Overview

In a dominant position overlooking the Sieve valley, a few kilometres from Florence and the centre of Pontassieve, we are offering for sale a charming historic tower dating back to the end of the 13th century. Originally built as a watchtower, the property underwent extensions in the following centuries, in the 16th and 18th centuries, while retaining its extraordinary architectural charm. The stone structure of the tower is spread over four floors above the ground floor, while the rest of the property is spread over two floors. The property retains original features of great value: stone portals and capitals, halls with antique fireplaces and coffered ceilings reminiscent of the style of Villa Il Palagio di Pomino. The current total floor space is approximately 600 square metres, distributed as follows: • The ground floor opens onto an elegant entrance hall with a fireplace. This is followed by two living rooms, one of which has a rare decorated wooden ceiling, a dining room, a kitchen and various service rooms. • Upstairs there is a majestic hall with wooden trusses, a second dining room, a spacious, modern and fully equipped kitchen, as well as additional versatile rooms. • The entire property has nine bedrooms, distributed over the two main floors. Outside, the property is free on all four sides, surrounded by a large garden and a magnificent panoramic terrace overlooking the Tuscan countryside and the Sieve River. The property is completed by a garage, a characteristic barn and approximately 2.7 hectares of land. Due to its historical and architectural characteristics, the property is subject to restrictions imposed by the Superintendency of Fine Arts. This unique residence represents a rare opportunity for those seeking an oasis of peace and history, surrounded by nature but within easy reach of all amenities and the heart of Florence.
