Stone country house with portico and cottage - Vaiano, Prato

In a commanding position, finely renovated classic casale, for sale fully furnished and option of a swimming pool, in Sofignano. A Tuscan retreat where history, landscape and comfort come together with effortless grace. Amid the gentle hills north of Florence, just minutes from the village of Vaiano, the countryside of Sofignano unfolds in a sweep of captivating panoramic views. Here, in an archetypal Tuscan setting framed by a lush garden dotted with century-old trees, stands an exquisite 400-square-metre (4305 sq ft) stone residence, meticulously restored to preserve its original character while embracing modern comfort. The property, enriched by five bedrooms and a former barn cottage of 80 square meters (861 sq ft), embodies the spirit of an elegant home. A graceful arched entrance leads to a light-filled sitting room, and to a refined dining area opening onto a portico that wraps around two sides of the building. Handmade terracotta floors, brick vaults and exposed wooden beams evoke the heritage of Tuscan craftsmanship, while the spacious kitchen, a spacious utility area with laundry and a cozy guest bathroom ensure practical ease for daily living. The portico becomes an extension of the home’s convivial spaces, ideal for shaded summer dining, complemented by an outdoor bread oven built in stone and brick. The first floor is entirely laid in warm, elegant parquet and dedicated to a master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi and double vanity, an additional bedrooms with en-suite bathroom filled with natural light, and two further bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. A generous wardrobe room has a wrought-iron staircase leading to the attic floor where a fifth bedroom, a bathroom and storage areas are located. Set within the gardens, the separate stone cottage offers a delightful haven for guests and gatherings. Its atmospheric taverna, centred around a monumental fireplace and soaring trussed wooden ceiling, invites memorable evenings, while the adjoining kitchen with central island opens directly outdoors. A cellar below enhances its charm and practicality. The mature trees cast cooling shade in the summer months, a stone well supports the irrigation system, and an open area of the garden offers the perfect site for a swimming pool. This is a country home designed to be lived in year-round or for vacation, fully furnished and ready to move in, and where rural peace meets proximity to the region’s main attractions: the Barberino Outlet and Prato’s malls within twenty minutes, Florence’s historic heart just 35 kilometres away, and all essential services in Vaiano only 4 kilometres from the property.
