Historic Medicean Villa for Sale South of Florence, Tuscany

This exceptional Italy real estate offering presents a rare 15th-century listed Medicean villa with vineyard, olive groves, parkland, and a complete rural hamlet. Located in Reggello, just south of Florence, the estate combines aristocratic history with substantial agricultural and hospitality potential, making it one of the most significant Italy villas for sale currently available.

Overview of the Estate

• Location: Reggello, Province of Florence, Tuscany

• Type: Medicean-era historic villa with hamlet and country resort

• Main villa size: Approx. 1,590 sq m / 17,114 sq ft

• Farm buildings & apartments: Approx. 1,252 sq m / 13,476 sq ft

• Additional structures: Approx. 1,260 sq m / 13,563 sq ft

• Total land: 113 ha / 279 acres

This landmark property for sale in Italy rises over three principal floors and is crowned by two iconic dovecote towers, with panoramic views across vineyards and the rolling Chianti hills.

Architectural & Historical Significance

Originally built as a hunting lodge for a noble Florentine family, the villa later passed into the hands of a branch of the De’ Medici family. The Medicean six-ball crests and twin towers added in the 17th century underline its aristocratic heritage.

Key architectural highlights include:

• Three-arched ground-floor loggia

• Grand reception halls and formal salons

• Panoramic terrace overlooking vineyards and countryside

• Original timber-beamed ceilings

• Historic orciaia and vaulted brick cellars

• Atmospheric dovecote towers with studios and bedrooms

This is a rare example of an Italy luxury villa of genuine cultural and architectural importance.

The main villa requires renovation, offering the opportunity to restore one of Tuscany’s most distinguished Italy private villas to its full grandeur.

Hamlet, Farm Buildings & Country Resort

By the late 18th century, the estate expanded to include elegant Leopoldine-style farm buildings forming a complete rural hamlet.

Hamlet Highlights

• 15 self-contained apartments in good condition

• Ideal for country resort or hospitality use

• Guardian’s house with garage and storage

Additional Structures

• Historic oil mill

• Warehouses and deposits

• Cellars and farm-use spaces

This configuration makes the estate particularly well-suited as an Italy investment property for sale, combining luxury heritage with income-generating potential.

Land, Vineyard & Olive Groves

The 113-hectare estate stretches across a diverse and productive landscape:

• 12 ha olive grove with approx. 3,000 trees

  • Traditional varieties: Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio

• 7 ha Chianti DOCG vineyard

  • 2.7 ha in production (Sangiovese)

  • 4.7 ha to be replanted

  • Potential to expand vineyard by approx. 1 ha annually

• 25.8 ha pasture land

• 6 ha arable land

• Remaining woodland and natural landscape

Few Italy properties offer this scale of land combined with viticultural prestige so close to Florence.

Lifestyle & Investment Potential

This estate is ideal for:

• A prestigious private residence

• A luxury countryside resort or wine estate

• A high-end agritourism or hospitality project

• Long-term capital appreciation in Tuscany

While not coastal, the scale and prestige rival the most sought-after luxury villas for sale in Italy, appealing to buyers seeking privacy, heritage, and agricultural value.

Why This Property Stands Out

• Medicean architectural heritage

• Complete historic hamlet

• Chianti DOCG vineyard and olive groves

• Over 113 hectares of private land

• Strategic location south of Florence

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a true landmark of Italy luxury villas and one of the most important rural estates in Tuscany.
