Luxury Villa for Sale in Tuscany Max Mlekus

About this home

Just 10 miles from historic Florence, nestled in the hills of Calenzano, this rare estate dates back to 1480 and once belonged to the Ginori family, one of Florence's most historic and noble dynasties. The 14,800 sq ft manor villa is built around a medieval tower, and the original Ginori coat of arms remains beautifully preserved above the fireplace — a striking testament to centuries of Florentine history. The property includes a private chapel, a natural spring grotto, a farmhouse, a large garage convertible into independent living space, and an additional building with development potential — totaling approximately 23,700 sq ft across the estate. Set on 7.4 acres with woodland and a natural spring, plus an olive grove of roughly 15,000 trees generating meaningful income, this is both a private paradise and a working investment. Move-in ready, the villa suits a prestigious private residence or can be transformed into a boutique hotel, event venue, or luxury relais. Room exists to add a panoramic pool and expand with adjoining land. For US buyers, this is a rare opportunity: Tuscany's cost of living is far below major American metros, while quality of life is exceptional. Complete privacy, breathtaking hilltop views, and income-producing olive groves — just minutes from Florence's airport, trains, and world-class culture. A once-in-a-generation property steeped in five centuries of Florentine noble history.
