Luxury property for sale in Tuscany Italy

This prestigious and grandiose estate, a veritable museum, stands in a stunningly panoramic position amidst the Pisan hills, offering an untouched natural setting a few kilometres from the sea. The estate comprises three impressive villas, collectively spanning over 4,300 square meters of floor space, presenting an excellent opportunity for both a private residence and a luxury boutique hotel. The villas are set within a magnificent 42,000 sqm park, accompanied by over 26 hectares of agricultural land, including an olive grove with 800 trees.

Nestled in an area renowned for its historic and esteemed villas, the property is less than a kilometre from a small town offering essential amenities within walking distance. Famous Tuscan cities such as Pisa, San Gimignano, Lucca, and Florence are approximately an hour’s drive away, with Pisa International Airport and the sea conveniently located less than 30 minutes by car. The well-known seaside location of Forte dei Marmi is also less than an hour away. The birthplace of tenor Andrea Bocelli is about 20 km from the villa, in the town of Lajatico.

Villa Rey, covering 1,000 sqm with 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, is named after Macchiaioli painter Augusto Rey (1837 – 1898), its initial owner. This villa, built and adorned in 1895, sits overlooking a valley filled with meadows, olive trees, vineyards, woods, and small lakes, extending towards the sea. The ground floor boasts an impressive double entrance leading to a dining room, library, opulently decorated kitchen, and two spacious halls, with a standout being the large frescoed reception hall. The first floor features a monumental gallery leading to six expansive rooms, including living rooms, a dressing room, and three exquisitely decorated bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, complemented by a panoramic terrace. The second-floor houses four additional large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, a grand gallery, and Augusto Rey’s former studio, now a home cinema. A crenellated turret at the top, ideal for a sitting room or bedroom, has its private terrace. The villa also includes a fitness area, a wellness room with a heated pool, a Finnish sauna, and an external 20×6.5 m swimming pool with a whirlpool corner.

The property features an Italian-style garden with hedges, statues, columns, and a belvedere. An expansive English-style park surrounds the villa, interspersed with ornamental plants, terraces, avenues, and walkways. The garden also houses a removable glass and steel orangery for events and receptions.
A small vineyard (about 2.5 ha) that was on the property and is visible in the Catasto Leopoldino of 1825 is being restored. The meadow and arable areas (7.1 ha) could be used to plant a small vineyard ( very suitable land) or expand the olive grove.

Nearby is a small apartment (50 sqm), suitable as guest accommodation or a caretaker’s house, and a private garage with storage.

South of Villa Rey is Villa Santernetti (1,500 sqm, up to 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms), a grand 18th-century estate requiring renovation, offering freedom for customisation as a guest accommodation facility.

To the north lies Villa Torre Alta (1,500 sqm, up to 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms), a 16th-century stately home adorned with frescoes, requiring modernisation but with potential as a private residence or elegant B&B.

The surrounding 26.6 hectares include woods, a large olive grove, and the potential for a vineyard, encapsulating the authentic spirit of historic Tuscany. The picturesque hills, dotted with 19th-century villas and medieval towns amidst vineyards and olive groves, reflect the region’s deep-rooted artistic heritage, making these villas and estate in Tuscany a truly prestigious property.
