Casale San Martino

A PRIVATE TUSCAN RETREAT WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS OVER THE VAL DI CHIANA

Nestled among the gentle hills of Cortona, in an elevated and secluded position, this charming property embodies all the authentic beauty of the Tuscan countryside. An early 20th-century stone farmhouse overlooks the Val di Chiana, offering sweeping panoramic views and unforgettable sunsets in a setting of complete privacy and tranquility.

Accessed via a private road, the estate is surrounded by approximately 1.5 hectares of land, enhanced by a meticulously maintained olive grove with around 500 olive trees, perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. Here, the beauty of nature, the peacefulness of the countryside, and the authenticity of traditional Tuscan architecture come together in a rare and harmonious balance.

AUTHENTIC ARCHITECTURE & DISTINCTIVE LIVING SPACES

The property extends over approximately 220 sqm and comprises the main farmhouse and an independent guest house, featuring a total of three bathrooms.

The main farmhouse, measuring approximately 170 sqm over two floors, preserves the defining characteristics of traditional Tuscan rural architecture, including stone walls, exposed wooden beams, and warm, welcoming interiors where the history of the building blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

The ground floor hosts the living area, featuring a cozy sitting room with fireplace, a spacious lounge with access to a bathroom and the internal staircase, and a semi-open kitchen that maintains a pleasant connection with the entertaining spaces. A more recently added ancillary building, accessible from the outside, accommodates a laundry room and a traditional wood-fired oven.

The upper floor can be reached either through the internal staircase or via an impressive external stone staircase leading to a landing area. The sleeping quarters include two bedrooms, one of which benefits from a generous walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom. A thoughtful reconfiguration of the existing layout would also allow for the creation of a third bedroom, further enhancing the property’s versatility.

A GUEST HOUSE WITH GREAT POTENTIAL

Facing the main farmhouse is a second stone building of approximately 50 sqm, arranged over two levels and equipped with a bathroom. Currently used as storage space, the guest house is in an advanced stage of renovation and requires only the completion of the final works.

Once finished, it could become a charming guest residence, a wellness area, or a private gym, offering additional accommodation options and greater independence from the main house.

Including this secondary building, the estate has the potential to comfortably accommodate eight to ten guests, making it particularly appealing as a private holiday home to be shared with family and friends.

OUTDOOR LIVING AMONG OLIVE TREES AND PANORAMIC VIEWS

The surrounding landscape is undoubtedly the true highlight of the outdoor spaces. The approximately 30 sqm swimming pool, featuring a steel structure and partially above-ground design, opens onto the Val di Chiana, providing a privileged setting from which to admire the Tuscan countryside and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the hills.

The garden, intimate and easy to maintain, blends naturally with the olive grove and a small wooded area, creating a private and authentic environment. A terrace offers an additional space for outdoor living, while a cellar and an uncovered parking area complete the property’s amenities.

COMFORT & TECHNICAL FEATURES

The roof of the main farmhouse has recently been completely renovated, and the property is presented in excellent overall condition.

Heating is provided by a GPL (LPG) system, complemented by a pellet stove, while water supply is ensured through a private well.

The combination of historic character, recent improvements, and opportunities for further customization makes this property especially appealing to those seeking an authentic Tuscan residence with the possibility of adapting and enhancing the spaces according to their own lifestyle and preferences.

A PRIVATE HAVEN IN THE HEART OF TUSCANY

This property offers a rare opportunity to experience Tuscany in its most genuine and intimate form, surrounded by nature and far removed from the pace of everyday life, yet within one of the region’s most sought-after areas.

Ideal either as a private residence or as a holiday retreat, the farmhouse provides privacy, generous outdoor spaces, and magnificent panoramic views. The presence of the guest house and the productive olive grove further enhances its appeal, making it an especially attractive proposition for an international clientele seeking a timeless Tuscan home to enjoy and share for years to come.
