Description
Nestled in the picturesque heart of Tuscany, in the charming village of Castel Focognano, lies this inviting 4-bedroom country home. Built nearly a century ago from local natural stone, this property promises a slice of Tuscan life that will transport you back in time. As you turn into the private driveway shaded by chestnut trees, the tranquility of the area immediately takes hold. It's a place where the gentle rustling of leaves and the sweet chirping of birds fills the air, creating a serene backdrop to everyday living.
Life in the Casentino valley, known for its lush green landscapes, offers a pleasing balance between seclusion and accessibility. With the prominent rock of the abbey La Verna of St. Francis framing your view, every glance around you is a reminder of Italy's rich history and stunning natural beauty. The house itself sits at 500 meters above sea level, providing a temperate climate that's mild and enjoyable through most of the year.
Entering the ground floor, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance room featuring a cozy fireplace—perfect for chilly autumn evenings. A few steps lead you into a fully equipped kitchen that invites lively culinary explorations. To the right sits a spacious living room, boasting another fireplace and direct access to a bathroom equipped with a tub, alongside an anteroom featuring a washing machine. A wooden staircase ascends to the upper floor; however, external stairs also provide access for a bit of Tuscan flair.
Upstairs, a second living area further extends your comfort with its own fireplace—a fitting place for relaxation or hosting guests. From here, three well-sized bedrooms provide ample space for family or visitors, and a second bathroom with a shower offers convenience and privacy. The upper floor also hosts a portico oven, enticing the thought of homemade pizzas or freshly-baked bread, all under a Tuscan sunset.
Venturing outside, a broad terrace spills out to a swimming pool (10 x 5 m), offering refreshing dips during warm Italian summers. On the north side, a shaded porch gives you a spot to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or an evening glass of local wine. Not far from the home, an orchard filled with fruit trees serves as both a charming feature and a source for fresh, seasonal produce.
The house is well-equipped for modern living with electricity, broadband internet through satellite, a reliable gas heating system, and its own water well. Recent renovations include re-roofing and new windows with heat-laminated glass, ensuring efficiency without the hassle of immediate upkeep. An entirely fenced-in property, it provides security and privacy, making it ideal for families.
Distances from this property mean city conveniences are never far; with just a quick 2 km drive to the local village and a 6 km trip to Rassina for shopping necessities. The larger city of Arezzo is only 28 km away, a cultural hub with dining and educational facilities, while the historic allure of Florence lies about 70 km to the northwest.
Living in Castel Focognano offers a quiet countryside lifestyle, where the pace is gentle, and life is richly satisfying amidst rolling hills and historical scenery. The local area provides numerous activities, from hiking the trails in national parks to exploring ancient sites, or simply enjoying the laid-back cafe culture in nearby towns. The community is warm and welcoming, often gathering for festivals that celebrate their heritage and cuisine.
This property is primed for overseas buyers looking to embrace the Tuscan life, without the overwhelming task of a full-scale renovation project. Yet, there’s plenty of potential to personalize and make this home distinctly yours. The mix of tranquility, modern amenities, and access to adventure makes this property a choice opportunity for those seeking a home away from home.
