Hamlet with Pools and Annexes, Castellina in Chianti, Siena – Tuscany
In the heart of Chianti Classico, this 18th-century estate, renovated in 2008, is centered around the main villa of 638 sq m/6867 sq ft arranged over two levels. On the ground floor, the entrance leads to the scenic panoramic terrace of 50 sq m/538 sq ft, introducing living rooms with stone fireplaces, a period kitchen with vaulted ceilings, a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry room, and a refined lounge area. A stone staircase with an iron balustrade leads to the first floor, which consists of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge, and a relaxation room featuring a piano. The architecture highlights the materials of local tradition: exposed stone walls, ceilings with imposing wooden beams, terracotta tiles, and historical red brick vaults. The floors alternate between fine antique terracotta, two-tone hexagonal tiles, and checkerboard patterns. The estate boasts a hamlet of annexes with six country houses, five huts, a stable, and a consecrated chapel with an altar. The 14.3 hectares/35.33 acres of land include 0.97 hectares/2.40 acres of vineyards, 2.89 hectares/7.14 acres of olive groves, woodland, arable land, and a garden, with two swimming pools: one 6x12 m/20x39 ft with stone edging and one 5x5 m/16x16 ft in terracotta adjacent to a country house. An intimate paved courtyard with a brick arched loggia completes this masterpiece. This prestigious hamlet represents a rare investment opportunity and a wise purchase for those wishing to embrace authentic Tuscan rural living, blending the timeless charm of the Chianti countryside with privacy and comfort.
