3间卧室别墅, 143 m²

埃尔萨谷口村, Siena (省)

Within a medieval rural hamlet, stone house with two cottages, basement rustic cellar, garden, for sale near Colle Val d’Elsa and San Gimignano. Reached by a picturesque avenue of cypress trees, this enchanting property lies within a small medieval hamlet in the rolling Sienese countryside, beautifully positioned between Siena and Florence, where olive groves and woodland frame the landscape in timeless Tuscan harmony. The borgo dates back to the 10th century and still retains the castle and a small church. Tucked into a peaceful corner at the edge of the borgo, we present an exceptional property for sale extending to approximately 243 sq m/2,615 sq ft over three stone buildings full of character within a private garden. At its heart stands a meticulously two-story restored stone barn, dating back to 1900, offering 115 sq m/1,238 sq ft paired with a remarkable approx. 70 sq m/753 sq ft basement cellar carved into tuff and stone. The restoration, completed in 2000, preserves the soul of the building through traditional materials: chestnut beams, terracotta floors and brick arches, discreetly integrating modern comforts as air conditioning. The ground floor opens from a terracotta-paved terrace into a generous open-plan living space, where a central brick arch subtly defines the kitchen and sitting areas with a fireplace. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the accommodation. The windows and doors are made of solid wood and feature double glazing, mosquito nets and wrought-iron security fittings. Below, with access from the garden, the ancient cellar evokes the agricultural heritage of the estate. Hewn from tuff, it still houses original features including the millstone once turned by donkeys and historic equipment used in olive oil and wine production. Next to cellar entrance, a former stone barn, measuring 32 sq m/344 sq f, has been restored into a cottage with two versatile living spaces, ideal for guests. The third building, a 16 sq m/172 sq ft barn, remains to be reimagined and offers excellent potential as a studio, atelier or additional guest area. The atmosphere is one of understated elegance and authenticity, where the rhythm of rural life continues much as it has for centuries. Yet essential services are within easy reach, ensuring both convenience and seclusion. Essential amenities are close at hand, in a strategic location between San Gimignano and Colle Val d’Elsa, just a few minutes’ drive away, on the ancient road to Volterra.
