Historic Villa In The Hills Of Cortona

Nestled in the splendid setting of Cortona, this magnificent 18th-century historic property for sale is located in a panoramic position among the Tuscan hills, in a natural setting of great charm.
Originally built as a noble country residence, the property is the result of a major 18th-century architectural intervention that transformed the ancient agricultural estate into an elegant stately home surrounded by terraced gardens, fountains, and citrus groves.
The property consists of two main buildings: the main villa, spread over three floors above ground for approximately 1,250 square meters, and the former stables, spread over two levels for approximately 700 square meters. Overall, the covered area is just under 2,000 square meters, with residential and agricultural outbuildings.
The interiors offer charming and impressive rooms: frescoed halls, galleries, and reception rooms with paintings dating back to 1747, attributed to a well-known 18th-century Bolognese artist Vincenzo Torrigiani, pupil of Canaletto. The frescoes depict cityscapes and architectural perspectives inspired by the great masters of the period, while the period furnishings and finishes recreate the authentic atmosphere of an aristocratic residence. The exterior stands out for the understated elegance of the main façade, the monumental portal with a broken pediment, and the cornices that highlight the openings. The historic gardens, covering approximately one hectare and arranged over several terraces, retain their typical 18th-century layout: enclosed citrus groves, ornamental copses, scenic fountains, and a large exedra pool framed by stone walls and balustrades.
The cellars still house historic equipment for olive oil production and ancient terracotta amphorae, evidence of the estate’s traditional agricultural activity.
Ideal as a private residence, a charming historic home, or a luxury accommodation facility, this villa for sale in Cortona represents a rare investment opportunity in the most authentic heart of Tuscany.
