In the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the sun paints golden hues across the vineyards and the scent of olive groves carries on the breeze, lies one of Italy’s most magnificent heritage estates.
Nestled in the prestigious wine region of Castellina in Chianti, just 25 kilometers north of Siena, Le Capraie Mansion is a rare opportunity to own a piece of noble Tuscan history — and a thriving wine estate — all set across 395 acres of picturesque countryside.
Dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, Le Capraie Mansion proudly presides over its vast estate from 450 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking panoramic views over classic Chianti landscapes. The approach is cinematic: a cypress-lined driveway leads to an elegant Italianate park, where travertine colonnades, sculpted balustrades, and cascading fountains surround a spectacular swimming pool. This scene is beautifully crowned by the grand, Vanvitellian-style villa — a masterpiece of symmetry, stonework, and Renaissance detailing.
The façade is adorned with arched windows and a central tower, and the villa’s architectural presence is matched only by its sumptuous interiors. Inside, soaring ceilings, antique furnishings, and light-filled living spaces evoke centuries of refined Tuscan living. Highlights include an impressive reception hall with an original wrought iron staircase, two dining halls (one with a 6-meter ceiling and vaulted trusses), a study with a private library, a snooker room, and eight elegant ensuite bedrooms.
Beyond the villa, Le Capraie is a fully operational and prestigious wine estate. Over 110,000 bottles of Chianti Classico Gallo Nero DOCG wine are produced annually from its 19.4 hectares of certified organic vineyards. An enchanting 14th-century hamlet serves as the hub of the estate’s winemaking operation, housing oak-lined cellars, tasting rooms, retail space, an olive oil mill, and farm offices.
The estate also includes 21 hectares of olive groves with over 5,500 trees, yielding high-quality organic oil. A private lake, 105 hectares of forest, and fertile arable lands support a self-sustaining agricultural legacy rooted in centuries of Tuscan tradition.
Complementing the historic main residence is a 15th-century collection of traditional stone farmhouses, now beautifully converted into 11 rustic-chic holiday apartments and an independent family villa — offering a total of 24 bedrooms and access to a second panoramic swimming pool.
Among the manicured grounds stands a private consecrated chapel, with Roman numerals and ancestral names etched in stone. It remains a place of quiet reverence, still hosting intimate Catholic ceremonies.
This exceptional estate is ideally positioned just 7 kilometers (a 10-minute drive, all paved roads) from the charming town of Castellina in Chianti, offering shops, cafés, and daily conveniences. With Florence to the north and Siena just minutes away, Le Capraie sits at the cultural and viticultural crossroads of Tuscany, perfectly suited for private enjoyment, boutique hospitality, or as a cornerstone asset in a global real estate portfolio.
Le Capraie Mansion is more than a home. It’s a legacy property — where history, luxury, and land come together in timeless harmony.
