Michelangelo's Historic Tuscan Villa Hits The Market For $8.488 Million

Art history buffs, we've found the home for you.

Tucked away in the lush, sprawling countryside of Tuscany sits a picturesque stone villa that master painter Michelangelo once called home.

The famed Florentine artist, best known as the man behind the iconic Sistine Chapel ceiling, took to the Tuscan hills in 1549, the year he purchased the villa, according to the Daily Mail. His family maintained ownership until 1867.

Since then, the breathtaking residence has undergone extensive renovations to return to its former glory. Now that it's back to its peak of beauty, the current owners have decided to part ways with the historic estate, listing the property for $8.488 million.

If you're willing to pay the steep price tag, the home even comes with the original deed naming Michelangelo, "dear sculptor and Florentine citizen," as the original owner.

Aside from its connection to the Renaissance master, there's much to love about the nearly 13,000-sqaure-foot villa. Comprised of three separate buildings - built around a tower reportedly dating back to the 11th century - the estate boasts eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, numerous sitting areas, and impressive architectural details, including both barreled-brick and wood-beamed ceilings.

Sitting on six acres of rolling hills, it is surrounded by Chianti vineyards, and also features both a lemon and olive grove.
