Description
Classic Leopoldino style, situated just a few kilometres south of Cetona in beautiful open countryside. Restored and reinforced in 1993, it is in excellent condition with some particularly interesting vaulting in some of the main living areas. Other than the main building there is a barbecue area, a secondary building used as a taverna and cantina, a cottage transformed into a gym area and a large barn for agricultural use. The buildings are surrounded by approximately 15.53 hectares of land though there is the option of purchasing just the buildings without all the land for €1,200,000.
Area:
Cetona has always been a favourite destination for a second home, many actors, artists and politicians chose it as witnessed by some of the lovely homes that surround it. It is easy to see why, the rich foliage and gentle slopes covered in vineyards and olive groves are a strong attraction together with easy access from both Rome and Florence via the A1 autostrada or train to Chiusi with a direct line to both. The town itself has a wide 17th century square, in summertime buzzing with excellent dining in the many bistros and restaurants. The medieval part of town rises above the square with the obligatory castle surmounting it all.
Land:
The buildings are surrounded by 15.53 ha. agricultural land including an olive grove with around 200 mature trees producing an excellent olive oil. It is possible to purchase the property without all the land but including the buildings and the small olive grove to the rear of the house.
