The Old Mill, A Beautiful Property In Cortona With Its Medieval Bridge.

The Old Mill

A historic 14th-century mill surrounded by nature, just a few minutes from Cortona

Only 2 km from the historic centre of Cortona, in a private and highly charming setting, stands The Old Mill, a truly unique property: an ancient stone mill dating back to the 14th century, now transformed into a charming residence that perfectly combines history, authenticity and contemporary comfort.

Surrounded by approximately one hectare of private land, the property is set within an intimate and evocative landscape, where nature becomes an essential part of everyday living. A small stream flows close to the house and, just a short distance away, an ancient 13th-century medieval bridge adds even more character to a setting that seems suspended in time.

The residence extends over approximately 285 square metres and retains the original stonework and architectural identity of the historic mill. It is arranged over four levels and features four independent entrances, a rare characteristic that allows the spaces to be organised with great flexibility while ensuring privacy for both family and guests.

The interiors

The main entrance opens into a spacious and bright living room, a warm and welcoming space where natural light enhances the texture of the stone and the authentic atmosphere of the house.

Adjacent to the living room are the kitchen, an additional practical kitchenette and a study, ideal as a private library, home office or reading room.

An internal staircase leads to the upper level, where there are two bedrooms and one bathroom.

A second independent entrance, directly from street level, leads to a particularly private area of the property, consisting of a large bedroom with its own bathroom and enhanced by an exclusive terrace.

This is an intimate and charming space, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings from the early hours of the morning.

On the lower level, which also has its own independent entrance, there are two spacious rooms already prepared to be transformed into an elegant private wellness and spa area.

Alternatively, these spaces can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, a guest suite or a completely independent living area.

This level also includes a bathroom and a charming wine cellar, ideal for storing wines or for creating a private wine room.

The property can therefore offer a total of four bedrooms and three bathrooms, while maintaining an extremely versatile layout.

The garden and future panoramic swimming pool

The Old Mill is surrounded by a beautiful and charming garden set within approximately one hectare of private land.

The outdoor areas offer numerous possibilities for creating relaxation areas, outdoor dining spaces, pergolas and secluded corners dedicated to entertaining and enjoying the surrounding landscape.

The property also benefits from two wells and an irrigation system, valuable features for the maintenance of the garden and grounds.

One of the most attractive features of the property is the possibility of building a panoramic swimming pool overlooking Cortona.

The position offers the opportunity to create a truly spectacular pool area, surrounded by greenery and facing the unmistakable skyline of the Etruscan town, an ideal setting from which to enjoy Tuscan sunsets in complete privacy.

Authenticity, history and privacy just minutes from Cortona

What makes The Old Mill particularly rare is the perfect balance between privacy and proximity to local amenities.

Although set in an exceptionally peaceful natural environment, the historic centre of Cortona can be reached in just a few minutes.

The property retains all the atmosphere and charm of a historic residence without requiring major renovation works. Only limited finishing and completion works are needed, giving the future owner the opportunity to personalise the final details according to their own taste.

Thanks to its independent entrances and flexible internal layout, The Old Mill is perfectly suited both as a prestigious private residence and as an exclusive Tuscan retreat, boutique accommodation or high-end hospitality property.
