Tuscany, Florence, Reggello, Italy

Old mill restored to lovely stone farmhouse with barn, nestled in the delightful private garden embellished with endless types of plants and fruit trees in addition to the waterfall and stream that create a fairy-tale atmosphere, in the hills of Reggello, near Florence.
Description
The old mill belonged to a descendant of the navigator Giovanni Da Verrazzano. The three-arch bridge within the property, dating back to Roman times, was the only link between the northern and southern parts of the area, before the 19th-century single-arch bridge further upstream was built. The rooms echo the layout of the old mill and are therefore not exceptionally large. The ground floor houses a living room with 2 living areas and a fireplace, a library on a gallery with a cast-iron balustrade, a dining room, a hallway, a bedroom currently used as a study, a kitchen with adjoining laundry room, an office, a bathroom, and storage room in the crawl space. The second floor houses 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one of which is en suite. In the basement is the technical room with solar panel condensing boiler, autoclave and wine and oil storage cellar. The barn of about 80 m² with original oven is currently used as a garage.
Outdoor Spaces
The property is surrounded by its own land of about 3.2 hectares including an olive grove with about 220 trees, with a production of up to 900 kg of olives depending on the year. Fruit trees are as varied as apples, pears, cherries, black cherries, walnuts, chestnuts, apricots, plums, loquats, figs, grapes, persimmons, strawberries, blackberries, and mushrooms. The forest of about 0.3 ha with oak, walnut, maple, mulberry, locust, alder, elder, chestnut, strawberry tree, maple, willow.

Condition and finishes
All exterior stone or concrete walls have been rebuilt from scratch. The property is completely self-sufficient due to its two springs. Heating is underfloor with a state-of-the-art gas boiler. Given the thickness of the walls, the house is cool inside in summer and does not require air conditioning. Solar panels allow hot water production without boiler intervention and complete the heating system. The 3 kW photovoltaic panels can reduce electricity consumption by about 70%.
