Pelago, Tuscany 50060

Agricultural vineyard business located in the Chianti Rufina area, a short distance from Florence, featuring a manor house, a building divided into apartments, and extensive land with vineyards and olive groves. The property consists of the main farmhouse with traces dating back to the Middle Ages, which has been renovated to its current shape in the 1800s. The oldest part includes the manor house that occupies the entire first floor, with access via a still functioning stone staircase leading through a covered loggia into the manor house, where spacious rooms with wooden beams on the ceilings and a large fireplace testify to its past; adjacent to it is a large apartment on two levels. On the ground floor below the manor house are ancient cellars with an oil mill, an area dedicated to wine aging, and various other production spaces. A short distance away is the old barn, which has been divided into three independent apartments, along with a room on the ground floor with a private bathroom. The estate spans about 16 hectares, including 4.5 hectares of olive groves and 3.5 hectares of vineyards (2.3 in Chianti and 1.17 in IGT), all highly productive. The area closest to the buildings is maintained as a garden and common areas enhanced by flowering shrubs and tall trees that provide shade and coolness; in a more secluded area of the land with panoramic views of the valley, there is an above-ground pool, as well as a BBQ area, a bocce field, and children's play area. Strategically located within a wildlife repopulation area, it is not uncommon to encounter deer, hares, and pheasants while traversing the approximately 500-meter dirt road leading to the buildings. The manor house was renovated in the early 1990s, and during the same period, the apartments in the old barn were created in the typical Tuscan style using stone, wood, and terracotta. Adjustments to the systems would be necessary, especially to make the buildings more compliant with current regulations. This property can continue its natural vocation as a farm with agritourism activities and wine and oil production or be designated as a family home to live in all year round, thanks to its proximity to all services and a short distance from Florence. Located a short distance from Florence and all the main services of the Pelago city center, it is nestled in greenery with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside and protected by the hills of Vallombrosa behind it.
