The portion of former private woodshed is part of a 15th-century original building (circa 1400), transformed into a residence in 2016. The property, protected under Legislative Decree 42/2004 as a historical-architectural asset, belongs to a condominium of two equal share units. The total gross area is 525 sqm spread over three levels (215 sqm basement, 210 sqm ground floor, 100 sqm first floor), with a communal garden of 760 sqm and a private garden of 260 sqm. Additionally, it offers 5 parking spaces, a shared parking area of 361 sqm, and a communal land of 3.4 hectares with approximately 450 olive trees. The systems are autonomous and modern: Heat pump, underfloor radiant heating, fan coil climate control, and home automation.
The villa's history is ancient: Belonging to the Amidei, it passed in 1470 to Agnolo Tovaglia, a merchant who commissioned architect Lorenzo da Monteaguto to construct the villa, also known for the notable drawings by Leonardo da Vinci for Francesco Gonzaga. Over the centuries, it underwent various transformations: In 1719, it was modified with a scenic façade facing Florence; in the 19th century, under the Morrocchi, the large Italian garden, the lemon house, and the woodshed expansion were created.
The recent restoration of the woodshed, curated by architects, involved a complex structural consolidation (excavations, new foundations, metallic reinforcements) and the reinterpretation of space with lofts and light distributions. The intervention merges historical authenticity with a contemporary language: Exposed wood, lime plaster, and restored frames coexist with iron, glass, and minimalist furnishings. Large arched windows frame the garden and the Tuscan landscape, creating a refined residence blending memory and innovation.
The Villa is associated with a long-standing cult for its miraculous spring, considered capable of healings and still existing on the property's land.
