BUILDING DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AND FEATURES
Upon stepping onto the paved porch situated at the heart of the structure, you are welcomed into the main house (180 m2, featuring 3 bedrooms, a study, and 2 and a half bathrooms).
The floors throughout the lower level are a beautiful cream limestone that works perfectly with the large chestnut beams. Stone features throughout were made by a local master stonemason.
Entering through the main door, you find yourself in the inviting living room with a hand-carved stone fireplace, seamlessly connected to the dining area with an original bread oven, perfect for baking bread and pizzas.
The house has a large and stunning farmhouse kitchen with a hand-carved stone mantle above the 6 burner gas stove, and a breakfast room with its own private back porch.
Transitioning from the kitchen leads you to the walk-in pantry and laundry room.
Adjacent to the living room sits a convenient powder room with a terracotta floor, alongside the stone staircase guiding you to the upper floor housing three bedrooms, a study and two additional bathrooms. Both bathrooms are in the luxury category, one of which has a copper bath and basin imported from Spain and a romantic chandelier.
On the western side of the farmhouse stands a tower, accessible via the paved loggia, housing a delightful self-catering studio apartment (38 sqm, offering 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom). This space has been designed to not feel small at all, and comprises of a living room/kitchen area, an ante-bagno, a bathroom, and a mezzanine hosting a large double bedroom that comfortably fits the current emperor-sized bed.
The staircase and light fittings were commissioned and made by a local blacksmith. Another stone-carved fireplace can be found here and fitted with a wood-burning stove using wood from the property. The floors are hand-made cotton tiles in a lovely honey colour.
Supplementary to the residence are various utility rooms (8 sqm) dedicated to housing systems, along with a cellar (22 sqm) situated beneath the tower. Adjacent to the cellar lies a small room ideal for a workshop (10 sqm.
The expansive loggia, nestled between the two wings of the house (40 m2), serves as an idyllic retreat for relaxation during balmy summer days. Its generous size also renders it suitable for hosting outdoor dinners with guests and friends. The fireplace can used as a BBQ in summer and a source of warmth in the winter.
This farmhouse has undergone a complete renovation, preserving its rustic charm while introducing refined elements in a captivating blend of ancient and modern aesthetics. The finishings are luxury-standard. The interiors exude a bright and welcoming ambiance, accentuated by walls painted in soft, luminous hues that allow natural light to permeate throughout the rooms.
THE LAND
The farmhouse sits at the heart of an approximately 11-hectare plot, comprising a mix of arable land and woodland. The lush trees encircling the property ensure utmost privacy. Recently, a small vineyard was established, boasting around 1,200 plants of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, and Syrah varieties, with the potential for expansion into the available arable land.
There is currently a barn on the land which has provisional status only to the owner who keeps Angora goats. This will be demolished at sale. There is, however, a cute chicken coop that will remain. There is also a 90 sqm polytunnel that is currently being used to raise vegetables using aquaponics, table grapes and raspberries.
Surrounding the farmhouse is a fenced garden spanning approximately 2,000 sqm, offering the possibility of accommodating a swimming pool, ideally positioned not far from the main building.
Access to the farmhouse is primarily via asphalt road, with the exception of the final short stretch (about 150 m), which transitions into a well-maintained dirt road.
The farm is completely fenced with Fundo Chiuso status, thereby keeping hunters off the property. Part of the house is fenced with an edible hedge of wild plums.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This is a beautiful home that is move-in ready. In addition, the house is sold with all light fittings, household appliances (many brand new and unused), and all kitchen cabinets.
You will go a long way to find a house with these quality finishes in Tuscany at this price. Owners are motivated to sell.
