Just a few minutes from the Castello di Volognano, in one of the most authentic and unspoiled areas of the Florentine hills, there is a place that is not simply lived in, but truly experienced, breathed, and remembered.
The Castello di Volognano is not only a scenic backdrop, but a fragment of history that accompanies everyday life. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves that define one of the most iconic landscapes of Tuscany, it still preserves its medieval charm. Originally a strategic and agricultural hub, it has also become a reference point for high-quality wine production, making this area a true gem overlooking the Arno Valley. Living here means waking up inside an authentic, unfiltered landscape.
From Florence it takes about 30 minutes to completely change perspective: absolute silence, natural light, greenery, and scents create a sense of peace that is increasingly rare and valuable. The road gently descends through panoramic curves, olive groves, and open views. About 600 m from the SP90 provincial road, a green countryside path leads to the property, offering continuous views of the castle and hills.
In this timeless setting stands the farmhouse: a perfect balance between history, nature, and innovation. Dating back to the 1600s, it is located at about 240 m above sea level in a dominant, bright, and quiet position. Access is via a stone-paved courtyard shared with another property, elegant and discreet.
The main garden surrounds the house on three sides, with centuries-old olive trees and open valley views: here time slows down. The entrance, with an arched iron-and-glass door, leads to authentic interiors featuring original terracotta floors, a preserved wood-fired oven, and carefully restored historic materials.
The first room includes a windowed bathroom with brick arches, stone details, and majolica finishes. A unique feature is the hidden wine cellar, accessed via an electric lift integrated into the stone floor. Beyond the original wooden door, the living area opens into a modern fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace lounge, and a large open space with exposed beams, terracotta arches, and stone walls. Natural light changes throughout the day, enhancing every space.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is a suite with a study/walk-in wardrobe (convertible into a third bedroom). The en-suite bathroom features a whirlpool bathtub, a large built-in hydromassage shower, and elegant majolica finishes. A second double bedroom maintains the same high quality, while the main bathroom is extremely bright thanks to three windows. A laundry area and attic storage with electric retractable stairs complete the floor.
The property measures 229 sqm cadastral (170 sqm usable), with 7 rooms and 3 bathrooms, offering generous but well-balanced spaces.
Outside, the estate extends over approx. 6,000 sqm of private land plus 1,000 sqm in 50% shared ownership. The land includes around 70 ancient olive trees producing about 200 liters of high-quality olive oil, fruit trees, citrus plants, a vegetable garden, and landscaped areas: both productive and ornamental.
Two terraces enhance outdoor living: a stone barbecue area and a large panoramic pergola overlooking the Arno Valley and the Apennines. A fully functional original stone well adds authenticity and practicality. The grounds also include stone and terracotta fountains and wrought-iron lighting that transforms the atmosphere in the evening.
Technology is a key strength: high-level Wi-Fi with mesh repeaters and SIM-based system, plus a 75-inch home theatre system. The property was fully renovated in 2022 (roof, windows, systems, insulation). The north wall and roof are insulated with 12 cm, while east and west façades retain original stone. Energy class A+.
A 20 kW photovoltaic system with a 22 kWh storage battery ensures full energy independence: zero electricity, heating, and cooling costs, electric car charging for approx. 25,000 km/year, and around €2,000/year income from energy sold to the grid.
All systems are remotely controlled: heat pump heating and cooling, hot water, irrigation with 12 zones, lighting, and security. The property includes 6 HD surveillance cameras, internal and external alarms, full home automation (voice-controlled), central vacuum system, and water softener. Two rainwater tanks (40 m³ total) feed an automatic irrigation system.
Additional spaces include a cellar, two external storage rooms, laundry area, and technical rooms.
The farmhouse is sold fully furnished with high-quality furniture, lighting, paintings, mirrors, and Persian carpets, all carefully selected to match the home. Included is also all agricultural equipment: 4WD brush cutter tractor, rotary tiller, sprayer, pruning and olive harvesting systems, drilling tools, and a nearly new robotic lawn mower.
