Small Estate With Farmhouse And Olive Grove For Sale In Casentino, Tuscany

In the Casentino countryside, in a hilly and panoramic position about 30 minutes from Arezzo, rural estate with farm outbuildings and olive grove for sale. The characteristics of the property make it suitable both as a country home and as a main residence, thanks to its excellent accessibility.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (285 m² – 3,070 ft², 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), renovated between 2007 and 2011, is currently used as a vacation home, rented weekly as an independent villa. The building is arranged on three levels:
• Ground floor: rooms used as wine cellar and storage, as well as a technical room/heating plant. On the side facing the swimming pool is a loggia, with a centuries-old oak tree next to it that offers shelter from the summer heat.
• First floor: also accessible via a double external stone staircase leading to a covered landing. It includes living room, kitchen with direct external access via a stone staircase, a bedroom and a bathroom. From the entrance hallway there is internal access to the ground floor via trapdoor and to the second floor.
• Second floor: living room with large windows, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

In the large lawn there is a panoramic 13 × 5 m swimming pool (built in 2011) with nearby a pool house (38 m² – 409 ft²) equipped with a Jacuzzi, fitness equipment and a bathroom. On the roof of the building, a panoramic solarium has been carved out.
