Maison De Campagne à Volterra

Nestled in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, Casale Antonella enjoys a privileged location surrounded by nature and overlooking the gentle hills of the Volterra area. This is a place where the landscape becomes an integral part of the property: from every room in the house, you can enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding hills, with glimpses reaching as far as the city of Volterra, offering extraordinary beauty in every season.

The property extends over approximately 7.5 hectares of agricultural land, providing privacy, ample space, and a strong connection to the Tuscan landscape. The land hosts about 300 productive olive trees, while the remaining areas offer interesting opportunities for those wishing to create a vineyard, plant fruit trees, or simply fully enjoy the green spaces surrounding the farmhouse.

The terrain’s layout also allows for the possibility of building a panoramic swimming pool in an ideal position to further enhance the view and create a dedicated relaxation area fully immersed in the landscape.

Outside, there are also elements that tell the agricultural history of the property, including the ancient oven, a cellar, and a shed—testimonies to the authentic character of the farmhouse and its original rural vocation.

The location allows you to experience the countryside in complete tranquility while remaining within a territory rich in history, art, and traditions. We are in the heart of the Volterra hills, an ancient Tuscan village situated between the Era and Cecina valleys, one of the most evocative places in the region for its landscape beauty and historical heritage.

Volterra still preserves a highly authentic historic center, characterized by its two city walls, one of Etruscan origin and the other dating back to the 13th century. Its streets, squares, and buildings tell a millennial story, while numerous museums allow a deeper understanding of the city’s cultural identity—from its Etruscan heritage to works of art and the alabaster tradition.

Nearby, you can also find small villages and places of particular interest, such as Montemiccioli, an ancient castle located between the territories of Volterra and San Gimignano, and Saline di Volterra, known for its important rock salt deposits exploited since the second half of the 10th century.

THE FARMHOUSE

At the center of this setting is the farmhouse, originally built in the first half of the 19th century and later renovated and modernized to preserve its original character.

With a total area of about 270 sqm, the house is spread over two main levels plus a spacious attic. The entrance leads to the ground floor, where the rooms are organized around a large living room featuring a fireplace, ideal for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere during the colder months. The floor also includes a large kitchen, connected to the other rooms by a characteristic internal spiral staircase, as well as a guest bathroom.

Going up to the first floor, accessible both from the internal staircase and through an independent external entrance, there is a second living area, also enhanced by a fireplace. This floor also houses two bedrooms, a smaller bedroom, and a full bathroom, with a layout that allows for a more independent organization of the level.

An additional surprise is the attic, a large and versatile space currently used as an extra bedroom, which can be adapted according to personal needs.

One of the most captivating aspects of the house is undoubtedly its exposure. The view accompanies the property in every room: from the windows and balconies of the farmhouse, the gaze opens onto the hills of Volterra, creating evocative scenes and offering breathtaking panoramas of the Tuscan countryside, with the city of Volterra visible in the background. This feature makes every room particularly bright and gives the house a unique relationship with the landscape.

The farmhouse has been previously inhabited and is in excellent condition, while still maintaining the details and characteristics that preserve its identity as an ancient country house. The property is equipped with a pellet heating system, a boiler for hot water production, a telephone line, and a diesel gas tank.

Casale Antonella is a property designed for those seeking more than just a simple home: a house immersed in nature, surrounded by extensive land, with productive olive trees and the possibility to further develop the outdoor spaces. A place where the tranquility of the countryside blends with the beauty of the landscape and where, from every corner of the house, the gaze can wander across the hills of Volterra.

An authentic residence in the heart of Tuscany, with a view that becomes part of the very experience of living in the house.
