Description
Beneath the the traditional exterior of this farmhouse there are some wonderful surprises in this delightful, quirky house. Lots of colour, a blend of traditional and modern with some truly unique fittings – a genuine eastern throne WC and the highlight the splendid double height room on the ground floor which has arched windows on either side and currently serves as a meditation/massage space. Underfloor heating has been laid and air conditioning wired but both need to he hooked up. The accommodation is very flexible and could be suited to many different needs. Currently, the living room, kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom are on the first floor. Internally a circular staircase leads down to the ground floor which has been restored to provide further accommodation as well as the splendid massage room.
Area:
The property is situated about 2.7 km from Castelmuzio and 50 km from Siena. It is a particularly beautiful area both for the stunning countryside, well documented in ‘The English Patient’ filmed around Sant’Anna in Camprena, but also for the charming medieval towns that surround it; Montisi, Castelmuzio, Petroio and Montefollonico where there are a series of cultural events, cooking schools and a thriving international community.
Land:
The house is surrounded by almost 1 ha. of land designed more for relaxation and fun than any agricultural activity and including a round, thatch covered space, a tree house, fountain with pond and some covered work spaces and a path in the cool of the woods below the house.
