Hunting Estate with Villa in Tuscany

The Collefertile Estate, a captivating property spanning 430 hectares (900 acres) in the heart of Mugello, stands majestically above Vicchio, the birthplace of the Medici family and the famous painter Giotto. Previously owned by the noble Roti Michelozzi family, the estate was acquired by the Giannotti family in 2018, who restored it to its former glory through two years of meticulous restoration work on the buildings and surrounding land. This exclusive property, immersed in peace and tranquility, is completely private and with the access forbidden to any vehicle, an extremely rare feature in Tuscany. The sounds that permeate the environment are the melodious song of birds, pheasants, and the gentle breeze rustling through the trees. Collefertile Estate is a paradise for hunting enthusiasts, being a private reserve where only the owners and their guests can practice this activity. Pheasants and wild boars are abundant in the area, which can also be enjoyed for wildlife watching. The estate also offers the opportunity to explore the surrounding nature through walking, horseback riding, or mountain biking, admiring breathtaking views in every season of the year. Situated 750 meters above sea level, the Collefertile Estate enjoys a mild climate in both winter and summer, with good chances of encountering pheasants, hares, and deer during excursions. Within the property, there are four enchanting lakes, six natural springs, two productive truffle fields, a sumptuous 980 sqm villa with a swimming pool, and two tennis courts. There is also a 1000 sqm agricultural building that houses two apartments, one for the caretaker couple and the other, consisting of four bedrooms and four bathrooms, available for guests. The estate also boasts a second villa with a swimming pool, featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large living room, and a kitchen. The property includes the right to plant a one-hectare vineyard and a helicopter landing area. Surrounded by 40 hectares of cultivated land and lush forests, the estate offers a perfect balance between nature and comfort. All buildings face south, ensuring excellent sun exposure to maintain the properties in excellent condition. Just 15 minutes away is the village of Vicchio, which offers a variety of restaurants, shops, and shopping centers. In addition, the A1 highway and the airports of Florence and Bologna are easily reachable in less than an hour, making the Collefertile Estate an ideal place for those who want to immerse themselves in the beauty of Tuscany while maintaining convenient connections to major urban centers.
