This stunning rural hamlet is located on top of a hill, in a very panoramic position not far from Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino. The buildings (1,588 sqm), which also include a consecrated church with rectory, offer a total of 14 bedrooms (up to 19) and could be used for a charming boutique hotel. All around, the property covers roughly 4.2 hectares of land that include a panoramic swimming pool and an olive grove (450 trees).
The property is reached via a well-maintained unpaved road and basic services are just 3 km from the estate.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The main country house (848 sqm – 9,124 sqft, 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms) has been recently restored to preserve its rustic features intact and that countryside look that is not easy to find in more modern buildings. The house is laid over three floors:
- Ground floor: kitchens, tavern local, bar local, dining room, two sitting rooms, three bathrooms, bedroom;
- First floor: dining room with fireplace, two living rooms, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and wardrobe;
- Second floor: dining room, living room, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and wardrobe.
The rectory (426 sqm – 4,584 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is distributed into three floors and it is fitted with an air conditioning system working both for winter and summer.
- Ground floor: five rooms in builder's finish that could be converted into further bedrooms and storage rooms;
- First floor: entrance hall, dining room with fireplace, closet, three bedrooms and three bathrooms;
- Second floor: bedroom, bathroom and two crawlspaces.
The church (55 sqm – 592 sqft), annexed to the rectory and still consecrated, has a small sacristy inside (10 sqm – 108 sqft).
The property also includes three rural outbuildings (249 sqm – 2,679 sqft), all in typical Tuscan style with stone walls and wooden beams, currently used as storages, warehouses and firewood shelters.
EXTERIORS
The estate is provided with a convenient graveled apron currently used as a parking area, an 8 × 4 m swimming pool (constant depth of 170 cm – 5.6 ft) and an outdoor panoramic terrace with a wonderful sight on the Valdichiana. Next to the pool is a small shed (regularly registered but in need of renovation) that could be used as a dressing room for the swimming pool or to create a cozy sauna. The garden all around the pool is equipped with an irrigation system.
The complex is surrounded by approximately 4.2 hectares of land that also include an olive grove (1.6 hectares for a total of 450 trees) used to produce oil for private use.
The estate is supplied by a 140 m well in conjunction with a clear water spring and two cisterns holding up to 3,000 liters of water (792 gallons).
