Certaldo Italy Home with Restored Barn and Land in Tuscany

This Certaldo Italy home is a substantial Tuscan farmhouse property with a restored barn, an agricultural outbuilding and 1 hectare of land. Located in the hills between Certaldo, Barberino Tavarnelle and Poggibonsi, the property has paved-road access and panoramic views across the Chianti countryside. Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and the main towns of central Tuscany are within practical driving distance.

The estate provides approximately 1,137 square metres, or 12,223 square feet, of interior space across three buildings. It includes the main farmhouse, a fully restored former barn now used as a guesthouse, and a former wine cellar and vinsantaia requiring complete renovation. The existing accommodation has at least eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, with scope to create further living or guest space.

The main farmhouse measures approximately 659 square metres, or 7,091 square feet. The stone-and-brick building is arranged on a horseshoe plan and is currently divided into two independent apartments. Traditional materials include terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams and original fireplaces.

Apartment A is on the ground floor and comprises a living and dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Its position and independent layout could make it suitable for guests, staff or caretaker accommodation.

Apartment B occupies the first floor. It includes an entrance hall, a large living room with a fireplace and access to a panoramic terrace, an eat-in kitchen, a dining room, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms.

Additional rooms on the ground floor and basement of the farmhouse were previously used as stables, cellars and agricultural storage areas. These sections require renovation and offer potential for additional residential, recreational or hospitality-related space.

The former barn measures approximately 359 square metres (3,852 square feet) and has been fully restored as an independent guesthouse. The accommodation is arranged mainly on one level and includes a large open-plan living area with high ceilings, a lounge, dining area, and kitchen. A second lounge or television room leads to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A technical room for the building systems is located on the lower level.

The third building is a former agricultural annex of approximately 119 square metres, or 1,280 square feet. Previously used as a wine cellar and vinsantaia for the production and ageing of Vin Santo, it requires complete renovation. It could be converted into further guest accommodation, a studio, office or leisure space.

A maintained garden of approximately 3,200 square metres surrounds the buildings. The level ground provides space for outdoor dining, seating and recreational areas. There is currently no swimming pool, although the garden has sufficient space for one.

The remaining land extends to approximately 7,500 square metres. It could be used to enlarge the garden, create a private park or establish a small vineyard, orchard or olive grove, depending on the buyer’s requirements.

The property is in good overall condition, although parts of the main farmhouse would benefit from updating and the former cellar requires full restoration. The combination of independent accommodation, extensive interiors, and additional development space makes it suitable for use as a large private residence, a multi-generational home, or a potential hospitality property.

Electricity is connected and supported by a photovoltaic system. The property also has mains water, LPG gas, radiator heating, air conditioning and internet access. The telephone service would need to be connected. The current energy rating is Class G, with an EPgl,nren value of 307.40 kWh/m² per year.

Daily services are approximately 4 kilometres away. Poggibonsi is around 9 kilometres from the property, while Certaldo is approximately 11 kilometres away. San Gimignano, Colle di Val d’Elsa, Castellina in Chianti and Monteriggioni are also within easy reach.

Florence is approximately 41 kilometres away, and Siena is around 42 kilometres away, placing the property between two of Tuscany’s principal historic cities. Florence Airport is approximately 48 kilometres away, while Pisa International Airport is around 89 kilometres from the estate.
