Love Italy? Love Art? Well now is your chance to own one the most unique properties in the world, the former home of Italian artist, Michelangelo Buonarroti (March 6, 1475–February 18, 1564).

The estate of roughly 6 acres is surrounded by Chianti vineyards and rolling hills. There are three buildings total on the property, the main house, an ancient tower that is believed to date back to the 11^th century and an old oil mill that now serves as an outbuilding. The property has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms total.
