Domaine Toscan Historique De 6 Hectares Et Potentiel Pour Un « Agritourisme »

Cetona – Historic Tuscan Estate with Pool and 15 Acres of Land in the Senese Hills

In the heart of the Senese hills, surrounded by the gentle countryside of Tuscany, this fascinating historic estate is offered for sale. The property comprises several buildings totaling approximately 950 sq m (10,225 sq ft), set within around 6 hectares (15 acres) of land, including fields and woodland.

The main house dates back to the late 18th century, to the period of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany under Leopold II, and still retains the authentic character of a traditional Tuscan country estate. Originally owned by the noble Ottieri della Ciaia family and acquired in the early 20th century by the grandfather of the current owner, the estate was for many years devoted to farming, with crops including hemp, wheat, barley and corn, before later becoming a successful agriturismo, offering guests a traditional countryside stay.

The interiors retain many original features, including distinctive vaulted ceilings, arched openings and elegant travertine finishes. The ground floor comprises four spacious rooms, while a traditional external stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where a charming covered loggia opens onto three independent apartments: two with two bedrooms each and one with a single bedroom. These apartments were previously used for the estate’s hospitality business and offer the flexibility to accommodate guests while maintaining privacy.

The property is completed by **two characteristic former agricultural buildings located opposite the main house**, once used in connection with the farming activities of the estate and now an integral part of the property. Their presence adds further flexibility and potential for a future residential or hospitality project.

One of the most distinctive spaces is the large room with twelve windows, once used as a natural drying room for the crops. The estate also includes a private swimming pool, fully authorized and currently in need of restoration.

The approximately 6 hectares (15 acres) of land provide privacy, peace and direct contact with an unspoiled natural setting, home to pheasants, hares, roe deer and squirrels. Former guests of the agriturismo still return to enjoy the peace of the countryside, the fresh air and the authentic beauty of the landscape.

A property full of history and character, ideal as a prestigious private residence or for creating a new hospitality venture in the heart of Tuscany.
