"La Limonaia" Gothic Windows Overlooking a Private Park

Just an hour south of Florence and two hours north of Rome, la Limonaia is located in the heart of Tuscany. Only three kilometers from the medieval hilltop town of Castiglion Fiorentino and its commuter rail station, shops and services, la Limonaia is part of a large estate that once belonged to one of the most renowned baronial families in the region. The family’s documented history stretches back over one thousand years, and the property on which the Limonaia was built has been part of the family’s estate since the 1400s. A three-bedroom, two bath single family home with a landscaped entrance and ample private parking in its own splendid setting of formal gardens, olive orchards, woods, and fields surrounded by stone walls, la Limonaia offers a unique combination of sophistication and relaxed classic Tuscan lifestyle. Highlighting its noble origins, the building, which dates from 1850 and was meticulously restored and updated in 1993, is graced with columns, gothic windows and a working fountain. The centerpiece of a formal garden enclosed by stone walls and wrought iron gates, la Limonaia offers a relaxed and romantic ambiance with its own 600+ meter jogging / contemplation trail, and secluded “martini bar” stone terrace in a sunny spot below the woods. La Limonaia offers an elegantly furnished living room with cathedral ceilings, fireplace, and a view of private gardens through its double paned glass doors, as well as a second patio entrance adjacent to the dining area. In addition, there are beautiful terracotta and parquet floors. Upstairs, where four gothic windows look out over gardens and woods, is an intimate guest room. A tastefully designed bathroom with shower adds convenience to this area, which connects with a wrap-around inner balcony and study. The property and its four hectares of gardens, woods, olive groves and fields may be purchased separately or together with part or all of the adjoining villa.
