Very stylish lifestyle business producing delicious wines with beautifully restored and comfortable accommodation just a stone's throw from Greve in Chianti. This perfectly positioned farm has the incredible advantage of having 50% of its wines being directly sold at excellent retail prices to the passing touristic trade.
The current owners, with a keen eye and great care, have taken a lot of effort and time to transform this property into a very viable and lovely farm for business and private use. From the main road the Farm is accessed up a short, cypress lined white road amongst the vineyards. On arrival, below the winery, is a good amount of parking area for numerous cars with only a few steps up through nicely planted gardens to the fabulous south and west facing tasting terraces, running along the length of the buildings giving great views over the surrounding Chianti hills.
The Farmhouse and annexes are evenly split between the working winery on the ground floor and the private residential area on the upper floor. Whilst both these levels of the property are well connected by two staircases, they enjoy good privacy from each other.
The public winery, housed on the ground floor consists of several rooms dedicated to the tasting and selling of produce and an office, whilst other areas are organised for the wine making, and storage. There is a newly restored, separate annexe, with air-conditioning, fans and a guest w.c. to be used for more wine tastings.
The upper floor, private and residential, can be accessed either from within the winery, up two different staircases or by two external doors from the upper garden. This residential level is also split into two areas, the more entertaining side, with a great open-plan family kitchen, dining area, and sitting room with large fireplace, with just three steps down to another connected lower sitting room with a wood burning stove.
Access to the other side of the house is through a well-designed utility and laundry room and up a wooden staircase, leading one to another fabulous sitting room-come-hall which is large enough to house a big snooker table and traditional fireplace with stone hearth. From this lovely entertaining room one can access all the 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the second staircase down to the winery and the other exit to the upper garden.
