Description

Situated in the valley beneath Cortona in Tuscany in a development of only 12 new and restored homes, this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom property is part of a 17th century farmhouse lovingly restored some 10 years ago using only original or reclaimed materials.

The original farmhouse is divided into 7 unique dwellings and the property is one of only two built on three floors. It has an open plan ground floor with fully fitted kitchen, dining area and living room with fireplace. There is also a cloakroom with shower on this level.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub, as well as a door concealing a staircase to the second floor. This magnificent space, taking up the whole second floor with its original beams and a vaulted ceiling, makes an impressive and very private master bedroom with ensuite shower room and plenty of room for a sitting area as well.

Outside, the house has its own 120m sq south facing garden which gives all year sunshine and a covered patio area which enables you to enjoy "al fresco" lunches even on winter days. The garden has a sprinkler and irrigation system, with its hedges and lawn cut regularly as part of the service charges.

The communal grounds are sympathetically landscaped to reflect the rural setting and are well maintained. There is a wonderful swimming pool complex with a 20m pool, indoor and outdoor showers and toilet facilities. There are beautiful views of Cortona and the valley. There is covered parking for residents and guests.
