Luxury Home With Magical Charme

The property, walking distance from the ancient village of Castelmuzio, is located on the imaginary border line that divides the Natural Park of the Val d’Orcia and the Crete Senesi, with a landscape witch is simply phenomenal. The building, originally a monastery and then a farmhouse, is believed to have been built before the year 1000 as a hostel for the nearby church, where monks resided to host knights and pilgrims heading to Rome or the East. Over the following centuries it underwent various transformations, until it took on the shape of the current home with an extremely contemporary interior, preserving all its history on the outside. The architectural features of the past, beams, rafters and wide arches, have been harmoniously combined with modern elements such as high ceilings, square rooms and large windows, thanks to a complex and sophisticated renovation. The house is embellished with absolutely unique pieces of art and design elements that reflect the passion for architecture and interior design of the owners. The ground floor is entirely occupied by a large living area with two large living rooms, the dining room, a spacious and functional kitchen, and a powder room. On the upper floor, which can also be reached by an external staircase, three bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms, allow guests to enjoy total privacy. On the same floor there is also a second living area with an elegant fire place, a study and a large terrace overlooking the garden and the countryside surrounding the property. The fourth bedroom can be created in the poetic attic, also with a private bathroom. A suite is located on the ground floor, with private access directly from the garden. The property is completed by two annexes, one is a library, and in the other one there is a wellness area with a large window overlooking a very suggestive view of the sanctuary of Sant’Anna in Camprena. The courtyard, intentionally kept with simplicity, transmits all the typicality of Tuscany with olive trees, cypresses and fruit trees, and adorned with roses, lavender and rosemary. From here you can enjoy an unparalleled view of Pienza and Monte Amiata. The careful renovation also took into account the importance of energy efficiency, bringing the property to class B: the house is totally electric, with an induction kitchen and thermo-regulation with a heating and cooling system with a heat pump, underfloor and on the wall.

The property is located a few minutes from the village of Castelmuzio, a romantic medieval village between Pienza and Trequanda where you can find a restaurant, a bar, the bank and a supermarket. This small corner of Siena’s county has been revalued in the recent years for the beauty of its countryside, its history and the ease with which you can reach the art cities of Montepulciano and Siena, the natural park of Val d’Orcia (a UNESCO heritage site), the spa towns of Bagno Vignoni and Chianciano Terme and the proximity to the main communication routes to reach the cities of Florence and Rome and their airports.
