Market Opportunity

The La Corbina Estate | Gaiole In Chianti, Tuscany

“My sister, Susie Muise Haws, and her husband, Dr. John Coats, spent years painstakingly bringing La Corbina back to life. As Susie and John prepare to transition back to their primary residence in Sun Valley, Idaho, I have stepped in personally to represent them in marketing this family legacy. Because my California network consists of sophisticated apartment owners who appreciate turn-key, legacy assets, I am presenting La Corbina directly to you. This is not a public listing; it is an intimate family transition managed with full California legal escrow protections, overseen by our independent Italian transaction counsel, Avv. Federica Barone Bombagli of BBLEX S.r.l. in Siena.”

The Family Connection
& The Peer Advantages

The La Corbina Estate | Gaiole In Chianti, Tuscany

As multifamily owners and operators here in West Hollywood and Greater Los Angeles, we understand real estate through a highly specific lens—one of legal precision, strict operational safeguards, and long-term capital preservation.

Note from Susie Muise

(Co-Owner & Artist)

“When John and I first climbed this Gaiole hilltop, the 360-degree panorama of cypress-studded ridges and winding vineyards captured my soul. I knew this historic 18th-century stone farmhouse had to become my canvas.

In our kitchen, I wanted to dissolve the stone boundaries entirely. I hand-painted a mural that replicates our outdoor landscape in perfect scale—capturing our organic grove of 250 olive trees, the sweeping vineyard above the kitchen doors, and our sapphire pool. It creates an ethereal dining space centered around our custom Calacatta Michelangelo marble island, where John bakes fresh sourdough and premium Gaggenau and Scotsman appliances seamlessly blend with old-world stone.

Looking through our custom iron-and-brass windows at the rolling Chianti hills is where I find my greatest inspiration. Now, as our lives call us back to Idaho, we are ready to pass this sanctuary to its next keeper. I hope this home brings a touch of Tuscan warmth to your family—and perhaps inspires you to cast your own eye across La Corbina’s horizon.”

The Unseen Triumph -
Years of Historical
Modernization

U.S. investors are often rightfully wary of historic European properties. The bureaucratic process of modernizing an 18th-century stone villa in Chianti Classico is notoriously difficult. It took years of complex permits (Nulla Osta), heritage-board approvals, and coordination with elite Milanese architects Studio G+ Architetti to execute this down-to-the-studs historic reconstruction

The owners took up every single historic terracotta floor, updated all underfloor utility systems and plumbing from scratch, and carefully hand-replaced the original tiles. The result is a 100% turnkey home offering “American-Standard” operational comfort hidden behind centuries of rustic charm:

Two Separate Homes -
Uncompromised California Comfort

La Corbina Features Two Distinct Buildings Designed For Effortless Multi-Generational Living,
High-End Guest Hosting, Or On-Site Caretaker Staff Management:

The Main Villa (3 Levels):

A magnificent, light-filled farmhouse centered around massive living quarters. It features a sweeping master bedroom suite with a deep walk-in closet, a custom master bath paved in hand-selected marble, and generous guest suites with en-suite baths.

The Detached Guest House (2 Levels):

A fully independent luxury residence of uncompromised scale. It boasts dramatic sloping wooden ceilings, original open-face beams, a full modern chef’s kitchen with a massive central island, and custom bathrooms finished in rare purple Calacatta marble and local Tuscan Pietra Serena stone.

Design Versatility -
From Soft Romance to Rustic Masculine

La Corbina was designed with uncompromised, museum-grade craftsmanship. The structural bones of the estate are heavy, historic, and powerfully masculine: hand-hammered stone walls, centuries-old chestnut beams, solid sandstone staircase treads covered in marble, and custom iron metalwork hand-forged by local Tuscan bronzesmith Alessandro Bernardeschi.

While Susie’s current interior program features a soft, romantic touch—curated with Loro Piana cashmere, Christopher Farr textiles, and backlighted alabaster Possoni Illuminazione chandeliers—the estate’s neutral palette is a blank canvas. By simply swapping out accent wall colors and textiles for deep forest green, charcoal, or rich distressed leather, the interior instantly shifts into a rugged, bold masculine retreat.

The Ground Asset-
Vineyard, Olive Grove
and Staffing

La Corbina sits on approximately 6.5 hectares (approx. 16 acres) of secure, fully fenced grounds. The Estate Is perfectly scaled to provide agricultural romance Without agricultural headaches:

250 Productive Olive Trees:

Sourced to produce your own private-label, cold-pressed Tuscan extra virgin olive oil.

The Private Vineyard & Vegetable Gardens:

A flourishing boutique vineyard producing regional Chianti Classico grapes.

Turn-Key Estate Staffing:

You do not need to be on-site to operate La Corbina. The grounds feature a fully automated digital irrigation system.

Prime Location -
The Tuscan Sunset Blvd to The Beach

La Corbina is situated in a highly privileged, private hilltop position in the heart of Chianti Classico,
surrounded by historic castles and upscale estate neighbors.

To Put Tuscan Geography Into Southern
California Terms:

  • The Drive to Siena: At 33 kilometers away, a trip to the historic city of Siena is a smooth 30-minute drive.
  • The Drive to Florence: At 65 kilometers, driving to the Renaissance capital of Florence is just 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The LA Comparison: This is almost the exact geographic distance as a drive from West Hollywood to Santa Monica. But instead of sitting car-to-car on the gridlocked 10 freeway, your commute is a winding, peaceful, and visually stunning journey through sun-drenched vine ridges, cypress-lined horizons, and medieval villages. It is the ultimate escape—offering absolute silence and privacy, yet positioned just 10 minutes from local shops and fine dining.
