Antico Frantoio Con Piscina Panoramica E Uliveto, Alle Porte DI Volterra

This property is situated in the most authentic heart of Tuscany, close to the historic centre of Volterra, one of the most fascinating and best-preserved Etruscan towns in Italy. The charm of the farmhouse lies also in its history: it is, in fact, one of the seven ancient mills that have characterised the landscape beneath the medieval walls for centuries. The property enjoys an exceptional location, close to the Roman Theatre and immersed in a natural setting of rare beauty. Volterra, located on a hill rising over 500 meters above sea level, offers spectacular views stretching from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the Tyrrhenian Sea, with unforgettable sunsets and a unique sense of freedom.

The farmhouse is surrounded by one hectare of private land, with an olive grove comprising around 100 trees in full production. A picturesque stream, flowing from the area of the Roman Theatre, runs along part of the property, helping to create an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and harmony with nature. The complex comprises the main farmhouse, a detached annex, a panoramic swimming pool with sauna, as well as storehouses, laundry, garage and a large green area used as an outdoor car park. The property also features a wall with spring water for irrigation, a connection to the mains water supply, electricity, Wi-Fi and LPG heating. Access is via a characteristic residential dirt road that ensures privacy and seclusion whilst remaining very close to all the city’s amenities and cultural attractions. The farmhouse retains all the charm of traditional Tuscan architecture, featuring original materials and exquisite details. On the ground floor there is the living room with large and bright panoramic windows, an eat-in kitchen with direct access to the garden, the pergola and the panoramic terrace, a bedroom and a large bathroom. On the first floor, you find two more double bedrooms and an office/studio. The interiors are enhanced by ribbed vaulted ceilings on the ground floor, wooden beams and brickwork on the upper floors, and terracotta floors, which lend the rooms a warm and elegant atmosphere.

Adding to the property’s exclusivity is the presence, within the private grounds, of a major installation by the Volterra-born artist Mauro Staccioli, a leading international figure in the field of contemporary sculpture. The work blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, creating a striking fusion of art, nature and history that lends the property a unique and distinctive character. An exclusive property, ideal as a year-round home or as a prestigious country residence, a charming guesthouse or a high-end tourist investment, nestled in the timeless charm of Volterra and its hills overlooking the sea.

The property is located not far from the historic centre of Volterra, nestled in the enchanting countryside that surrounds it renowned for its timeless landscapes characterised by rows of cypress trees, olive groves and the striking “balze” (badlands), which make this area unique.

Every window in the farmhouse offers an extraordinary panoramic view, instantly evoking a sense of harmony and a deep connection with nature. The property is accessed via a picturesque dirt track of around 2 km and is surrounded by a private park of approximately 1 hectare, ensuring privacy and tranquillity.

It is rare to find a property that combines such harmony with historical charm, scenic beauty and proximity to Tuscany’s main attractions. The beaches of the Etruscan Coast are less than an hour away, whilst art cities such as Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca and Florence are easily accessible.

The location is, in fact, particularly strategic and central in relation to the main destinations in Tuscany. Pisa and Florence airports are approximately 60 km and 75 km away respectively; the Tyrrhenian coast is about 40 km away, San Gimignano 20 km, Siena 45 km, Pisa 60 km and the prestigious Castelfalfi Golf Club just 27 km.

All essential amenities, including the hospital, are in nearby Volterra, making this property the perfect blend of Tuscan countryside charm and everyday convenience.
