A 16th-Century Farming Estate in the Chianti Classico Hills #21926
This Tuscan farmhouse for sale in Greve in Chianti forms the main part of an ancient agricultural village dating back to the 16th century. The estate operates as a working agriturismo and agricultural company, comprising a main residence, a restored barn, storage areas, a maintained cellar, and 9.4 hectares of productive land in the Province of Florence. With 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a swimming pool, Chianti Classico vineyards, and an olive grove of 800 plants, the property functions as a complete and immediately operational rural estate. Furnishings and agricultural equipment are included in the sale. Parquet and terracotta floors run throughout both residential buildings.
The position is elevated, with 360-degree views across the Tuscan landscape and the surrounding valley.
The Main House
The main residence is the principal structure of the ancient village complex, with a style reminiscent of a typical Tuscan farmhouse from the late 19th century. Stone facades, arched window details, and traditional proportions give the building its character. Inside, a spacious kitchen and living room with fireplace serves as the central gathering space of the home. Four double bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread across the floors. In front of the residence, a scenic panoramic terrace provides an outdoor setting for meals and aperitifs with open views at sunset across the Chianti hills.
The Barn
The restored barn occupies a separate structure within the complex, positioned to overlook the valley and the hills of Chianti directly. It includes a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, and it operates fully independently from the main house. The barn is well-suited for guest accommodation, staff use, or additional rental income within the agriturismo operation. The views from this building are among the most distinctive features of the entire estate.
Vineyards, Olive Grove, and Agricultural Land
The 9.4 hectares of land include approximately 2 hectares of Chianti Classico and Gallo Nero vineyards. Current production amounts to 136 quintals of grapes, yielding approximately 92 hectoliters of Chianti Classico wine and 4.44 hectoliters of IGT wine per season. The olive grove comprises 800 established plants with an annual production of approximately 850 litres of olive oil. A connected cellar of 30 square meters supports the on-site storage and processing of both products.
The remaining agricultural land surrounds the buildings on multiple sides, ensuring complete privacy and a productive rural context that supports the agriturismo classification and agricultural company status.
The Swimming Pool and Garden
The swimming pool measures 6 by 12 meters and sits within a solarium area surrounded by established garden vegetation. A technical room for the pool pumps was installed in 2022. The connected garden of 5,000 square meters provides a well-maintained green setting directly around the main residence and pool area.
Practical Features
The estate is equipped with GPL heating and solar panels for hot water. Water supply is provided through a natural spring, a well, and a storage cistern, making the estate largely self-sufficient. A warehouse of 50 square meters and a connected garage of 50 square meters provide additional storage for vehicles and agricultural equipment. The full inventory of furnishings and agricultural equipment is included in the sale.
