205 Hectare 18th Century Winery Estate near Monteriggioni, Tuscany

ITALY, TUSCANY, SIENA, MONTERIGGIONI

DRONE:

Historic 18th century restored villa enveloped in 205 hectares (506 acres) of absolute privacy, offering olive groves, an exclusive winery and pool potential.

In the Chianti hills, at 350 meters above sea level, halfway between the magnificent city of Siena and the medieval castle of Monteriggioni, just 40 minutes south of Florence. The villa dominates the enchanting scenery over its 205 hectares/506 acres of private land which include its first vineyards which were planted back in the 1970s.

Built on the foundations of a medieval fortress, this classic 18th century villa extends over three floors overlooking the park. Its stone decorations enhance its elegant character, typical of the country residences of Sienese aristocratic families.

The interior could either be a wonderful private residence or a boutique hotel with up to 8-10 bedrooms, all boasting natural light and views over the park and the surrounding area with its villages, woods and farmhouses.

The entrance foyer and main staircase are suitable for the installation of a modern lift/elevator.

The main hall on the first floor features a full-height arched window, a fireplace and access to a balcony and bridged walkway leading to a wonderful terrace. Here a brick balustrade frames the magnificent open landscape.

Recent renovations included the complete re-roofing, plastering of the exterior, a pellet boiler heating system, parquet flooring and full decoration of two elegant bathrooms on the first floor.

The large terrace is the rooftop of the second building which is dedicated to the winery facility, with its stunning brick vaulted ceilings, and producing some 30,000 bottles of Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG and Toscana IGT a year, sold both in the domestic and foreign markets.

The vineyards, in conversion to organic with certification expected in 2026, cover approximately 14 hectares/34.5 acres and are planted mainly with Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

From the cantina ground floor, a stone-walled tunnel, built in the first half of the 1900s, provides a very impressive connection to a cave and to an internal staircase leading directly to the main foyer of the house.

It is possible to transform the cellar building into living quarters and create a new separate building entirely dedicated to the farm and winery facilities.

Part of the arable land can also be converted to vineyards to increase production.

With its strategic location on the outskirts of the city of Siena, elegant historical features with over three hundred years of history and a long passion for Tuscan red wines, this property offers a great opportunity to become an exclusive boutique wine resort or a fine and luxurious private residence to enjoy with family and friends.
