Casale Anthea

A cosy atmosphere pervades this beautiful late 19th century farmhouse with swimming pool, for sale in Tuscany, surrounded by greenery and with a view of Lake Massaciuccoli.
The prestigious property is located on a hill ridge, and set in a plot of approximately 3750 square metres with an olive grove of 60 trees, for the production of top quality organic olive oil.
The original building, rectangular in shape and developed on three levels, built at the end of the 19th century, underwent an important and painstaking renovation in the early 2000s, recovering the construction characteristics of typical Tuscan country houses, such as the original terracotta floors, the ceilings with exposed wooden beams and bricks, the splendid period internal doors, the fireplaces and the stone staircase with wrought iron handrail.
The renovation, while preserving as much as possible the original architectural elements, has skilfully combined the most modern plant comforts, such as the LPG heating system in addition to the pellet boiler and thermo-fireplace, solar panels with hot water storage tank, new electrical and alarm system, TV and WiFi dish, outdoor lighting, private well that feeds the irrigation system and the swimming pool, original and renovated external windows and doors with double glazing and mosquito nets, insulated roof.
