This picturesque home, isolated yet accessible, provides breathtaking views of the rolling hills and olive-green expanses of the Italian countryside and yet, the thriving heart of Cortona is a mere 3.5 km away.
Cortona, the idyllic medieval town, known for its enriched culture and history is a dream come true for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and admirers of Italian cuisine. With the town's bustling marketplace and its dynamic array of cafes, traditional trattorias, and wine tasting spots, living here can be a culinary fairytale. Despite the serenity, Cortona is vibrant with a warm, welcoming community. An overseas buyer would discover not only the charm of rustic Italian life, but also the comfort of modern facilities, and service that the township has to offer.
Having a peaceful and warm Mediterranean climate is another delightful perk of this location. Imagine your sunny afternoons spent by the olive trees and clear, stunning star-lit nights at the hilltop. The winters aren’t harsh either; it's cozy and surprisingly pleasant. Living in Tuscany is living in a painting, a world sculpted by nature and man in harmony.
Taking the serenity of Italian countryside a notch higher, is the sheer expansive beauty of this property’s private land. Covering two hectares, the land boasts of 150 olive trees, a grand testament to the layer within its Italian roots.
Casale San Pietro’s loving restoration work was completed in 2003, where every nook and corner of the heritage property was carefully renewed, from the foundations to the stone facades and the roof. All of these, rebuilt and insulated while preserving its innate charm, then carefully masked with classic terracotta tiles and bricks. The interiors further maintain the style of Tuscan country houses with its exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and a brick fireplace, striking the perfect balance between rustic and modern comforts.
The property is designed on two levels featuring a traditional external staircase leading to an apartment on the first floor. This space is ready to be inhabited, boasting of a cozy living area, complete with a fireplace that adds to the rustic charm of the property. It also includes two bedrooms and a bathroom designed to provide comfort and convenience.
The ground floor, while not fully completed, presents an exciting project for customization, with two rooms ready to be transformed into spaces that meet your exact needs and style preferences. The opportunity doesn’t stop with the interior, as potential development on the property's grounds includes the option to expand the structure by 220 cubic meters as well as construct a swimming pool. This offers the potential for the creation of an elegant country residence with an open panoramic view, perfect for private use or to host tourists during their holidays.
