Description
Stunning early 20th-century Art Nouveau villa with Italian garden, riding stables and swimming pool in dominant position in Tuscany
Description
The villa is a splendid example of the liberty style and is on three levels for a total of about 1000 square meters. On the ground floor, around the splendid central atrium with the elegant staircase leading to the upper floor, there are finely furnished studios and lounges that restore the luxurious atmosphere of the 20th century, a very large kitchen with splendid hearth, as well as two rooms partly modernized for daily use. On the upper floor is the sleeping area with bedrooms and bathrooms. On the top level there is an attic floor with excellent heights in need of renovation to then get to the beautiful turret that offers an evocative 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape of the Tuscan hills. In the basement, however, there are large cellars that lend themselves to different types of destination.
Outbuildings
The villa enjoys a beautiful winter garden of about 330 square meters with parquet floors and beautiful windows, a spacious garage box and a horse box in perfect condition with saddle room and grass and sand paddock.
Outdoor spaces
Surrounding the villa is a splendid park of about 14 hectares with a well-kept Italian garden with an elegant period fountain, swimming pool with showers, about 250 olive trees, 4 hectares of vineyard and many aviaries that are currently home to rare and exotic bird species. Completing the outdoor spaces are the various horse paddocks placed in flat areas.
Condition and finishes
The interiors restore the elegance and luxury of early 20th-century villas with level finishes such as marble grit and parquet floors, original wrought iron railings and stucco work. The facade has retained the typical plaster of Art Nouveau villas, utilities are all connected, systems are working, and heating is by air and oil-fired radiators.
Potential uses
The property lends itself to a unique location for events and ceremonies and could also become a wonderful accommodation in the form of boutique hotel exploiting the current rooms and with the possibility of obtaining new ones by taking advantage of the large volumes and the attic floor. It also turns out to be ideal for horse enthusiasts who are looking for a property as a first or second home, enjoying boxes and paddocks in perfect condition.
Location and lifestyle
The property remains set in the unique context of lower Tuscany, in a flat portion in the panoramic setting of the Val di Chiana countryside, with a dominant position. It enjoys the proximity to the village where all the necessary services can be found, and that to the highway exit just 10 minutes away. Not far away there is also the freeway that connects Siena and Perugia, as well as the beautiful medieval city of Arezzo just 20 minutes away. The villa, therefore, is perfectly dropped between the most touristic and cultural area of lower Tuscany whose main centers such as Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza, Monticchiello and Lucignano can be reached in a maximum of 40 minutes, and the one with more connections to easily move to the main cities such as Siena, Florence, Perugia and Rome.
