REF. PIS343
Just 11 km from the Etruscan town of Volterra — one of Tuscany’s most charming and well-preserved medieval towns — on a hilltop in a panoramic setting of extraordinary beauty, accessible via 2.5 km of easy-to-drive dirt track, Casale Il Fienile is a former farmhouse that was completely renovated between 1997 and 2001, successfully preserving all the architectural features of traditional Tuscan rural architecture whilst offering every modern comfort and high-quality building services.
The property comprises a main house of approximately 275 square metres spread over two floors and an annexe converted from the old barn, giving a total floor area of approximately 343 square metres. The main house accommodates three separate living units. On the ground floor there is a two-room flat — comprising a dining room, kitchenette, bathroom and double bedroom — and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom; both feature exposed brick vaults and ceilings with original wooden beams, lending the spaces an atmosphere of rare authenticity. On the first floor, accessible via a typical external staircase with a loggia, is the spacious master flat: a kitchen and dining room with a fireplace, a living room with a pellet stove, two bedrooms, a bathroom and access to the loft. The third accommodation is situated in the converted barn: a bedroom with a dining area, a kitchenette, a bathroom and a mezzanine — approximately 50 square metres of simple yet charming space.
A short distance from the main house, a useful wooden storage room of approximately 18 square metres completes the property’s utility spaces.
The 10×5-metre swimming pool, with a motorised cover and travertine marble edging and sun deck, is situated at the most scenic spot on the property — a vantage point overlooking the Volterra countryside which, on clear days, stretches all the way to the horizon. The area is fenced off with access via an electric gate.
The building services are of a high standard and make this property one of the few in its category to be fully geared towards energy self-sufficiency: photovoltaic panels and solar collectors for hot water production, radiator heating with a wood-fired boiler, air conditioning, double-glazed chestnut wood windows and a covered car park. The outdoor barbecue completes the outdoor living spaces.
The 14.5 hectares of land, mainly arable, include woodland and around 150 olive trees, with the area surrounding the buildings fenced off and subject to controlled access.
Il Casale Il Fienile is a property ready to resume guest accommodation operations or to be converted into an exclusive private residence, in one of the most picturesque and authentic areas of northern Tuscany.
