Farmhouse setteled in unspoilt nature

Charming historic property with pool for those wanting total privacy in the heart of Chianti

This high-lying mill was originally part of and served La Pieve di Santa Maria Novella and dates to the 13th century. Situated just below the hamlet of Volpaia in the tranquil unspoilt hills between Radda in Chianti and Panzano it enjoys marvellous views south towards Radda and the surrounding countryside.

With a short private drive off the tarmac road and an electric entrance gate, the property enjoys total privacy whilst being just ca. 4 km from Radda in Chianti, a charming village with only 1550 inhabitants but with all shops, restaurants and amenities, 25 km from Siena and 40 km from Florence.

In an unspoilt and tranquil location with beautiful villages and country walks, Volpaia has several good restaurants and the area is renowned for its wine production.

The property consists of 2 buildings, is totally fenced and is accessed by a private drive.

This delightful property has been restored using traditional materials to provide a well-appointed home without detracting from the beauty of the original structure.

The main house consists of a sitting room with an original corner fireplace, an open plan dining and kitchen area with fully-equipped handmade "Chalon" kitchen on the ground floor. A door leads to a huge, outdoor covered terrace which was originally the water reservoir for the mill and is now used for al fresco dining with seating area for year-round use.
An open staircase leads to the 1st floor with two bedrooms with bathrooms en suite and a door leading to the gardens. There is also a small cantina under this house.

The second building comprises 2 bedrooms en suite and has 2 separate entrances.

There are approximately 1.8 Ha of land including lawns, gardens, olive terraces and woodland and a swimming pool measuring 23 metres in what was the reservoir for the second mill. There are many sitting areas and terraces around both houses and the pool.
