Pelago, Tuscany 50060

Estate complex in the Chianti Rufina area and a short distance from Florence, featuring a main manor house, a building divided into apartments, and extensive land with a vineyard and an olive grove. Description The property consists of the main farmhouse, traces of which go back to the medieval period, but which was redesigned to its current form in the 19th century. In the oldest part there is the main house that develops on the entire first floor with access via a still-working stone staircase that, through a covered loggia, leads into the main house where large rooms with wooden beams on the ceilings and the large hearth testify to its past, and in the adjacent part a large two-level apartment. On the ground floor below the main house are the ancient cellars with the oil mill, the aging area for wines, and other various productive spaces. At some distance we find the old barn that has been divided into three independent apartments; there is also a room on the ground floor with a private bathroom. Outdoor spaces The estate covers about 16 hectares of land, of which 4.5 ha are olive groves and 3.5 ha are vineyards (2.3 ha in Chianti and 1.17 ha in IGT), all highly productive. The area closest to the buildings is kept as a garden and common areas enriched with flowering shrubs and tall trees that provide shade and freshness, and in a more secluded and panoramic part of the land there is an above-ground pool, a BBQ area, a bocce court, and a children's play area. Strategically located within a wildlife re-population area, where it is not rare to encounter roe deer, hares, and pheasants while traveling the roughly 500 m dirt road that leads to the buildings. State and finishes The main house was renovated in the early 1990s; in the same years the apartments inside the old barn were created in the typical Tuscan style with stone, wood, and terracotta. Some adjustments to the systems would be necessary, especially to bring the buildings in line with current regulations. Potential uses A property that can continue its natural vocation as a farm with activities such as agritourism and wine and oil production, or be destined as a year-round family home thanks to its proximity to services and to Florence. Location A short distance from Florence and all the main services of the center of Pelago, it is immersed in greenery with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside and the protection of the Vallombrosa hills behind it.
