In the Tuscan countryside, not far from the medieval town of Castiglion Fiorentino, this 18th-century villa has been finely restored and offers 287 sqm of living space with three rooms. The presence of a ruined farmhouse to be restored allows to expand the living area and to create additional rooms to start a receptive activity. The property is completed by 8 hectares of land with olive grove and small vineyard.
Easily accessible and equipped with all necessary services from the nearby center of Castiglion Fiorentino (6km; 10'), the villa is perfect for the start-up of a B&B also thanks to its proximity to the most popular and appreciated centers of Tuscany and Umbria (Cortona, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Siena, Florence...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The villa (287 sqm – 3,088 sqft) is structured on two floors organized as follows:
- Ground floor: large living room, bathroom, storage room and cellar;
- Second floor: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and master bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
The villa, dating back to the late 18th century, has been finely restored preserving unaltered the typical features of country buildings. Thus we find original terracotta floors, wooden beams with terracotta tiles on the ceilings, parquet floors, masonry arches and stone fireplaces.
Completing the property are two garages (38 sqm – 409 sqft), a small private office (48 sqm – 516 sqft), two sheds (124 sqm – 1,334 sqft) and a ruined farmhouse (76 sqm – 818 sqft) that could be used to increase the habitable area of the property. A shed, currently in use as a tractor shed, can be converted into residential space.
An outdoor spa, overlooking the valley, includes a sauna, a Jacuzzi and showers.
EXTERIOR
The property covers about 8 hectares (19.7 acres) of land, partially covered by a manicured flower garden all around the buildings (3,800 sqm). The remaining area is devoted to olive grove (550 olive trees that also includes some rows of vines) and mixed woodland (3.1 ha). Also very suggestive is the stream running through the property, creating waterfalls and ponds.
The presence of agricultural land and several rural outbuildings is also conducive to starting a small farming business for the production of oil.
