This charming property, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves typical of the Tuscan landscape, is currently divided into four apartments with a total of eight bedrooms. It boasts a stunning 5,700-square-metre garden complete with a swimming pool and guest parking.

Presently operated as a holiday accommodation facility, this former mill offers a picturesque retreat for those who adore the Tuscan countryside, while still being conveniently close to the amenities of nearby towns like Bucine and Montevarchi.

Originally part of a complex of three mills serving the Curia of Florence, this mill played a vital role in grinding flour, especially chestnuts and chickpeas, to supply the Spedale di Fiesole. The restoration, overseen by the Department of Fine Arts, has meticulously preserved its original architectural features, including the water galleries from the millpond. These historic elements are visible both from the apartment floors and from exterior access, showcasing the mill’s rich past.

Renovations have retained the historic integrity using typical Tuscan materials. Bathrooms and kitchens feature rough travertine tiles, smooth travertine countertops, terracotta floors, handcrafted ceramic decorations, and untreated brass faucets, enhancing the authentic rustic Tuscan style.

The mill, known as Mulino Rosso, offers four unique apartments surrounded by a fragrant 5,700-square-metre garden and a distinctive 17 × 8 m swimming pool, beautifully carved from the ancient gora. This historic property is perfect for buyers seeking a blend of history, charm, and modern functionality in the heart of Tuscany.
