Castle for sale in Montalcino with 10 bedrooms – ID 1950992

With extraordinary views, 14th century castle with annexes, private church, to be restored with approved project, for sale near Montalcino. A medieval jewel of approximately 3900 square meters with incredible potential to become an elegant private residence, a luxury retreat for tourist hospitality or a unique venue for unforgettable events. Immersed among hills of vineyards, oaks, holm oaks and thick scrub, the castle offers a dominant position with enchanting views of the Crete Senesi and the characteristic landscapes of the lands of Montalcino, which is just 11 km away. An avenue flanked by two very dense rows of centuries-old cypresses leads to the heart of the castle, an imposing brick structure from the 1300s which reaches a height of 18 meters and is composed of two separate blocks with a scarp base and other bodies which develop around a central rectangular courtyard with a well. The gun openings on the top floor confirm its military nature as a defensive outpost during the long wars between Siena and Florence. After 1453 it became the country residence of a noble family of Counts who further expanded the structure by also building a lovely family chapel with an octagonal plan. Despite seven centuries of history, many of the architectural features, and above all the charm and charm of their era, have been perfectly preserved. The interiors preserve the brick walls, the arches, the colonnades, the ceilings, vaulted or embellished with seventeenth-century frescoes. The entire complex has been in a state of abandonment for decades now, and although some reinforcements have been made in the walls and attics, a complete renovation is necessary for recovery for residential and/or hospitality purposes. A project approved by the competent authorities is already available in full respect of the landscape and architectural characteristics aimed at safeguarding centuries of history, with care in the choice of materials and the study of decorative details.
