Description:
This newly restored farmhouse is situated at an elevated valley position with widespread views of the Valdichiana countryside. A white road of about 100m leads to the private entrance gate and onto the tree lined driveway of the property. The immediate impact of the 205 sqm house is in its wonderful arched portico. Looking onto the swimming pool and with the medieval hillside town of Cortona in the background, this portico doubles as an outdoor eating terrace and summer lounging area.
The main door leads into the entrance hall, sitting room, lovely rustic kitchen, study, bedroom and bathroom. A set of stairs lead to the first floor which holds three other bedrooms and another large bathroom. The present owner took great pride in the restoration of the farmhouse. In fact, it is not difficult to appreciate the high standards in materials and craftsmanship throughout the house. With exposed beams, handmade original floor and ceiling tiles, antique brick work and beautifully arched pergola, the house conserves the rustic and traditional feel of the typical Tuscan farmhouse whilst maintaining all of the important and essential services like central heating, electrics, well water and sceptic system.
With about 4.5 hectares of land surrounding the property, privacy is ensured whilst allowing ample room for the swimming pool and possibly even a tennis court if one wishes. The position of the property is also of significant importance. Close to the medieval hillside town of Cortona, all of the basic amenities are close by as well as cafes, restaurants, various shops and many historical sites to visit. In addition, access to other important Italian cities is easy and efficient with the Siena/Perugia Motorway and the A1 autostrada at 10 and 20 minutes away respectively.
A perfect home for those who would like a family holiday retreat and perfect location for those who want a permanent residence. Good value for its size, finish and overall feel!
