Description
A few steps from Volterra, in an uncontaminated landscape, on the top of a hill, a wonderful fort built in 1613 to partially recreate the shape of the tower of Montecatini Val di Cecina. In the past the property was part of a large agricultural farm maintained by a single family unit. The Fort includes: The imposing manor house, has a unique structure with original buttresses and extends over approximately 430 m2. On the ground floor we find a kitchen area, large living room, a bathroom, another living room, a small church and a technical room. Continuing on the first floor, accessible both from an internal staircase and from a double external staircase, we find the main entrance through a large living room with fireplace, kitchen area, 4 large bedrooms and two bathrooms. The external staircase leads to the attic floor, made up of rooms and attics with habitable heights for a total of 6 rooms with a small terrace, ideal for creating other habitable spaces. The villa is in good condition and the interior is characterized by original materials typical of the area, such as terracotta, beams and wooden window frames, but it requires some renovation work. There is a connection to the municipal aqueduct and all systems are functioning. In the immediate vicinity of the main villa there is an annex (with important volumes to be restored) developed on two floors for a total of 280 m2. composed in the basement of warehouse rooms, while on the ground floor of an apartment with kitchen, large living room, bedroom and bathroom. There are other small warehouses and a garage that are part of the property. The property is surrounded by approximately 2 hectares of land with fruit trees and an olive grove. It is possible to expand it with another contiguous flat land of up to 5/6 hectares for any horse riding and/or recreational activities. In front of the Fort we find a shed of approximately 400 m2 (ideal for a tourist facility or agricultural company), currently used for agricultural purposes, which can be purchased separately and of which it is possible to request the transformation of the volumes according to the needs of future buyers by making a joint request. In the event that the warehouse is not of interest to the future buyer, the owner assumes the burden of demolition at his own expense. The view over the hills up to Volterra is truly unparalleled, a magnificent Tuscan landscape with rolling hills, cypresses and wheat fields. The Fort can be reached via 1 km of dirt road in good condition, guaranteeing the right amount of privacy, but at the same time not far from other homes, making the area safe and not too isolated. The ideal place for a wonderful private residence or for a structure to be used as a tourist-accommodation activity in a unique position and with a strong character.
