A Dual-Unit Property in a 14th-Century Monastery Complex #21401
Dating back to 1300, this property sits within an exclusive farmhouse complex of monastic origin in Figline e Incisa Valdarno, in the countryside between Florence and Chianti. It is a rare property to buy in Italy: two independent residential units within a historic complex, easily combined into a single large home, set within communal green spaces and sharing a panoramic infinity pool.
The two units together consists of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across three floors, with a private connected garden of 80 square meters, a private loggia, and a parking area of 150 square meters. The complex also retains a share of ownership in an ancient historic church on site, adding a further layer of significance to the setting.
Unit One: Restored Farmhouse of 120 sqm
The principal unit is a restored farmhouse of approximately 120 square meters, renovated with careful attention to the materials typical of traditional Tuscan farmhouse construction. The result combines authentic character with fully modern comfort throughout.
The ground floor opens onto a habitable kitchen with fireplace and dining area, a guest bathroom, and a pantry. The kitchen with fireplace is a warm and functional centerpiece of the ground floor, suited to both daily use and informal entertaining. The first floor holds two bedrooms and a bathroom with both shower and bathtub. The attic floor accommodates the master bedroom with a private sitting room, offering the most secluded and distinctive space in the property.
This unit also includes three features that set it apart: a private loggia, a private garden of 80 square meters with an automatic irrigation system, and an integrated sound diffusion system throughout.
Unit Two: Independent Apartment of 100 sqm
The second unit of approximately 100 square meters is in good condition and functions fully independently. It is equally suited as a guest house, a staff apartment, a rental unit, or additional living space for extended family.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with guest bathroom and a large kitchen and taverna space. The upper floor holds a sitting room with direct access to a panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. The terrace is a well-positioned outdoor space with views across the complex gardens and the Chianti countryside beyond.
The Complex and Shared Spaces
The property is part of a farmhouse complex of monastic origin, located within extensive communal green spaces that ensure privacy and a genuine sense of seclusion. Shared facilities include a condominium infinity pool, communal gardens, and a parking area of 150 square meters. The complex also holds a share of ownership in an ancient historic church, a feature that reflects the depth of the site’s heritage and sets it apart from comparable properties in the area.
Condominium fees amount to approximately 350 euros per year. Heating is electric with an individual autonomous system. Water is supplied from the municipal aqueduct.
Location and Potential
Figline e Incisa Valdarno sits in the Valdarno corridor between Florence and Arezzo, with easy access to the Chianti wine region to the west. The combination of the historic setting, the dual-unit configuration, and the shared amenities makes this a strong option for buyers considering both personal use and rental income.
For those looking for a property to buy in Italy with flexibility, character, and a historic setting at a considered price point, this complex represents a well-rounded opportunity. The two units can function independently or be combined into a single 220 square meter home, depending on the buyer’s needs.
