Inside a medieval village, stone house with two outbuildings, rustic cellar and garden, for sale near San Gimignano. A picturesque avenue of cypress trees, leads to this enchanting medieval village in the gentle Sienese countryside, in a splendid position between Siena and Florence, where olive groves and woods frame the landscape in a timeless Tuscan harmony. The village dates back to the tenth century and preserves the castle and a small church from the 1200s. On the edge of the village, we offer for sale a property of about 243 square meters with three stone buildings within a private garden. In the center there is a meticulously restored barn, dating back to 1900, which offers 115 square meters distributed on two levels, accompanied by a cellar of 70 square meters carved into the tuff and stone. The restoration, completed with sensitivity in 2000, preserves the chestnut beams, terracotta floors and brick arches, integrated with modern comforts such as air conditioning. The ground floor opens from a terracotta paved terrace onto an open-plan living room, where a central brick arch subtly defines the kitchen and lounge area with fireplace. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The fixtures are in solid wood equipped with double glazing, mosquito nets and wrought iron security. On the lower floor, with access from the garden, the ancient cellar, dug into the tuff, still retains original elements, including the millstone once pushed by donkeys and the historical equipment used in the production of olive oil and wine. Next to the entrance to the winery, a former stone barn, of 32 square meters, has been restored with two rooms, ideal for guests. The third building, a 16-square-meter hut, remains to be rethought and offers excellent potential as a studio, atelier or guest area. Essential services at your fingertips, strategically located between San Gimignano and Colle Val d'Elsa, just a few minutes away, on the ancient road to Volterra.
