VILLA LIBERTY WITH OUTBUILDINGS - San Gimignano (Si)

Located just minutes from the heart of San Gimignano—world-renowned for its extraordinary medieval historic center and towers—this late-19th-century Art Nouveau (Liberty-style) villa sits in a setting of great scenic and historical significance.
The property stands out for the authenticity of its interiors and the presence of numerous original features, skillfully preserved and enhanced during its renovation. In addition to the main villa, the complex includes a fully renovated former farmhouse, cellars, old stables, utility rooms, and a distinctive barn awaiting restoration, fronted by a charming threshing floor paved with original brickwork.
The entire estate is surrounded by approximately 2.2 hectares of land, featuring around 200 olive trees that lend the property the quintessential character of the Tuscan countryside.

The Villa
Spanning approximately 350 square meters, the villa is laid out over two residential floors, plus an attic and a cellar. Built in the late 19th century and renovated in the 1990s, it is currently in excellent condition and retains the charm of its original era.
On the ground floor, a spacious hallway leads to the home's main living areas: the kitchen, dining room, living room, study, and a bathroom. The spaces are large and light-filled, characterized by a pleasant flow between rooms and architectural details that evoke the atmosphere of the original residence.
A striking internal staircase leads to the upper floor, which houses four large double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious hallway, and a covered terrace—an ideal private spot for enjoying the property's tranquility.
The staircase continues up to the attic level; largely accessible and featuring a skylight, this area offers additional utility space and interesting potential uses.

During the renovation, some of the villa's most distinctive features were restored and highlighted, including the old ceiling frescoes and original terracotta floors. The color scheme of the rooms—each featuring a unique hue—also evokes the elegance and traditions of historic Tuscan homes.

The former farmhouse
Separate from the villa yet an integral part of the estate, the former farmhouse (approximately 100 sqm) underwent a complete renovation about twelve years ago.
Access is via a small loggia, which also leads to the cellars, laundry room, and old stables.
The apartment is laid out entirely on the first floor and comprises a living room with a kitchenette, three bedrooms, a small sitting room, and a bathroom.
Its independence from the main villa makes it an attractive option for hosting family and friends or for use as a separate, self-contained unit.

Outbuildings and the hay barn
The property includes approximately 140 sqm of cellars, old stables, and utility rooms, reflecting the complex's original agricultural roots. A particularly striking feature is the hay barn (approximately 160 sqm)—currently in need of full renovation—fronted by a characteristic original brick threshing floor. This building holds significant historical value and offers potential for future restoration that respects the complex's architectural character.

Outdoor areas
The land spans approximately 2.2 hectares, with around 200 olive trees and a landscape that perfectly embodies the character of the Tuscan countryside.
The area surrounding the villa features pathways and outdoor lighting provided by small lamps distributed throughout the garden and the immediate grounds.
There is also a large rainwater collection cistern used for garden irrigation.

The property is connected to the municipal water supply and mains natural gas.

One of the property's most appealing features is its location: the villa is situated just 500 meters from the town of San Gimignano, which is easily accessible on foot.
This is a rare attribute for a property of this kind, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside while maintaining easy access to shops, restaurants, and essential services.
