse dating back to 1200 was the first dwelling in Rignano and gave its name to the village. The position is enviable, with a 360-degree panoramic view, just a few steps from the village but with no other dwellings nearby, thanks also to the 19 hectares of land surrounding the real estate.The property includes the main house, a cellar and several outbuildings.
With its 500 square metres of living space, restored and refurbished, the building complex presents itself as a fine example of a medieval 'lord's house'.
The main element is the base of the ancient medieval tower overlooking the courtyard, with a porch on the ground floor and a loggia on the upper floor.The U-shaped structure, open to the south, looks directly onto the Arno Valley.All the rooms are extremely comfortable and practical and the finishes and fixtures are particularly well-kept.The house consists of four beautiful flats, two on each floor, (two flats are for residential use and two for rural use) that can be managed either independently or as a single dwelling.
The main building was completely renovated a few years ago and only needs some finishing touches.The cellar, located in the basement of the medieval tower, is one of the most representative rooms of the entire complex. It has been restored preserving all its original characteristics and is fully equipped for the production of Chianti DOCG wine from grapes from its own vineyards.The 280 square metre barn, on the other hand, is in need of renovation. Located on the most panoramic side, it lends itself to a beautiful redevelopment, even for a second family unit, as it remains both close to the farmhouse and completely independent.The property is surrounded by 19 hectares of land with a natural spring, a vineyard for Chianti DOCG production, 450 olive trees, 6 hectares of centuries-old woodland, renowned for its mushrooms and truffles, with oaks, cypresses and chestnut trees, and fields with numerous fruit trees.
