Description
Description:
Situated between Radicofani and Celle sul Rigo with sweeping views that take in the dramatic ‘crete’ and the softer hillsides towards San Casciano dei Bagni and Celle sul Rigo, the property is approached by a short lane offering complete privacy whilst not being isolated. The house is surrounded by lavish, mature gardens including an area for outdoor eating and some formal hedging. The swimming pool is situated in a private area above the house to get the most of the view. The property underwent major restoration work including underpinning, a new insulated roof and completely new interiors about 15 years ago and has been maintained immaculately since then.
N.B – There is also the option to purchase a further 2.080 sq.m. of land with a vegetable garden and even more spectacular views, price on request.
Area:
The hillside surrounding the house is known as Le Vigne because there were once vineyards so the climate is particularly mild compared to the surrounding area. Situated south of the imposing Radicofani, topped by the ancient fortress that is a landmark for the whole of southern Tuscany, it also has a beautiful Romanesque church and plentiful services for every day living. San Casciano dei Bagni further south is famous for the thermal spa where you can luxuriate in the hot thermal pool and choose an array of massages, equally well known are the restaurants and craft shops.

The garden and pool 12 x 6 m. take up about 2,000 sq.m.
