Description
Situated in a dominating position above Sarteano with breathtaking views of the town which is within walking distance of the property. It is very rare to find a property so close to town that is both absolutely private and in a perfect location. The property includes the main house, a cottage and 2 annexes including a swimming pool and over 14 hectares of land. All the terraces around the buildings have been beautifully landscaped, bordered by dry stone walls and providing wonderful pathways to find secluded patches to enjoy the panorama and perfect privacy between the buildings. The main house may need some updating whereas the cottage was restored recently and provides an ideal investment for summer rentals or extra family accommodation.
Area:
Sarteano, situated on a high plain between the Val d’Orcia and the Val di Chiana is a mere 6 km. from the A1 at Chiusi/Chianciano and almost halfway between Rome and Florence and it therefore a perfect location either for a permanent or second home. The town itself is still a very genuine medieval town with some notable buildings, including the medieval Castle crowning it all and a tiny, perfectly restored, renaissance theatre, providing ample services, great restaurants and lovely people. The property is approached by a short avenue leading off the main road and up to a wide parking area with separate gravelled access to each of the buildings.
Land:
There are 14.1 hectares of land including 250 olives in a field below the property, the rest is mostly woodland covering the hillside behind the buildings. The swimming pool area has been completely enclosed by a high stone wall on one side and fencing on the others.
