On the hills of San Gimignano, in the Chianti Colli Senesi area, 318.2 ha wine farm with 83.4 ha vineyard and stately villa for sale. The estate consists of several residential buildings (over 4,400 sqm in total), partly to be renovated, which could be used as an accommodation business (about 35 bedrooms). The wine cellar (nearly 1,700 sqm with a vat capacity of 16,000 hl) allows the production of about 5,000 hl of wine per year.
The estate is very conveniently located, less than a kilometer from a town with all basic services and less than twenty minutes' drive from the medieval villages of Colle Val d'Elsa, San Gimignano and Volterra. The central location in the heart of Tuscany, an important factor if one were interested in starting a tourist accommodation activity, also allows one to visit the region's art cities in little more than an hour (Siena, Florence, Pisa, Lucca...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The manorial villa (1,208 sqm – 12,998 sqft, 13 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms) is a large mansion structured on three floors. The building needs restoration and modernization to be enjoyed to its full potential.
• Ground floor: hallway, living room, kitchen, laundry room, rural storehouse, aristocratic chapel;
• First floor: reception hall, five bedrooms and two bathrooms;
• Second floor: large relaxation room and five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
With independent access, there is then a rustic apartment on three floors, built in the east wing of the villa and consisting of entrance hall, living room with kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom.
Not far from the villa, a large rustic farmhouse (576 sqm – 6,198 sqft, 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms) on two floors houses the offices of the business, the sales point for the company's products, warehouses, staff bathroom and two apartments (currently inhabited by the company's employees).
• Apt. A: living room with loggia, kitchen, laundry, three bedrooms and three bathrooms;
• Apt. B: entrance hall, living room with kitchen, laundry room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Also near the villa, next to the park, is an agricultural outbuilding (103 sqm – 1,108 sqft) that is used partly as a canteen for the staff and partly as a shelter for tools and farm equipment.
The wine cellar (1,698 sqm – 18,270 sqft) is a large reinforced concrete building, close to the villa, and divided into two separate areas. The first houses the production and aging rooms, while the second is for bottling, labeling and storage of the finished product.
In front of the winery, partially underground, a large garage (387 sqm – 4,164 sq) was then built in which company vehicles and larger equipment are sheltered.
