Corner portion of manor villa measuring 370 sqm for sale in Barberino Tavarnelle. 10 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 30 sqm loggia, 90 sqm garage, and 4,500 sqm land. General Description: In the scenic hill landscape set between the Chianti Fiorentino hills and the Elsa Valley, just minutes from the conveniences of Barberino Val d'Elsa and Tavarnelle, we offer for sale an exclusive corner portion of a historic manor villa measuring 370 commercial sqm, free on two sides and nestled in an extraordinarily peaceful, refined countryside setting. The property underwent a comprehensive structural renovation approximately eleven years ago, successfully blending noble Tuscan rural architecture with contemporary living standards, featuring airy interiors, great natural illumination, and lofty ceilings. The residence is distinguished by seamless visual continuity between indoor spaces and surrounding nature, enjoying open panoramic views towards the medieval silhouette of San Gimignano and a generous 30 sqm covered ground-floor loggia conceived for open-air hospitality. Interior Description: The interior distribution spans three well-organized floors connected by convenient internal staircases, enhanced by two existing independent entrance doors that facilitate straightforward separation into two autonomous residences. The ground floor opens into an impressive living area consisting of a formal sitting room with a monumental wood-burning fireplace, scenic window framing San Gimignano, and direct access to the covered veranda, flanked by a dedicated dining room, a separate eat-in kitchen, a guest bathroom, and a private laundry room. The first floor is entirely devoted to the primary sleeping quarters, offering three expansive double bedrooms, two windowed bathrooms, and two walk-in closet or storage chambers. The top attic level provides two large habitable rooms with exposed thermal roof insulation, a fourth dedicated bathroom, under-eave storage spaces, and air-conditioning setup, providing the ideal configuration for an independent guest suite, creative atelier, or professional office. Exterior Description: The residence is framed by approximately 4,500 sqm of private agricultural grounds, ideal for cultivating an olive grove, setting up an organic vegetable garden, or installing a panoramic in-ground swimming pool subject to standard planning approval. The focal point of outdoor living is the 30 sqm covered ground-floor loggia, a paved architectural extension opening onto the private gardens and perfectly appointed for al fresco meals and entertaining while enjoying Tuscan countryside vistas. On the lower ground level, an expansive 90 sqm private garage provides significant added value: already plumbed for water connections, wired with its own electrical panel, and featuring structural feasibility for four overhead skylights, it can be adapted into a rustic tavern, private wellness spa, home fitness studio, or collector vehicle workshop.

Tourist and Historical Information: The municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle was created by merging two historic Tuscan communities deeply tied to Chianti and Val d'Elsa history. Barberino Val d'Elsa is a fortified medieval village organized along a distinctive spindle-shaped street layout, preserving segments of its original stone defensive perimeter, the 13th-century Porta Senese gate, and the Palazzo Pretorio adorned with coats of arms of Florentine magistrates. Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, established as a prominent staging post along ancient trans-Apennine travel arteries, features cultural landmarks such as Badia a Passignano, a fortified 10th-century Vallombrosan monastery housing Domenico Ghirlandaio's famous fresco of the Last Supper completed in 1476. The surrounding hills once saw the rise and fall of Semifonte, a proud castle city razed by Florence in 1202, today commemorated by the Chapel of San Michele at Semifonte, designed in the late 16th century as an exact miniature replica of Brunelleschi's Duomo dome. The area is globally celebrated for its Chianti Classico DOCG wines, Chianti Colli Fiorentini, extra virgin olive oil, and time-honored gastronomy centering around bistecca alla fiorentina, ribollita soup, and artisanal cured meats.
