Michelangelo's Tuscan Villa

Located just outside Florence, Michelangelo's Tuscan Villa gives you the rare chance to own the former home of a Renaissance master. Originally built as a fort, the property was in the painter's family from the time he purchased it in 1549 until 1867, was recently restored with an eye on historical accuracy, and includes the original documents and deed. There are eight bedrooms and seven baths in the main house, two additional bedrooms in the separate guest house, and an outbuilding that could serve as additional storage or an office/getaway. And while there's no original artwork on the property (that we know of), there is an oil mill and 200 olive trees, enough to supply your family and guests with olive oil without needing to visit the market.
