A historic residence with a Tuscan soul in the heart of the village
In the vibrant heart of Tuscany, in San Giovanni alla Vena, we are honored to offer for sale a historic 18th-century residence, a jewel surrounded by a lush English garden of approximately 5,000 square meters. This unique property was commissioned by Carlo Vajani, a native of the village who left to seek his fortune in America and returned wealthy to fulfill his dream: to marry the woman he loved and demonstrate his social redemption. He purchased the three blocks that now make up the palace, transforming them into a stately home, a symbol of a story of ambition and deep affection. The building offers privacy and tranquility comparable to that of the open countryside, despite being in the center of town.
The main building is spread over several floors: on the ground floor, there is a welcoming entrance hall, a living room with a fireplace, a smoking room, and a large kitchen with a pantry and bathroom. The upper floor has three elegant bedrooms and a bathroom, while the second floor has a separate service apartment. The interiors, embellished with original antique furniture, polished antique terracotta floors, and early 20th-century cement tiles, are connected by a spectacular white Carrara marble staircase. The large size of the rooms allows for the easy creation of en-suite bathrooms.
Completing the property is an old oil mill dating back to 1869, with its original millstone, which has been skilfully converted into a comfortable reception hall. Here, the majestic fireplace, the old wine press and the generous dining areas can accommodate up to 36 guests, all supported by a large equipped kitchen and bathrooms.
The residence is listed as a historic building, guaranteeing tax benefits and the possibility of conservative restoration that preserves its authentic charm. An external glass elevator can also be installed for easier access to the floors.
Thanks to its large size and proximity to renowned cities of art, Pisa International Airport, and the sea, this property is also ideal for use as a prestigious accommodation facility.
A unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Tuscan history, where discreet elegance meets profound serenity and a fascinating story.
