Historic Castle With Tower, Guest Cottage, And Art Studio In Chianti

About the Property

A historic medieval palazzo with a tower, dating back to the year 1000, stands majestically within a fortified borgo in Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany. This distinguished residence encompasses 1,269 square meters of living space, set within a sprawling 3 hectares of private parkland. The property features a swimming pool, a guest cottage, and an atelier, all harmoniously integrated into the enchanting landscape of the Chianti Classico hills. The palazzo, constructed from white Alberese stone and finished with galestro, embodies a rich architectural narrative that spans over a millennium. The imposing four-story tower house greets visitors with a grand entrance hall, where rustic terracotta floors and heavy timber-beamed ceilings create a unique aesthetic. The ground floor hosts a kitchen with a traditional stove and a terrace, alongside a self-contained one-bedroom apartment complete with a living area, fireplace, and kitchen. Ascending the stone staircase, the first floor reveals a characterful library featuring custom woodwork by local artisans, complemented by a double living room anchored by a monumental central stone fireplace. The second floor is dedicated to three generous double bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite. The crowning glory remains the tower suite on the third floor, which opens onto a panoramic roof terrace, offering breathtaking views of the timeless Tuscan landscape. The basement has been transformed into a cavernous 190-square-meter atelier, serving as a dramatic gallery that celebrates the property’s legacy of creative pursuit. Beyond the castle walls, the estate unfolds as a living museum, featuring a 182-square-meter guest cottage that provides a sophisticated retreat over two levels, and a former church, now an inspiring hobby space and atelier, retaining its seven-meter-high ceilings and original baptismal fonts. The landscaped parkland is adorned with modern sculptures, leading to an irregular-shaped swimming pool, further enhancing the property’s allure.
