Antique Guard Tower with Private Village and Pool in the Hills of Florence Description The architectural complex unfolds as a real private village consisting of four distinct housing units, born around a medieval historic core. The manor villa of about 349 sq m represents the main body and develops over several levels, preserving unique historic details. On the ground floor there is an elegant entrance leading to a traditional kitchen, formal dining room, large reception living room, laundry area, one bedroom, and three bathrooms. On the first floor, the sleeping area hosts three bedrooms, including a charming mezzanine room, and another bathroom. The basement reveals a summer room with a bathroom, ideal as a wellness area, as well as magnificent original stone cellars. The barn (fienile) of about 142 sq m is an elegant independent outbuilding. The upper floor is a bright open-plan space with large glass walls, exposed-beam ceilings, and a equipped kitchen. The lower floor houses three bedrooms and a bathroom, with direct access to the exclusive garden. The first apartment of about 54 sq m is a cozy independent one-bedroom with kitchen, double bedroom, and bathroom, ideal for guests or staff. The second apartment of about 100 sq m is a pretty two-level residence that includes a kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, service room, and a useful attic space. External spaces The property is set in a park of about 5,000 sq m entirely fenced, ensuring absolute privacy. The garden, laid out on natural terraces, features a stunning panoramic pool located on the lower level. Adjacent to the pool, a stone cabana offers the ideal space for outdoor lunches and shaded relaxation areas. The estate also has convenient vehicle access and several private parking spots, in addition to a service shed of about 30 sq m.
