Sublime estate near Tuscany

This stunning estate estate comprises two wonderful authentic country houses. It is situated on a hillside where they enjoy the lovely view of the valley below. Though the oldest part dates back to the 11th century it comes as no surprise that both buildings seem untouched by time. The wide stone walls, some up to one meter wide, and sturdy tower easily withstand the seasons. A tasteful renovation some 20 years ago preserved the characteristic ceiling beams, bricks and other ancient features. It added light, space and comfort and and created a warm and and inviting home. It will offer you:

• a perfect location to easily enjoy Tuscany, Umbria and Le Marche
• a property that offers multiple options for the usage
• surprisingly large bright open spaces perfect for entertaining, families or rental
• a wonderful private location with open views
• an absolutely meticulous property in perfect condition

The buildings

The first house upon entering the property features plenty of rooms and spreads out over four levels.  The spaces are both cozy and pleasant and thanks to a compact lay-out the house is really very liveable.

The ground floor is made up of a comfortable living room, a designer kitchen, an impressive library, a guest bedroom and bathroom with shower, and a master bedroom. This bedroom enjoys doors which open directly onto the porch and it has a private bathroom with bath. The first floor offers a spacious laundry room which can easily be used as a bedroom, a walk-in closet with all the plumbing in place to be changed into a bathroom, a good size bedroom with en-suite sitting area and private bathroom. A large balcony with staircase into the garden offers private access to the first floor.
The second floor features two cozy bedrooms both with a balcony and a view. These rooms share the use of the spacious bathroom with hydromassage bath in the top of the tower.

The second house offers high ceilings and very large ground floor areas, which combines perfectly with the beautiful archways and modern open lay-out. The ground floor features a living room with a magnificent stone fire place and garden doors, a very spacious open design kitchen, a dining area with doors to the porch, a bathroom and bedroom.
The first floor offers a lovely sitting room again with a stone fireplace, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a second fully equipped kitchen. A traditional stone staircase on the outside leads up to the first floor loggia and ensures private access.

If desired one or both houses can be rented out separately as each of them has its own gas and electricity meter. One of the houses uses solar energy.

The grounds

The estate can be reached following a well maintained gravel road up to the electric gate. The wide paved driveway leads up directly to the back of the buildings. There is ample and convenient parking at a short distance of both entrances. A wide stone porch wraps around the houses and is an ideal place to absorb both the sun and the view and works great as a delightful meeting  place between the two homes.  The beautifully designed gardens offer plenty of enchanting places to retreat and relax.  The impressive pool area lies at a nice distance and offers open views while enjoying a private and sheltered position.  The extra large pool features a jumping board and dividing wall between the deep and shallow part. It is absolutely perfect for any age, party or family reunion.
Water for the pool and irrigation system is supplied by various deep wells and pumps.
