House for sale in Greve in Chianti, Tuscany

Greve in Chianti and Figline Incisa Valdarno (FI), Badia di Montescalari: In an exclusive location, nestled between Chianti Classico and Florence, lies the ancient complex known as Badia di Montescalari. - History: Founded in the Early Middle Ages, likely around 1040, by monks of the Benedictine order as a residence for pilgrims, it represents an important example of religious and historical architecture. It was inhabited until 1930 by the monastic community of Montescalari and was subsequently auctioned to the noble family of Rosselli Del Turco, who maintained ownership until the early 1990s. The property can be transformed into a hospitality structure. - Accessibility: Access to the building complex is via the municipal road of Badia Montescalari, which branches off from Provincial Road No. 66, Panca Pancuccia. This road is unpaved, 2.5 km long, and in mediocre condition. - Description: The real estate complex consists of three main bodies and approximately 101 hectares of land divided as follows: A) The imposing Abbey of about 5000 sqm on three levels, partly used as a hospitality structure and partly as an ex-Benedictine abbey with six rooms designated as storage and sheds, a church, a library, a kitchen, 15 bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an uncovered courtyard on the ground floor, loggia overlooking the inner courtyard, 25 rooms, 13 bathrooms, and various corridors on the first floor. In the semi-basement and basement, there is a kitchen with a restaurant hall for the hospitality structure and stables. B) A farmhouse of about 860 sqm on two levels, partly habitable, consisting of 10 rooms with an oven on the ground floor and 11 rooms on the first floor. C) A farmhouse on two levels of about 400 sqm consisting of: Ground floor: living room, rustic kitchen, two rooms used as storage and an oven, with an internal staircase leading to an additional studio apartment with a bathroom. First floor: independent apartment with living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom. The property includes a deep well of about 80 m with a flow rate of about 80 l/sec and 101 hectares of land, mostly forest and part arable land ideal for replanting olive trees and vines. - Technical characteristics: The abbey is still perfectly visible. The materials predominantly used for its construction are stone, terracotta, and wood. Originally, it also included a bell tower, which was destroyed during World War II. One of the bronze bells was made by Andrea del Verrocchio. Internally, there are still visible paintings dating back to the 15th century that require restoration work. The two farmhouses need renovation and are located about 100 meters from the abbey. Very panoramic position, 16 km from the A1 motorway exit.
