Verstecktes Frühlings Anwesen · Cor389

A 550-square-metre farmhouse and guest accommodation set on 5.7 hectares of vineyards and olive groves in Valdichiana
Ref. COR389
Amidst the rolling hills of the Valdichiana, in the municipality of Cortona, a private road leads away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, winding gently upwards through vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields to a 5.7-hectare estate. Here, the Tuscan countryside retains its timeless rhythm: the light glides over the rows of vines in the morning, the wind rustles the ears of corn in the afternoon, and in the evening the silence is broken only by the song of crickets. Two buildings – a large country house and a guest house overlooking the swimming pool – tell the story of a property designed to be enjoyed by the family and shared with those who come from afar.
The Main House
The main house is a traditional Tuscan country house measuring 550 square metres, spread over two floors and currently divided into two flats. It is a spacious property that could be reunited into a single large residence or remain as two independent units, for the extended family or for guests. The façades are currently plastered: a future restoration project could restore the house to its original stone appearance, which time and the light of the Valdichiana have rendered as warm as honey.
The annexe amongst the wheat and olive trees
Not far away, in the centre of the estate and next to the swimming pool, stands a second building of 250 square metres, currently used as guest accommodation. It comprises three spacious flats, each with its own outdoor areas, overlooking a panorama of wheat fields and olive groves that change colour with the seasons, from the soft green of spring to the gold of summer. Here, guests find their own home within the house, with the swimming pool just a few steps away and greenery all around.
The land: vineyard, olive groves and arable land
The 5.7 hectares surrounding the buildings form a small, self-contained agricultural landscape: a vineyard, an olive grove and arable land opening out onto the valley. It is land to be tended and put to good use, yielding the estate’s own wine and olive oil whilst preserving the character of the Cortona countryside intact.
The spring water
The estate’s most rare feature lies hidden amongst the trees: a spring flows through a small woodland and feeds the property’s wells. This living water, flowing in the shade of the foliage, ensures the estate’s gardens and crops thrive.
A residence, a welcoming retreat
With its five apartments spread across the main house and the annexe, the property lends itself just as naturally to becoming a spacious private residence as it does to continuing its role as a tourist accommodation, combining the pleasure of country living with a sound investment opportunity.
Between Tuscany and Umbria
The estate is centrally located for visiting Tuscany’s major cities of art and lies just a few kilometres from the border with Umbria. From here, Cortona, the villages of the Valdichiana and the Umbrian hills are just a short drive away, allowing you to return in the evening to the tranquillity of the private road and the fields.
