Timeless Residence In The Crete Senesi

Set among the iconic rolling hills of the Crete Senesi, this traditional Tuscan farmhouse awaits the hands that will revive its authentic spirit rich of history and bring it back to its original glory. Overlooking what were once the cultivated fields of the Fattoria di Radi, the property boasts a timeless landscape that shifts with the seasons, revealing a painter’s palette of colours and textures throughout the year. Accessed via a brief stretch of gravel road along the path of the famed “Strade Bianche”, the farmhouse occupies a commanding yet peaceful position, surrounded by 900 carefully arranged olive trees. The building has retained its architectural soul over the centuries and still reveals the layers of its evolution. Its square footprint hints at an original tower over which the house was built, while the internal courtyard, arched openings, thick stone walls, and wooden beams bear witness to its rural legacy. The residence is spread across two levels. On the ground floor, a spacious living area unfolds beneath a succession of elegant, polished arches, centred around a marble fireplace. The adjacent kitchen, complete with a generous dining area, opens directly onto a paved terrace — ideal for al fresco dining under a leafy pergola. Upstairs, four bedrooms — all with en-suite bathrooms — and a central sitting area offer warm, welcoming spaces. Outside, the grounds are divided into distinct zones that reflect the property’s long history: a lawned garden, a terraced area with panoramic views, and an olive grove that wraps around the estate, with a small reservoir for irrigation at its edge. Two annexes, currently used for technical systems, a gym, storage, and a meditation room, offer flexibility and could be adapted to suit a variety of needs — from guest accommodation to creative studios or wellness spaces. A large lean-to beside the main house provides additional parking or a shaded outdoor area for relaxing or entertaining. Although the last renovation was completed roughly 30 years ago, the property maintains a strong sense of identity and individuality. Some structural work will be required due to signs of aging and past damage, but the core remains solid. The interiors reflect a slightly eclectic design approach, offering personality and charm — ready to be updated and reimagined to suit personal taste.

The property is about 5 min from the town of Monteroni d’Arbia, with all the main services. It is also situated about 15 min from Siena, 30 min from the highway, 10 min from the freeway that connects Siena with Perugia and Florence and about 1 hour from the main airports.
