Bucine, Tuscany 52021

In the heart of the Castle of Montebenichi lies the historic Casa dei Mercenari, a residence that tells centuries of history through its coats of arms on the façades and original structures, skilfully preserved during the 2020 renovation. The house is developed on two floors: on the ground floor, which is fully accessible thanks to a goods lift connecting the private car park to the entrance, there is a bright living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, while the first floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage room. The property also includes a 20 sm utility room, once used as a pigsty, and a large 372 sm garden with automatic irrigation. The 38 sm terrace, with solar lighting, and the 105 mt swimming pool with cover complete the outdoor spaces, offering moments of relaxation and privacy within the historic setting. The kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances and the house has fibre optic connection with Wi-Fi amplification to the terrace and swimming pool. Two uncovered parking spaces and a 7,000-litre cistern for collecting rainwater complete the amenities, making the residence functional and modern without altering its historic soul. Sold complete with furnishings, the Casa dei Mercenari is ideal for those who want to live in a place steeped in history, with the charm of a medieval castle and all the comforts of a contemporary home. The Val d'Ambra, in the heart of Chianti, surrounds the Castello di Montebenichi with its rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, offering scenery of extraordinary beauty and a unique quality of life. The castle is located in a privileged position, just 35 km from Siena, a city of art rich in history and charm, and enjoys proximity to Bucine, with all the necessary amenities for daily life, from schools to shops. Straddling the upper Valdarno and Chianti Classico, it is an excellent starting point for visiting the most famous places in the area such as Montepulciano, Arezzo, Assisi and Lake Trasimeno. Thanks to its strategic location, it offers convenient access to the A1 motorway, making it easy to reach the main airports such as Florence, Pisa and Rome.
