In the enchanting Tuscan countryside of Casole d'Elsa, about 30km west of the city of Siena, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests of oaks and chestnut trees, stands a small medieval village that exudes a thousand-year history and tells, through its ancient walls, the life of those who have lived these fairytale places over the centuries.Although the toponym of the place refers to Etruscan origins, the first evidence dates back to the year 994 when the entire village was donated by a local nobleman to his wife on the occasion of their marriage.The proximity to Siena determined in the past its configuration as a castle to be part of that band of bulwarks that wind along the entire side of the Montagnola in defense of the Sienese state.The history of these places advances over the centuries up to the most recent period, when during the Second World War the local farmers hid a Jewish family from Nazi persecution, falsifying their documents. In 2019, the same factors were recognized by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as Righteous Among the Nations.CENTURY 21 Skyline is proud and honored to be able to offer the sale of this extraordinary and unique property.The complex consists of 14 buildings including the two towers, the main palace and the church dedicated to St. Peter with its rectory. All the buildings are characterized by the typical mixed stone masonry.Although some buildings have been abandoned for longer, some were inhabited until a few decades ago, so the restoration in order to make the village usable again is less complex on some structures than others.The total area of the buildings is about 6139sqm and the property extends over 50 hectares of surrounding land consisting of dense woods with centuries-old plants of mixed variety, arable fields, olive groves and orchards.Despite its more recent rural destination, this property lends itself perfectly to being transformed into a refined residential or accommodation environment in the name of wellness surrounded by nature, characterized by its authenticity and history.The area of Casole d'Elsa, a delightful town that is just a few kilometers from the property, is also internationally known for its recent high-end tourist development, linked to the numerous resources that this area offers thanks to its incredible historical heritage and its wide biodiversity.The data and information contained in this announcement are for information purposes only and do not constitute an element, constraint or contractual assumption.---In the enchanting Tuscan countryside of Casole d'Elsa, about 30 km west of Siena, nestled among gentle hills and dense oak and chestnut forests, lies a small medieval hamlet steeped in a thousand years of history. Its ancient walls tell the stories of those who once lived in this fairytale setting over the centuries. Although the name of the place recalls Etruscan origins, the earliest written record dates back to the year 994, when the entire hamlet was gifted by a local nobleman to his wife as part of their marriage union. Its proximity to Siena shaped its past as a fortified castle, forming part of the defensive line of strongholds that stretched along the Montagnola hills to protect the Sienese state. The history of this hamlet continued through the centuries, reaching into more recent times during World War II, when local farmers hid a Jewish family from Nazi persecution by falsifying their documents. In 2019, these farmers were honored by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as Righteous Among the Nations.

Ses anciens remparts racontent la vie de ceux qui ont habité ces lieux enchanteurs au fil des siècles.Bien que le toponyme du site évoque des origines étrusques, les premières traces écrites remontent à l'an 994, lorsque le village fut offert par un noble local à son épouse en cadeau de mariage.La proximité avec Sienne a marqué son rôle historique de château fortifié, intégré dans cette ligne de bastions qui s'étendait le long du versant de la Montagnola afin de défendre l'État siennois.L'histoire de ce lieu se poursuit au fil des siècles, jusqu'à des temps plus récentes. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des fermiers locaux cachèrent une famille juive pour la soustraire aux persécutions nazies, en falsifiant leurs papiers.
