Prestigious Castle in the Heart of Mugello

Description

The complex is located in the municipality of Barberino di Mugello, 3 km from the Barberino exit of the A1 motorway, just 30 km from Florence and 70 km from Bologna. This area is expanding rapidly, thanks to the proximity of Lake Bilancino, the Barberino Outlet, a racetrack in Scarperia, and the Poggio de' Medici golf course.
The property covers 60 hectares and includes:
- A castle or historic villa with a courtyard.
- An adjacent farmhouse.
- A building called the Limonaia.
- A beautiful Italian-style park.
- A village with several houses.
- Other smaller rural houses, including Il Sodere and Il Vignolino.
- A natural lake and a pine forest.
The castle is perfect for events such as weddings or corporate parties and has already been used for these purposes. Two Bed & Breakfasts within the property are already operational and managed by specialized companies.
There is huge potential to further develop the area, especially with the creation of a cooking and sommelier school in the spacious vaulted cellars of the castle. These spaces, with their rustic charm, could be transformed into an ideal environment for practical courses and tastings. The complex also offers the opportunity to create a restaurant and guest accommodation in the farmhouse, while the Limonaia, currently unused, could become a breakfast room or a second restaurant.
Furthermore, there is the possibility of creating 27 tourist apartments in the former village and stables, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the nature of Mugello, visit historic sites such as Florence, and participate in various sports activities such as hiking, horse riding, and sailing.
