For sale cottage in Radda in Chianti Toscana

Renovated 1400 stone hamlet with pool for sale with 57 hectares of land in Radda in Chianti, Siena. In the heart of Chianti Classico with enchanting views over woods, country dwellings, nature and vineyards, in a fantastic position to explore and experience Tuscany, just minutes from Castellina and Panzano in Chianti, only 25 minutes north of Siena and 40 minutes south of Florence. Above the main doorway is the date 1437 etched in stone, a testimony of its important heritage as a lookout tower guarding the passage between Florence and Siena. Over time the hamlet has been enriched and altered, and after a long period of neglect, the current owners have masterfully transformed it into an elegant residence with modern comforts. The 600-year-old stone walls frame an inner courtyard with a belvedere, ideal for al fresco time with spectacular sunsets. All interiors have been carefully designed to enhance the beauty and peace of the place, without betraying its essence. The garden is landscaped with terraces and dry-stone walls and where a panoramic infinity-edge swimming pool finds its perfect location, a setting that truly leaves breathless. Borgo Le Pietre Antiche (namely the ancient stones hamlet) includes a total of four separate buildings, equipped with technical rooms and self-contained facilities. Three stone buildings dominate the view to the south and form the original part of the hamlet preserving the traditional ceilings with exposed wooden beams, brick arches and natural stone details throughout. The main house is distinguished by its living areas with large dining tables and lounges to comfortably accommodate family and guests, up to 20 people. The former barn and sheepfold now house separate guest houses with one or two bedrooms, living room with a fireplace and a kitchen. All rooms are air-conditioned. Slightly detached from the central core of the hamlet, a three-level cottage, the guardian's house, built in 2009, consists of a garage, workshop and two-bedroom apartment. The private access road runs through the property's forest with paths and nature trails. The olive grove produces about 1400 liters of evo oil per year, while the small vineyard can reach some 4800 bottles of Chianti Classico DOCG wine. The additional pasture and arable farmland, due to their excellent location at over 500 meters above sea level, can be used to expand vineyards and olive groves. Borgo Le Pietre Antiche is a small, family-run farm with a loyal international clientele, families and groups of friends who rent the entire hamlet on an exclusive basis each year for their vacations in Tuscany. A very reserved and exclusive location, also ideal as a private residence, a retreat in contact with nature and the Chianti country lifestyle.
