Tuscan Villa for Sale with 128-Hectare Estate North of Florence

Located in the Mugello hills north of Florence, this 128.6-hectare estate includes a historic Tuscan villa and multiple outbuildings with strong potential for development into tourist accommodation. The main villa, built in the 16th century over a former medieval tower, measures 1,139 sqm and has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Original frescoes and architectural details are still present. The villa is structurally sound but requires updates to systems and interior finishes.

The layout includes historic cellars and storage areas in the basement. The ground floor features a main entrance, reading rooms with bathrooms, a living room with fireplace, kitchen, dining hall, a chapel with sacristy, and a guest bathroom. Upstairs are six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and several sitting and recreation rooms, with partially usable attic space above. Outside, the villa is surrounded by a 10,000 sqm park with mature trees and a 15×7 metre swimming pool in need of renovation.

Additional buildings include an old furnace (122 sqm), currently used as storage, which could be converted for events or use as a greenhouse. Nearby are a small garage (52 sqm) and a two-level storage building (168 sqm), both suitable for conversion into extra living space. Behind the villa are former animal stables (130 sqm) that could also be redeveloped.

East of the villa is a two-story hunting lodge (298 sqm) with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, located near a pond and surrounded by a 1,740 sqm private garden. The ground floor includes a living room, kitchen, and storage areas, while the upper floor houses the bedrooms and bathroom.

Casa della Vigna (448 sqm), located farther east, is a rustic farmhouse with 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, also requiring renovation. It includes a private 5,070 sqm garden and is near three agricultural storage buildings totaling 210 sqm.

The estate covers 128.6 hectares of mixed-use land. This includes 81.6 hectares of woodland, 15.2 hectares of productive chestnut grove, and 24.3 hectares of arable land suitable for crops such as olives, grapes, cereals, legumes, or alfalfa. Two private lakes near the villa and the hunting lodge provide water for irrigation. There are also 5.7 hectares of pasture.

The property is privately situated, yet only 3 km from a small town with basic services and 15 km from Borgo San Lorenzo. Florence and its airport are less than a 40-minute drive away.

The Mugello region is famous as the birthplace of the Medici family and artists such as Giotto, Donatello, Beato Angelico and others. Sporting facilities include an 18 hole golf club & resort, the world renowned Mugello race track (Autodromo del Mugello), and a lake (Lago Bilancino) with its beaches and small nautical club.
