Description
Situated in a dominant position within the stunning Valdichiana, just minutes from Montepulciano and the border between Tuscany and Umbria, this 16th-century villa represents a unique offering in the Italian real estate landscape. Immersed in a context of extraordinary natural beauty, the estate spans 20 hectares of land, encompassing centuries-old olive groves, cultivated fields, and wooded areas.
Access to the property is via an elegant tree-lined avenue that winds through an enchanting English-style woodland of oaks and cypress trees, creating an atmosphere of privacy and charm. The formal park, enriched with monumental trees, offers a visual harmony that culminates in a panoramic swimming pool equipped with a jacuzzi area, perfect for moments of relaxation and conviviality. The Italian-style garden, with its stone pathways and circular flowerbeds, adds further elegance to the outdoor environment, making it ideal for exclusive events.
The architectural heart of the estate is represented by the sumptuous 1,130 sqm villa, distributed over five levels, including an attic and cellar. The interiors, skillfully preserved, feature original elements of great value: from frescoed ceilings to coffered ceilings with golden decorations, from ancient terracotta floors to period finishes, every detail is a testament to a noble past. The villa accommodates 11 bedrooms, reception salons, and spaces of great charm, all in excellent general condition. However, it is advisable to make some updates on the second and third floors to align the comfort with contemporary standards.
Adjacent to the villa is a renovated farmhouse of 625 sqm, arranged over three levels, currently functioning as an agriturismo. This structure features five rooms, in addition to a suite with a bathroom, all equipped with air conditioning, making it a perfect option for quality tourism. The last renovation in 2010 involved a careful and thoughtful intervention aimed at integrating a modern tourism model with the authenticity and charm of history.
Of particular interest is the presence of a former consecrated church of 100 sqm, which retains the original altar and choir area, along with a suggestive semicircular crypt featuring ancient funeral ovens, showcasing the historical and spiritual significance of the site. This peculiarity adds an additional layer of meaning and charm to the estate.
Completing the property is a 120 sqm caretaker's apartment, equipped with a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, as well as a 655 sqm winery building, fully equipped with concrete tanks, oak barrels, and a valuable collection of vintage agricultural tools. Here, historical spaces that once housed the carpentry workshop, bakery, and beekeeping storage can also be found, testifying to a rich agricultural tradition.
This estate is not just a real estate opportunity; it is a piece of history, a refuge of beauty, and a potential investment for those who wish to immerse themselves in Italian culture and tradition. A perfect balance of authenticity, elegance, and functionality, ready to welcome new life and new stories.
