Within a medieval rural hamlet, stone house with two cottages, basement rustic cellar, garden, for sale near Colle Val d’Elsa and San Gimignano. Reached by a picturesque avenue of cypress trees, this enchanting property lies within a small medieval hamlet in the rolling Sienese countryside, beautifully positioned between Siena and Florence, where olive groves and woodland frame the landscape in timeless Tuscan harmony. The borgo dates back to the 10th century and still retains the castle and a small church. Tucked into a peaceful corner at the edge of the borgo, we present an exceptional property for sale extending to approximately 330 sq m/3,552 sq ft over three stone buildings full of character within a private garden. At its heart stands a meticulously three-story restored stone barn, dating back to 1217, offering 143 sq m/1,539 sq ft paired with a remarkable 90 sq m/969 sq ft basement cellar carved into tuff and stone. The restoration, completed in 2000, preserves the soul of the building through traditional materials: chestnut beams, terracotta floors and brick arches, discreetly integrating modern comforts as air conditioning. The ground floor opens from a terracotta-paved terrace into a generous open-plan living space, where a central brick arch subtly defines the kitchen and sitting areas with a fireplace. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the accommodation. The windows and doors are made of solid wood and feature double glazing, mosquito nets and wrought-iron security fittings. Below, with access from the garden, the ancient cellar evokes the agricultural heritage of the estate. Hewn from tuff, it still houses original features including the millstone once turned by donkeys and historic equipment used in olive oil and wine production. Next to cellar entrance, a former stone barn, measuring 60 sq m/646 sq ft, has been restored into a cottage with two versatile living spaces, ideal for guests. The third building, a 38 sq m/409 sq ft barn, remains to be reimagined and offers excellent potential as a studio, atelier or additional guest area. The atmosphere is one of understated elegance and authenticity, where the rhythm of rural life continues much as it has for centuries. Yet essential services are within easy reach, ensuring both convenience and seclusion. Essential amenities are close at hand, in a strategic location between San Gimignano and Colle Val d’Elsa, just a few minutes’ drive away, on the ancient road to Volterra.PROPERTY Ref: CNT3585Location: Borgo Montegabbro, Municipality: Colle Val d’Elsa, Province: Siena, Region: TuscanyType: within a historic rural hamlet, property of approx. 330 sq m/3,552 sq ft consisting of 3 stone buildings and garden: a renovated former stone barn of 143 sq m/1,539 sq ft over three levels, a characteristic basement cellar of an additional 90 sq m/969 sq ft, 1 restored former barn of 60 sq m/646 sq ft on one level, and 1 storage barn of 38 sq m/409 sq ftYear of construction: 1217Year of restoration: 2000Conditions: goodGarden: 500 sq m/5382 sq ftTerrace/Balcony: 10 sqmSwimming pool: possibility to build itParking/Garage: 2 outdoor parking spacesUtilities: Fixed telephone network: availableInternet: availableHeating: split-system air conditioning (hot/cold) , 1 fireplace, 1 wood-burning stoveWater: mains city supplyElectricity: availableWater waste: Imhoff tankSolid wood window frames equipped with double glass, mosquito nets and wrought iron gratingsLayout: Former Barn – 143 sq m/1,539 sq ft + 90 sq m/969 sq ft cellar:Basement level: entrance area, cellar in tuff stone and masonryGround Floor: entrance from a terracotta-paved terrace, open-plan living area with kitchen, central brick arch, lounge with fireplace and garden-facing glass doors, 1 bathroom, storage roomFirst Floor: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroomAnnex 1 – 38 sq m/409 sq ft: single room with 2 front doors and 1 side door; to be renovated, with potential for a studio, workshop, or guest living areaAnnex 2 – 60 sq m/646 sq ft: former barn restored with a portico and 2 rooms with living areas
