The Artist’s House
An authentic soul in the most poetic heart of Tuscany
Just a few minutes from the historic center of Cortona, immersed in precious silence and embraced by the green slopes of the Cortonese hills, lies The Artist’s Farmhouse — a rare and truly unique property.
A place where stone tells ancient stories, where light fills every room generously, and where creativity, beauty, and slow living meet in perfect harmony.
Entirely built in original stone, the farmhouse preserves its most authentic Tuscan character, with exposed wooden beams, original terracotta floors, high ceilings, and architectural details that are now almost impossible to find.
The Main House
The heart of the property is arranged over three levels, with three independent entrances, offering exceptional flexibility and privacy.
Ground Floor A spacious living/studio area — once the original kitchen — welcomes you with a beautiful original stone manger, historic ceilings and floors that create a warm, soulful atmosphere. This level also features a bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
First Floor A large living room with kitchen, dominated by a magnificent fireplace and enriched by a charming mezzanine balcony. A bedroom, a bathroom, and an independent entrance directly from the garden make this floor ideal as a self-contained living space. Exposed beams, original terracotta floors, abundant natural light, and timeless Tuscan charm define every corner.
Second Floor A mezzanine with bathroom leads to a spacious bedroom boasting open views over the valley below — an intimate, poetic space, perfect for quiet mornings and peaceful evenings.
The Second Unit – The Ancient Church
Adjacent to the main house stands a true rarity: a former 17th-century church, now converted into an independent apartment. The ground floor offers a living area, kitchenette, and bathroom; the first floor, with its own independent entrance, features a bedroom. A unique and evocative space, ideal for guests or as a private residence.
The Artist’s Studio
Between the two buildings, a stunning panoramic swimming pool with views over Cortona creates a visual and emotional connection between sky, hills, and stone. Nearby, an annex on a single level, once the artist’s favorite creative retreat, offers the perfect setting for an atelier, studio, creative space, or wellness area.
The Land
The property is completed by approximately 5 hectares of land, featuring:
a beautiful olive grove,
fruit trees,
and century-old trees, all framed by open, luminous views of the Cortona landscape.
Potential and Prestige
The farmhouse is in good overall condition, though it requires modernization. Once updated, it will become a spectacular and truly one-of-a-kind estate, blending historical charm, prestige, and outstanding investment value.
Set in a quiet, green, and highly prestigious area, right beside the Cortona hillside.
Situated in historic Cortona, this property offers easy access to cultural landmarks and Tuscan countryside. Cortona Train Station is 7 min by car, providing connections to Florence and Rome. Florence Airport is a 1h 10min drive. Enjoy local Michelin dining, upscale shops, and renowned golf clubs nearby, with international schools accessible within 30 min. The location balances heritage charm and practical transport links.
A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany

A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany
My name is Lorenzo Lucani, founder of Toscana Servizi Immobiliari. I was born and raised in Cortona, as were my parents, and for nearly three decades I have dedicated my professional life to helping clients discover, acquire and sell exceptional properties in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany.
Since 1997, I have worked as a real estate agent with a particular focus on prestigious residences, historic homes, country estates, villas and distinctive properties throughout Cortona and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
My roots here are an essential part of the service I offer. A lifetime spent in Cortona has given me an intimate knowledge of the territory, its history, its people and its property market. This local expertise, combined with a genuine passion for Tuscany and an international approach to real estate, allows me to offer clients far more than a simple property search.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of representing and selling remarkable properties to clients from Italy and around the world, working with buyers and sellers with very different backgrounds, expectations and levels of investment. Whatever the value of the transaction, my philosophy remains the same: every client deserves discretion, personal attention, transparency and the highest level of professional care.
At Toscana Servizi Immobiliari, we believe that purchasing a home in Tuscany is rarely just a real estate transaction. For many international buyers, it is the fulfilment of a long-held dream and often the beginning of a new chapter in life.
For this reason, I personally accompany my clients throughout the entire process: from understanding their wishes and selecting the most suitable properties, to negotiations, technical and legal due diligence, and finally the signing of the deed. My aim is to make even the most complex transaction feel clear, secure and carefully managed.
The same dedication is offered to property owners who entrust us with the sale of their homes. Each property is personally evaluated and carefully selected, with particular attention to its character, positioning and international potential.
The principle behind Toscana Servizi Immobiliari is simple: to provide discerning buyers and sellers with a complete, highly professional and genuinely personal real estate service.
My academic background has also shaped the way I approach my profession. I hold a degree in Philosophy and a Master’s Degree in History from the University of Siena. This passion for history, culture and the identity of places gives me a particular appreciation for the architectural and historical heritage of the properties I represent.
I have been a member of FIAIP – the Italian Federation of Professional Real Estate Agents – since 2001. From 2017 to 2021, I served as Foreign Sector Delegate for the Tuscany Region, Vice President for the Province of Arezzo, and as a member of the FIAIP Tuscany Regional Council.
International real estate has always been an important part of my professional activity. I regularly attend specialist training programmes, including CIPS – Certified International Property Specialist, TRC – Transnational Referral Certification, and executive courses at SDA Bocconi University, and I personally participate in international real estate exhibitions and professional events across Europe.
Today, this combination of deep local roots, international experience and almost thirty years of real estate expertise enables Toscana Servizi Immobiliari to offer clients a highly specialised service in the Tuscan luxury property market.
Our offices are located in the historic centre of Cortona, overlooking the magnificent Piazza della Repubblica. It is a place that perfectly represents who we are: deeply connected to the history and beauty of Tuscany, yet accustomed to welcoming clients from every part of the world.
Whether you are searching for an elegant residence in Cortona, a traditional Tuscan farmhouse, a historic estate, a villa surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, or you are considering selling an exceptional property in this unique part of Italy, we would be delighted to welcome you and guide you personally through every stage of your journey.
