Prime location, captivating views of Chianti and the towers of San Gimignano, restored country house with solar energy for sale south of Florence. In an enchanting medieval village along the ancient Via Francigena, stands a timeless stone residence, nestled on a sun-drenched hilltop overlooking the Val d’Elsa region offering sweeping, luminous vistas, from every corner, the landscape unfolds like a masterpiece: the rolling Chianti hills gently curve towards the unmistakable silhouette of San Gimignano, its medieval towers rising majestically on the horizon. Dating back to the 1600s and meticulously restored, this estate comprises two stone buildings: the main former farmhouse, spanning 340 square meters, and a typical cottage, a former barn, of 215 square meters, both elegantly renovated to offer the perfect blend of rustic allure and contemporary comfort. Inside the main villa, the ground floor opens to a grand living room, where four brick arches define the space, creating a seamless flow between the sitting area with fireplace and the dining room, starring a 12-seat dining table. Each room is adorned with authentic details, including terracotta floors, chestnut beam ceilings, and windows framing stunning views and direct access to the garden. A spacious kitchen, a TV room, a total of six double bedrooms each with its own private bathroom, all exquisitely designed, featuring elegant bathtubs and walk-in showers.

Wooden windows with mosquito screens ensure comfort and insulation, while every room is equipped with air conditioning and a state-of-the-art alarm and video surveillance system. Energy-efficient systems include photovoltaic panels, pellet heating, and a fireplace that adds a touch of authentic warmth. The barn retains the charm of its stone facades and the traditional terracotta brickwork in ‘salto di gatto’ style, offering a living and three bedrooms all en suite. The meticulously maintained garden features belvedere areas, ornamental borders, ten olive trees, and a romantic pergola enveloped in the scent of wisteria. The panoramic pool, suspended between sky and earth, provides a privileged view of the postcard-perfect landscape. This poetic retreat in the heart of Tuscany, where nature meets harmony, offers a story of balance, history, and authenticity. Here, the tranquillity of the countryside is perfectly complemented by the convenience of nearby amenities: the village of Vico d’Elsa is just a short walk away, Poggibonsi with its shopping centres is 5 km, and San Gimignano is 13 km.
