16th-century former hunting lodge superbly restored into a prestigious villa with cottage, pool, fitness room, outdoor kitchen, landscaped park, and olive grove for sale in the Crete Senesi, Siena. Mount Amiata and the town of Montalcino are clearly visible, and on bright days, even Siena’s iconic towers can be seen rising from the lunar landscape of the Crete Senesi, among rolling fields and wooded hills. Commissioned in the early 1500s by the noble Chigi family and designed by famed Sienese architect Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi, the villa has recently undergone a meticulous restoration, transforming it into a contemporary countryside estate while respecting its historic architecture. Once built to accommodate carts and farm animals, the large arched openings now host elegant glass panels that flood the interiors with natural light. The heart of the property is the inner courtyard, paved in a radial pattern inspired by Siena’s Piazza del Campo, seamlessly connecting the main residence with the outdoor living areas. Arched porticoes, brick columns, and original stone fireplaces create an evocative yet welcoming atmosphere. The custom-crafted kitchen and butler’s pantry enhance the space, featuring a Lacanche stove, microwave, American fridge, extra refrigerator, two dishwashers, and countless appliances—a dream setup for passionate cooks. A large chestnut dining table seats 14 guests for formal meals. The upper floor hosts five en suite master bedrooms, adorned with fine fabrics and natural stone bathrooms. A spacious entertainment room with majestic arched windows includes a lounge/media area with fireplace, a bar with travertine and walnut counter, and a handmade full-size billiard table. Outside, stone steps lead to the travertine-paved infinity pool overlooking the Crete Senesi hills. A nearby pergola shelters a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, barbecue, stove, fridge, dishwasher, and ice maker. A separate guest cottage offers a cozy suite with fireplace and bathroom. The estate also includes a Technogym® fitness center with stunning views, a bocce court, vegetable garden, and 80 olive trees producing premium EVO oil. A well and artificial pond supply water, while a helipad ensures easy access. A prestigious property, ideal as a private residence or luxury retreat for international guests.PROPERTY Ref: SIE2623Location: Crete Senesi, Province: Siena, Region: TuscanyType: 500 sq m/ 4381 sq ft two-story 16th-century former hunting lodge villa with cottage, annexes, pool, landscaped garden, orchard and olive groveAnnexes: single-level building of 160 sq m/ 1722 sq ft with living room and stone fireplace, billiard area with bar, toilet; a 60 sq m/ 645 cottage with porch, master bedroom with fireplace and bathroom; a building for fitness center with state-of-the-art Technogym equipmentLand/Garden: 2.5 ha consisting of Italian garden, barbecue area and outdoor kitchen, 0.3 ha olive grove with 80 treesTerrace/Balcony: 140 sq m/1506 sq ft paved courtyard and panoramic terrace near the poolSwimming pool: 14x7m with travertine stone staircase, automatic cover, technical room and bathroomUtilities:Fixed telephone network: availableInternet: availableHeating: LPG radiant floor heating systemWater: private well and artificial lakeElectricity: availableAir conditioningOutdoor kitchenHeliportDistance to services: 6 kmDistance to main airports: Florence 110 km, Pisa 140 km, Rome 240 kmGravel road: 350 meters and tree-lined avenueLayout:Ground Floor: living room with fireplace, open living area with dining and kitchen, study, wine cellar, 1 bedroom, bathroomFirst Floor: 5 bedrooms with en suite bathroom
