The Oak Palace with Chianti vineyards and olive grove, Siena – Toscana
Dominant and super panoramic, 341 acres estate with very unique period palace, cellar, Chianti vineyards and olive grove for sale in Siena. In a superb and picturesque setting in the Chianti hills, at 420 meters above sea level, a medieval hamlet made up of traditional stone buildings has been preserved over the centuries. At the front side of the hamlet stands the Oak Palace, destroyed several times during the 400-year war between Florence and Siena and owned by illustrious Tuscan aristocratic families, was completely rebuilt and embellished at the end of the nineteenth century. Its architecture is a perfect example of the classic Ghibelline style, marked by mullioned windows, medieval turrets and an endless view over the rolling hills of Chianti and the Val di Chiana. The interiors are perfectly preserved, with frescoed walls and decorated ceilings, finished in marble, travertino stone, wooden boiserie, original central fireplaces and stunning high ceilings, combined with maiolicas and terracotta throughout. The basement houses a rustic vaulted and brick arched cellar while the three above ground living areas boast great halls and a total of 40 rooms to be upgraded to a charming private residence or into a unique holiday retreat. In the garden facing the park the architecture continues into a three story building with a round turret and paved terraces, a former Guardian house with a cellar, perfect as guest cottage and pool house. The Oak Palace estate includes over 341 acres (138 hectares) of private land consisting of forest, olive groves producing a premium Chianti DOP evo oil, and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG vineyards planted with Sangiovese and international vines. Strategically located with dominant views, surrounded by unspoiled nature yet a few minutes’ drive to main connections and amenities, The Oak Palace Estate has a great deal of potential to be developed into a thriving hospitality and events destination.
