The 1453 Castle
- €1,900,000
Medieval castle with private church, to be restored in Montalcino, Siena – Tuscany
REF. MON123
In Tuscany, just 11 km from Montalcino (Siena), we offer for sale a medieval castle dating back to the 14th century with private octagonal church and extensive surrounding land.
Surrounded by hills covered with vineyards and oak trees, the castle boasts an enchanting panoramic view of the Crete Senesi and the typical landscape of Montalcino, only 11 km away. An avenue lined with centuries-old cypress trees leads to the imposing structure, characterised by red bricks and a height of 18 metres. The plan presents two distinct blocks, with a central courtyard housing a well, while the cannon openings testify to its defensive function during the wars between Siena and Florence.
After 1453, the castle became the residence of a noble family who enlarged the structure, adding an octagonal chapel. Despite the passage of centuries, many of the original architectural features have remained intact, giving the place a timeless charm. The interior retains brick walls, arches, colonnades and frescoed ceilings, telling the story of a bygone era.
Currently, the complex has been in a state of disrepair for several decades. Although some reinforcement work has been carried out, a complete renovation is needed to bring it back to life, both for residential and accommodation purposes. A project approved by the competent authorities is already available, designed to respect the landscape and architectural characteristics of the site, with particular attention to the choice of materials and decorative details.
This extraordinary historic property in need of renovation offers a total area of 3,900 sqm and represents a unique opportunity to realise:
a luxury residence in Tuscany,
.
an exclusive accommodation facility,
a location for private events and charming weddings.
