Rustico Cortona

CORTONA – Nestled in the rolling hills near historic Cortona—in a private, panoramic, yet easily accessible location—stands this enchanting stone farmhouse, complete with an outbuilding, swimming pool, olive grove, and extensive private grounds. The property is immersed in a stunning natural setting, offering direct views of Cortona’s skyline silhouetted against the facing hill, while the house is sheltered at the rear by mountains that protect it from cold winds.

The main residence, spanning approximately 200 m² across two levels, is laid out as follows:

Ground floor: a spacious living room with a dining area, a kitchen with direct access to the garden, a restroom, and an adjoining oven area ideal for pizzas and roasts.

First floor: a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a second double bedroom, and a bathroom.

The property includes an outbuilding of approximately 80 m²; currently registered as a storage unit, it could easily be converted into a comfortable small home for guests or family members. The structure is in excellent condition, requiring only interior finishing work (systems, wall/floor coverings, and fixtures).

The pool area—currently featuring a removable wooden deck—is already designated and could potentially be relocated. A reinforced concrete pool could also be built according to personal preference.

The surrounding land measures approximately 16,600 m² and consists primarily of olive groves and woodland. A private road leads to the house; while it requires refurbishment (a rural-style asphalt surface is recommended), access remains easy. Installing lighting along the driveway would further enhance the property’s welcoming atmosphere. Overall, this is a compact yet very well-organized property, perfect for those seeking tranquility, nature, and an authentic Tuscan lifestyle within easy reach of essential amenities.
