The Chianti Classico hills, not far from the town of Greve in Chianti, rural estate of 18.9 hectares with two hamlets for sale. The property is the perfect starting point for a hospitality business thanks to the presence of as many as 16 bedrooms all arranged to ensure great privacy and confidentiality for guests. The agricultural land hosts a large vineyard (7.7 ha) that could be exploited by reactivating the winery present on the estate.
The property has all the necessary services in the nearby town and they can be reached on foot in a few minutes directly from the hamlets. For transportation, there is the great advantage of being about halfway (20 km) both from the A1 motorway and the Florence-Siena highway junction, ensuring a quick connection to most of Italy.
BORGO GIULIANO
Farmhouse A (330 m² – 3,551 ft², 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is a rustic building on two levels, in good maintenance condition and divided into two independent apartments (both on two floors):
• Apt. A: living room, dining room with kitchen, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms;
• Apt. B: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom.
The guesthouse (239 m² – 2,572 ft², 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms), obtained from the old barn, is spread over two floors and hosts a garage and two bedrooms with bathrooms on the ground floor, and another two bedrooms with bathrooms on the first floor.
The agricultural outbuilding (76 m² – 818 ft²), located behind the farmhouse, consists of comfortable storage rooms, an original oven, and a room for the water pump.
The buildings are immersed in a well-kept garden of 4,800 m² enclosed by a hedge that keeps prying eyes away. Access is provided by an automatic gate. The green space is very suitable for creating a swimming pool (subject to the necessary permits).
BORGO LORENZO
Farmhouse B (386 m² – 4,153 ft², 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is spread over two floors and is characterized by a central tower. On the ground floor, next to the residence, is a large rustic room used as a wine fermenting room and/or storage for wines. The residential part consists of an entrance, breakfast room, reception, kitchen with pantry, service bathroom, room with en-suite bathroom, dressing room with bathroom, a small basement storage room, and exit to the rear loggia. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and exit to the terrace, and two with shared bathrooms, and a staircase leading to the tower.
The old wine cellar (234 m² – 2,518 ft², 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), located beside the farmhouse, is spread over two levels. The ground floor houses the grape processing rooms, a wine aging room, the storage for finished products, the company shop, and a locker room with a bathroom for employees. The upper floor houses an apartment in good shape consisting of a living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
These buildings also have an exclusive garden of 5,100 m², again surrounded by a hedge and dotted with tall trees that ensure pleasant shaded corners for the summer. A project for a swimming pool was proposed here but never built: the only work done is a stone wall that would have separated the pool area from the actual garden, but work could always be resumed.
Not far from the cellar, there is a convenient rural shed (42 m² – 452 ft²) intended for storing farming tools.
EXTERIOR
The estate covers a total area of 18.9 hectares (46.7 acres) on hilly terrain with excellent sun exposure. From a production standpoint, the property can count on a large vineyard (7.8 ha) and a small olive grove (about 4,000 m²). Currently, the wine production is halted, and the property is unused, but the winery already exists on the estate and could be easily restarted with a potential production, considering IGT wines, of about 130,000 bottles per year.
The remaining part of the estate is made up of some arable land plots (about 2.6 ha), very suitable for planting vines, olives, or other local crops, and forests (about 7.1 ha) which offer various opportunities for excursions and walks in nature, offering shelter from the heat even in summer.
