Description

A renovated 18th-century mill, 299 square metres spread over four levels, with a saltwater swimming pool, a loggia and 5.6 hectares in the Chianti Classico region — Castellina in Chianti REF. CNT373 There is a sound you never forget. The sound of the stream flowing near Casale Il Torrente is not mere background noise — it is the soundtrack to a property that has made its historical origins its most authentic selling point. An ancient 18th-century mill, skilfully restored in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, transformed into a high-end residence where every stylistic choice bears the hallmarks of a conservative restoration carried out with rigour and taste. The 299 square metres are spread over four levels, each with its own distinct character. The main floor is dominated by a large period fireplace — the visual and thermal centrepiece of the entire house — around which the living room and two double suites with en-suite bathrooms are arranged, designed to ensure maximum comfort and complete privacy. From this level, a spectacular loggia — also accessible from outside via a staircase that becomes an architectural feature in its own right — transforms into an open-air lounge overlooking the greenery: the ideal spot for listening to the stream on summer evenings. On the upper floor, a fully equipped kitchen and dining room open onto the outdoor spaces, offering the perfect setting for entertaining guests. The attic tower, on the top floor, is a study of absolute tranquillity where time seems to slow down. At ground level, with a separate entrance from the rest of the property, two rooms, two bathrooms and a cellar open up a range of possibilities: a private guest house, a spa, a fitness area or workspaces — the layout is designed to adapt seamlessly to the needs of an international clientele. The 5.6-hectare private garden surrounds the residence and leads to a saltwater swimming pool that blends seamlessly into the landscape. The high-end hospitality business — already up and running and well-established — offers the buyer the opportunity to benefit immediately from a real income stream, as well as to enjoy a prestigious private residence in one of the world’s most iconic destinations.
