Florence Tuscany Fixer Upper

In the upmarket suburb of Pian dei Giullari, on the hills outside Florence is this historic villa with guest units, a park and an olive grove for sale. The buildings have a total surface area of almost 900 sqm but are sadly neglected and now need complete renovation. They offer ample space for both a private prestige residence and a small accommodation business. The 4.4-ha park located on the gentle slope of the hill hosts a large olive grove, which needs to be recovered, and a terraced garden with double access (one for the villa, the other for the outbuildings).

Services are all available nearby in about a 5-minute drive and the historic centre of Florence (Porta Romana) can be reached in less than ten minutes. From the villa, you can easily reach both Florence airport (20’) and the A1 highway.

The villa has a surface area of 609 sqm – 6,553 sqft with a total of 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms and is divided into three units, as well as housing a spacious garage and cellars in the basement. Two of the apartments could be used as both guest and service staff units.
– Owners’ apartment: entrance hall with service bathroom, living room with fireplace, dining room with access to veranda, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms;
– Janitor’s apartment (ground floor): kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom;
– Guest apartment (first and second floor): entrance hall, living room, kitchen with small service bathroom and bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
The villa features a large paved terrace, located in front of the building, ideal for relaxation.

Guesthouse A has a surface area of 109 sqm – 1,173 sqft with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is a trapezoid-shaped building consisting of a large living room with a kitchen, dining room and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Guesthouse B has a surface area of 137 sqm – 1,474 sqft with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and is a single-story building leaning against the garden slope, consisting of a large living room, kitchen with dining area, bedroom with bathroom and a spacious cellar.

The last building is a greenhouse (40 sqm – 430 sqft) consisting of two rooms, used respectively for sheltering plants in winter and tools.

The villa is surrounded by a park of 4.4 hectares (10.9 acres) that includes a garden portion around the buildings, a large olive grove (2.8 ha) that needs to be recovered and some portions of arable land (about 1.0 ha covered largely by trees and bushes) to be cleaned and put back into use.

A private road starts from secondary private access and leads directly to the outbuildings without passing through the villa.
