Borgo San Gimignano

Description

In the heart of Tuscany’s most authentic landscape, among the rolling hills of the Chianti region and within easy reach of Siena, this prestigious estate of remarkable charm is set along the historic route of the Via Francigena. Surrounded by a captivating natural setting, the property extends across approximately 60 hectares of land and includes a total of about 1,430 square metres of built surface, ensuring complete privacy and a timeless atmosphere.

The estate is composed of a picturesque stone hamlet arranged into guest rooms and independent apartments. The entire complex has undergone a careful restoration that preserved its original architectural authenticity, enhancing traditional Tuscan materials and finishes such as terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams and solid wood furnishings, while integrating modern solutions with particular attention to environmental sustainability.

The borgo is structured around four traditional stone farmhouses that host residential units, each featuring private outdoor areas equipped with gazebos, tables and seating. The shared amenities include a swimming pool, a whirlpool tub and a spacious sunbathing area, as well as a restaurant with a traditional wood-fired oven and a large panoramic veranda. The estate is further complemented by additional leisure facilities including a swimming pool, a padel court and a bocce court.

The property is equipped with a methane gas station, a photovoltaic system and solar panels used to heat water for both the apartments and the swimming pool. Additional resources include a private well and the possibility of creating an artificial lake for irrigation purposes.

The surrounding parkland includes organic olive groves currently in production, yielding high-quality extra virgin olive oil through cold pressing, as well as vineyards that are presently under management. Of particular historical significance are the restored wine cellars located within ancient Etruscan tombs, a rare and evocative testimony to the deep cultural heritage of the region.

Thanks to its size, layout and historical value, the estate lends itself to multiple project interpretations: from its current configuration as a hospitality complex supported by an agritourism license and offering approximately thirty guest beds, to a potential future redevelopment as an exclusive private residence complemented by a boutique hospitality activity.

A truly unique property that harmoniously combines historical charm, agricultural vocation and complete privacy, set within the celebrated landscapes of the Chianti countryside.
