Medieval tower ruin with barn, to restore, open views - Siena, Tuscany
Hill-top, infinity views, to be restored and converted into a 600 sq m country villa with pool, solar energy, for sale 25 minutes south of Siena. A compelling opportunity for visionaries and dreamers to create a landmark Tuscan home in an unforgettable setting. The panoramic setting is exceptional. From the property, the eye ranges freely across the Chianti countryside, towards Monte Amiata, and over the sculptural landscapes of the Crete Senesi, with the historic towns of Asciano and Rapolano clearly visible on the horizon. The views are open, expansive and truly timeless. While currently in a state of complete disrepair, the structures offer a blank canvas for an ambitious and highly tailored restoration project. Subject to planning, the property lends itself naturally to conversion into a prestigious country residence, with potential to incorporate a swimming pool, spa and wellness areas, home automation, solar energy systems, underfloor heating, air conditioning, and the latest green energy technologies, blending historic character with contemporary comfort and sustainability. The original structure dates back to the 12th century and is believed to have served as a watchtower associated with a nearby castle. The existing buildings retain the authentic characteristics of rural medieval architecture, with volumes historically dedicated to living quarters, storage spaces and stables. The property comprises a two-storey main building constructed in local terracotta bricks, a series of irregular ancillary structures, and a separate former barn, offering a total surface area of approximately 600 square meters (6,458 sq ft) to be entirely reimagined and redesigned. Set within a private plot of 10,000 square meters (2.4 acres), the land includes a traditional water collection tank and a 100-metre driveway. Main city water and electricity connections are conveniently located just a few metres from the buildings, significantly easing the redevelopment process. The elevated position and surrounding natural context guarantee a high level of privacy, making this an ideal retreat for buyers seeking tranquillity, isolation, and a deep connection with nature, without sacrificing accessibility to Siena and Tuscany’s cultural centres.
