Historic Farmhouse With Swimming Pool In Cortona

Historic farmhouse located within walking distance of Cortona’s historic center, in a dominant panoramic position, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Just a short walk from the historic center of Cortona, in a dominant position offering spectacular views over the valley, lies this charming 16th-century farmhouse, once owned by the Pamphilj family, an important Roman noble dynasty that included Pope Innocent X among its members.

The property, measuring approximately 250 sqm, is arranged over three levels and features multiple independent entrances: one to the first floor via an external staircase, one to the ground floor, and several access points to the lower level, directly connected to the panoramic terrace.

The lower level hosts the main living area, consisting of a kitchen with pantry, a large living room suitable also as a dining room, and an additional lounge with fireplace. On the ground floor there are two bedrooms, a bathroom, a study, and a technical room. The first floor, also accessible independently, offers a self-contained apartment with kitchenette, living room, bedroom, and bathroom.

The land extends over nearly 3 hectares of rolling countryside, including an olive grove with 580 trees. The 8×4 swimming pool, created from an ancient stone basin and set on a raised terrace, blends naturally into the surroundings. The property is completed by several outbuildings used as storage spaces or equipment sheds, as well as a small hunting tower located further down the hillside.
