This restored classic Tuscan farmhouse is part of the ample estate, deeply rooted in the agricultural history of Tuscany, which spreads over 1700 hectares and boasts more than 100 acres of organic vineyards dotting the magnificent landscape.
The property benefits from an open floor plan, sunlit by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that open panoramic views of the Tuscan hills.

The property fully takes advantage of its hillside location — as the levels cascade, so do the generous outdoor spaces. The pergola overlooks the sunbathing area, which in turn surrounds a fabulous heated glass-tiled infinity pool. Two terraces offer views over the estate and San Gimignano.
