Unique Historic Estate Between Florence and the Chianti Hills

A Renaissance Icon in the Heart of Tuscany

Nestled within the most authentic landscape of the Tuscan countryside, this historic castle for sale stands as one of the most extraordinary properties currently available on the Italian real estate market. Attributed to Filippo Brunelleschi and dating back to 1424, this Renaissance estate extends across more than 1,200 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, woodland, and arable land. Far more than a private residence, it represents a fully integrated heritage estate where history, production, and hospitality coexist in perfect harmony, offering a rare opportunity for those seeking to invest in one of the most authentic expressions of Tuscan luxury.

A Timeless Historical Legacy

From Florentine Noble Families to the Grand Story of Italy

The origins of the castle are deeply rooted in the Renaissance, when the great Florentine families were called upon to fortify their countryside residences. Once owned by the noble Pucci family, the estate has welcomed over the centuries some of the most prominent figures in history, including popes, sovereigns, and Lorenzo de’ Medici. During the Second World War, its strategic position led to its use as a military headquarters. This perfectly documented historical continuity endows the property with exceptional cultural and symbolic value within the European real estate and heritage landscape.

Monumental Architecture and Grand Interiors

Renaissance Elegance and Defensive Strength in Perfect Balance

The castle is distinguished by its imposing brick structure, featuring perimeter walls, corner towers, and a striking clock tower that defines the entire complex. The interiors, spanning approximately 33,000 sqm, unfold through grand reception halls, formal salons, and noble living spaces of remarkable charm, all preserving the aristocratic atmosphere of the period. Surrounding the main residence are traditional farmhouses, an elegant 18th-century villa, a private chapel, and dedicated production facilities, offering extensive potential for high-end residential and hospitality development.

Wine Production, Hospitality, and Exceptional Investment Opportunity

A Fully Active Tuscan Estate of Wine, Olive Oil, and Luxury Living

The estate is today a fully operational agricultural property, featuring a winery with an annual production of approximately 250,000 bottles, including Chianti DOCG, IGT wines, and Vin Santo, complemented by an excellent production of extra virgin olive oil. The estate is further enhanced by an established hospitality offering, including luxury stays, exclusive events, and tastings within its historic cellars. Two swimming pools, two picturesque private lakes, and an extensive hunting reserve contribute to an immersive and highly private experience, in perfect balance between nature and comfort. Thanks to its extraordinary scale and existing structures, the property is ideally suited for further development as a luxury resort in the heart of Tuscany: a truly unique investment opportunity on the international real estate market.
