San Miniato, Pisa, Italy

Description

This captivating hamlet spans various historical epochs, nestled amidst the greenery of olive groves and vineyards, in a splendid crossroads location to reach all points of interest quickly. The hamlet comprises five distinctive structures: The main villa, approximately 500 sqm, was newly constructed between 2010 and 2012, presenting itself as a renovation only in the external walls. Everything else, from the foundations to the interior, has been entirely reconstructed. Characterized by authentic Tuscan style, seismic-resistant reinforced concrete structure, double-insulated walls, and state-of-the-art facilities, this villa offers six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, two lounges, a spacious kitchen, service rooms including a laundry, and a large garage. A vast terrace completes the building, and an annex to the garage can be adapted for various purposes such as a breakfast room, company shop, or fitness room. The second unit, approximately 600 sqm, underwent partial renovation in 2010 with new fixtures and wood heating. The ground floor is currently used for company services, while the first floor includes three apartments with a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms. An appropriate renovation project could transform this structure into a charming B&B with up to twelve rooms or six apartments for agritourism. The third unit, about 200 sqm, was a historical building originally designated for dry storage. A pre-existing project could foresee the creation of two apartments or six B&B rooms. The fourth structure is represented by a splendid rural building of 100 sqm, ideal for conversion into a restaurant or rooms/apartments. Given its considerable height, an extensive loft can be designed to increase the usable space. Finally, the fifth and last unit, 100 sqm, suitable for transformation into a cellar or storage for agricultural tools. Currently, there is no pool, but the creation of a generously-sized one in front of the barn is a possibility.The entire property is surrounded by approximately 42 hectares of land, partially cultivated and partially wooded. There is the possibility to separate a portion of the land, resulting in a reduction of the price. This property offers a unique opportunity to experience authentic Tuscan charm with modern comforts.

Perched on a hill, the medieval village of San Miniato is immersed in the verdant Tuscan countryside and is still an important crossroad between the cities of Pisa and Florence.
The town’s origin dates back to the Longobards who in 713 AD together with King Frederick II Of Swabia erected a church dedicated to the martyr Miniato.
Still present nowadays is the Rocca di Federico II which dominates the highest point of the San Miniato hill and is the main element that distinguishes and identifies the borgo. From its peak one can enjoy a spectacular 360 degrees view and during sunny days the gaze reaches the sea.
Napoleon also visited the village due to the local origins of the Buonaparte family and it was there that he received a certificate of nobility.
San Miniato has numerous historical monuments all either renovated or reconstructed and which attest to its ancient roots. They include the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Throughout the year there are a number of celebrations and events such as the National White Truffle Market Exhibition of Colline Sanminiatesi, the theater festival and numerous musical performances.
With its important tradition of leather production at Ponte a Egola, San Miniato is also famous for its white truffles, wine and oil.
