Enchanting estate in the Heart of Chianti
In the heart of Tuscany, where the hills paint a postcard-perfect landscape, BARNES International Realty is pleased to present an estate, largely restored, that extends over 15 hectares. A picture-perfect setting where vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands blend harmoniously, offering a panoramic view of rare beauty. The main villa, an authentic masterpiece of Tuscan architecture, has welcomed distinguished guests such as Galileo Galilei, who found here an ideal retreat for his studies. The residence preserves its original terracotta floors, wooden beams, and vaulted ceilings, remnants of a past that still resonates within these walls. The main house comprises seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, spacious living rooms, and dining areas both indoors and outdoors, along with a 90 sqm pool with a unique shape. In addition to the main villa, the property includes six farmhouses, three of which have been fully restored and are in impeccable condition, while the other three offer an opportunity for customization. In total, the estate can accommodate up to 26 bedrooms, two pools, and numerous spaces ready to be adapted to specific needs. A generous volume, perfect for hosting guests, family members, or for creating private quarters for staff. Completing the property is an old barn, now transformed into a bright event space, a private 18th-century chapel, meticulously restored, and a centuries-old park with terraced gardens, framing a panoramic pool - an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy moments of peace amidst the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. This estate is not just a place to live but a retreat where privacy, history, and authenticity intertwine in perfect harmony. Whether as a private residence or a refined venue for high-profile events, the property offers an unparalleled experience. And with its modern and functional facilities, it also represents an investment opportunity in the heart of Tuscany, a region celebrated worldwide for its cultural and scenic heritage. A Journey Through History The roots of this residence date back to the 12th century, a time when the land was owned by the Bishopric of Arezzo. Over the centuries, the property became a strategic point of reference, closely linked to the Ricasoli family and the Castello di Brolio. During the fierce conflicts between Florence and Siena, the estate played a pivotal role as a defensive bastion. Between the 15th and 16th centuries, La Torricella evolved into an aristocratic residence, frequented by prominent figures such as Galileo Galilei, who, deeply connected to Giambattista Ricasoli, found in these rooms a perfect setting for his studies and reflections.
