Investment land – Rignano sull'Arno, Tuscany, Italy

Nestled among the green hills near Florence there is this old fortified settlement from the 12th century, surrounded by 143 hectares of land. This complex for sale is full of history (some evidence found here date it back to the Etruscans) and was passed from one Florentine noble family to another; it has been recently carefully renovated by following the Tuscan tradition. This luxurious property has a total surface of 6,000 m²; during the renovation it was divided into 57 independent apartments scattered among various buildings such as the 13th-century medieval tower, old heart of the farmstead. The apartments have been designed in a warm, rustic style and feature cotto tiled floors, high ceilings with beams or coffered ceilings and all have many windows which offer a fantastic view over a typical Tuscan landscape made of vineyards and olive groves. The villa has access to a fantastic Italian-style garden planted with ancient boxwood hedges and typically Mediterranean tall trees. Walking down the park surrounding this property you will find a very big swimming pool, the ideal place to cool down on hot summer days while surrounded by nature. There are then two artificial grass tennis courts. To complete this property there is also a charming private chapel which is still consecrated and decorated with some beautiful original frescoes from the 14th century. The chapel leads to a lovely internal courtyard which gives light to the rooms. This farm actively produces olive oil, wine and organic jam and is located in a charming setting which is home to vineyards, olive groves and coppice woodland (which supplies the property of timber), where you can go trekking or mountain biking and discover some wild places and animals.
