Beautiful Farmhouse In Lovely Position

An ancient farmhouse probably dating back to the 1700`s (although the main house is believed to date back to the 1100 s) offering the atmosphere and layout of a genuine Tuscan farmhouse whilst creating a luxurious family home with all modern comforts, such as a fully-equipped spa, AC and heated flooring. Being a `smart` house, the heating, AC, lighting, spa and alarm/video system can all be controlled remotely.

The property was beautifully restored by the current owners in 2014 with great attention to detail and materials used such as the stone from the area known as Alberese and beautiful old wooden beams and window frames. It can be considered turn-key and would also make a perfect rental investment. The property is accessed by a dirt road of about 1 km and enjoys beautiful north and east facing views over woods, olive groves and vineyards. It comprises about 12.8 Ha of land and there are 3 buildings and a further annexe for machinery of 11 sqm. The immediate surrounding land has been partially landscaped creating sitting areas, pathways, back-lighted flowerbeds and pergolas whilst the rest is open fields, olive groves and further away, woodland, forming a true, private oasis.

The present owner has a 25-year rental contract for an adjacent vineyard of about 1.2/1.3Ha producing certified Gallo Nero DOCG wine, with 17 years remaining of the contract. This can be continued if desired. The main house of ca. 265 sqm is on 2 floors; an upper and a lower ground floor as the house is built into the hillside.

The accommodation provides: Entrance hall and guest W.C. From here steps lead down to 2 rooms, one of which is the cantina and the other a technical/utility room with the water-purifying system. To the right of the entrance is a living/dining room with open fireplace followed by a fully-equipped kitchen and steps leading up to a library/media room under the eaves. Also off the living/dining room are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one of which is en suite. Stairs from the kitchen lead down to a dressing room, a master bedroom and a double-length bathroom which includes a bath and large, separate shower. All the rooms on this floor have direct access to the gardens where there is access to a summer kitchen/dining area with oven and loggia.

The two smaller annexes are: one of 60 sq m for guest accommodation providing a room used as a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, currently used for tourism with its own private dining terrace and the Spa annexe of 50 sqm with Turkish sauna, Swedish sauna, heated Jacuzzi bath, bathroom and changing room. This is close to the 10 x 7 mt salt-water swimming pool which enjoys panoramic views over the valley below. It would be possible to buy the furniture by separate negation. GPL central heating. Water from well and water for irrigation from a spring.
