Prestigious 460 sqm Tuscan country estate with pool, convertible barn, and one hectare in Scarperia e San Piero

Scarperia e San Piero: prestigious 460 sqm country estate with 6 en-suite suites, hammam, pool, 1 ha park, and 210 sqm barn with approved plans in Tagliaferro. General Description: In the rolling green scenery of the Mugello valley, in the hillside hamlet of Tagliaferro within the municipality of Scarperia e San Piero, this prestigious 460 sqm Tuscan country estate is offered for sale as an exclusive listing. Framed by a one-hectare private landscaped park, a scenic outdoor pool, and an independent outbuilding with approved building permits, the property seamlessly blends classic Tuscan rural architecture with high-level residential comfort. The pairing of a restored main villa and an independent outbuilding ready for residential conversion makes this property an outstanding opportunity for a multi-family family compound, an executive estate, or an upscale country boutique hotel close to Florence. Main Villa and Reception Living Spaces: The main country villa spans two levels for a total of eleven principal rooms. The ground floor is dedicated to social reception and leisure, filled with natural light and refined architectural materials: an expansive living salon centered on a monumental stone wood-burning fireplace provides a grand setting for entertaining guests and family gatherings. Adjacent to the reception salon is a formal dining room communicating directly with a large eat-in kitchen designed for daily family life and fully capable of hosting private chef dinners or catering services. Practical utility rooms, laundry spaces, pantry storage, and service bathrooms complete the ground floor layout. Sleeping Quarters, En-Suite Suites, and Private Hammam: An internal stone staircase leads to the first floor, entirely arranged to ensure privacy and restful relaxation. The wide central landing accesses six double bedrooms, each restored with quality finishes and featuring its own private en-suite bathroom with contemporary porcelain fixtures and custom tiling. A signature feature of this private night floor is an integrated Turkish bath (hammam), providing an exclusive private wellness sanctuary within the home, a distinct luxury feature for personal relaxation or high-end international hospitality guests. One-Hectare Private Park and Swimming Pool: The residence is enveloped by a private fenced park of approximately 10,000 sqm (one hectare), providing complete acoustic and visual privacy. Set within the manicured lawns is an outdoor in-ground swimming pool with terracotta and stone solarium decking, creating an inviting oasis for relaxing during sunny Tuscan summers. The grounds also offer shaded lounge areas, dining pergolas for open-air meals, and extensive private parking areas suitable for multiple resident and guest vehicles. Independent Annex with Approved Building Project: A unique strategic asset of the property is the detached two-story outbuilding (former barn and storehouse) measuring approximately 210 sqm of gross surface (around 180 sqm of usable floor space), currently in builder-shell condition. The building benefits from an approved municipal project and structural certification on file with the Civil Engineering Bureau (Genio Civile) for change of use into residential dwelling. Crucial structural renovations have already been executed and tested: an insulated timber roof, seismic structural reinforcement, perimeter ventilation trench (scannafosso), and new certified septic drainage systems. This annex provides immediate potential to build a second independent guest house, family villa, or boutique holiday apartments. Strategic Position Linking Countryside and Florence: Situated in Tagliaferro, the property enjoys pleasant climatic breezes and peaceful countryside settings without feeling remote. Within a 5 to 10-minute drive are the center of Vaglia with its train station, the renowned Poggio dei Medici 18-hole championship Golf Club, the Mugello International Circuit, and the open waters of Lake Bilancino.
