10 bedroom Villa for sale in Via Salaiola, Empoli, Florence, Tuscany

In the province of Florence, a short distance from Empoli, nestled among the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, this historic villa dating back to the early 1700s is for sale. Located near a small village, this prestigious property offers a unique opportunity to live in an environment of refined elegance. Its privileged position ensures that you are enveloped in the atmosphere of a time when the building represented the nerve center of the small town of Monterappoli. The real estate complex comprises several properties. The main villa is the central focus around which we find a ruin to be converted and a farmhouse consisting of 5 apartments in good condition. The total internal surface area, partly to be redesigned, is approximately 1000 sq m. The villa itself has a surface area of approximately 600 sq m and is surrounded by a park with tall trees. Walking up the entrance staircase, you enter a place with a charm typical of bygone times. Absolutely suggestive. On the ground floor, there is the living area consisting of several frescoed halls surmounted by beautiful coffered ceilings. A staircase with stone steps and wrought-iron decorations leads to the sleeping area, composed of several bedrooms surrounding a central hall embellished with beautiful painted walls. Further upstairs, a large attic space can be used for potential expansion, and a dovecote leads to a terrace overlooking the gentle hills of the area. The villa as a whole is a perfect place to restore to its original splendor. A skillful and careful renovation would allow a requalification that could revive a unique and symbolic place that can be used by living in close contact with the Tuscan countryside or for tourist accommodation. The complex is therefore perfect for families, professionals, and lovers of art and the Italian lifestyle. Finally, externally, the property consists of seven hectares of land, of which 3 hectares are cultivated with vineyards for the production of excellent Chianti and a second part with olive groves. Empoli is located in the lower Valdarno plain, already reclaimed in Roman times. The territory extends from the Arno River to the surrounding hills. The first traces of the name Empoli date back to the beginning of the 8th century with a castle called Empoleum located in the city center. Famous is also the central square, Piazza Farinata degli Uberti, which houses the Collegiate Church of Sant'Andrea. The location is perfect for discovering an unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of Tuscany. This luxury residence is ideal for those seeking the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside combined with the convenience of a lively and historic city.
