A 13th-century historic residence with a 2,000-square-meter garden in the hills of Fiesole.
A residence that spans the centuries
There are homes where people live, and there are homes that tell a story.
This 13th-century residence is one of those rare properties that retain the charm of bygone eras, nestled in one of the most picturesque landscapes of the Florentine hills.
Located in Compiobbi, in the municipality of Fiesole, just a few minutes from Florence’s historic center, the property is set within an ancient fortified farmhouse built of Alberese stone, likely part of the historic watchtower system of Monteloro Castle.
Today, the complex consists of just six residences, nestled in a setting of absolute tranquility, where nature, history, and privacy coexist in perfect harmony.
The residence spans approximately 360 square meters across three levels.
The entrance hall welcomes guests with elegance and leads to the main living areas of the home.
The first floor features a grand double reception hall, a kitchen with a dining area, the master suite with a private bathroom, additional bedrooms, a study, and bathrooms, offering generous spaces and an extremely functional layout.
On the upper floor is a second living room, enhanced by a distinctive interior balcony that lends depth and charm to the spaces, highlighting the building’s original architecture.
Every detail speaks to the quality of the construction: the local stone, the exposed beams, the window frames, the doors, and the spectacular handcrafted staircase made of cherry wood lend the property an authentic and timeless elegance.
Outside, a splendid private garden of approximately 2,000 square meters offers an atmosphere of absolute tranquility. Here, the silence is broken only by the sounds of nature, amid olive trees, centuries-old trees, and the green hills of Fiesole.
The property is complemented by a wine cellar and a large open-air parking area serving the complex.
The generous floor area also allows for the spaces to be reimagined to meet contemporary needs, further enhancing a residence that already possesses a unique architectural identity.
This property is an ideal solution for those who wish to live surrounded by nature without sacrificing proximity to Florence, or for those seeking a prestigious historic residence that combines charm, prestige, and quality of life.
The asking price is €1,200,000
