Description
Farmhouse with pool in a unique panoramic setting
This ancient farmhouse has been magnificently renovated and now appears as a country house of 981 sqm. that perfectly combines tradition and elegance with the most modern comforts, such as underfloor heating and cooling systems, solar panels, domotics, a lift connecting the ground floor to the first floor and a 20x5 meter panoramic infinity pool with salt system and hot water system predisposition. The house has large, bright, arched windows and French windows overlooking the wide, fully-fenced garden. On the ground floor we find the kitchen with central island, fully equipped with modern appliances, which opens onto the dining area and the outdoor pergola where there is another cooking space, ideal for al fresco dining. Also on the ground floor is a large living room with a fireplace, a lounge/office, a music/cinema/tv room, a service bathroom for the living area, a pantry room with access to the laundry and utility room, a room with an antique wood-burning oven, a workshop/hobby area and an outdoor courtyard. All the living areas on the ground floor are spacious and bright, connected in a harmonious and linear manner with direct access to the garden and swimming pool. Also on the ground floor, in a more private and separate area, are two large, bright bedrooms, one with a dressing room, large arched French window overlooking the garden and bathroom with shower, and the other one with large arched window and access to the garden, bathroom with double sinks, bath and shower. An internal staircase or the lift lead to the first floor: here there is a gallery with sitting room, from where there is access to the two double bedrooms, large, bright and with en-suite bathroom, and a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and with private access from an external staircase. All the rooms are spacious, high ceilings and wooden beams, and each has a private bathroom with window, elegant finishes and wall-hung bathroom fittings. Part of the first floor, about 186 square meters, is separate but already equipped with fixtures and an insulated roof; all that remains is is the interior finishing, to be customised according to one's needs. This beautiful farmhouse has been renovated with great attention to anti-seismic standards, acoustic parameters and energy saving. The great thickness of its walls, which are well insulated, contains the dispersion of heat in winter periods and reduces the need for cooling in summer periods, maintaining an ideal temperature inside at all times. The property also includes another building of approximately 270 sqm, currently used as a farm vehicle shed and storage area. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof of this property with a system that produces energy both for the needs of the farmhouse but also to be resold on the energy market.
This marvellous farmhouse is located in the heart of the Tuscan hills, in the charming countryside of Volterra, appreciated by all for its gentle hills planted with wheat, alternating with cypresses, olive trees and the typical 'balze'. From every window it is possible to enjoy a breathtaking unique panorama, which at a glance makes you feel in tune with nature. The farmhouse is surrounded by approximately 98 ha of land, mainly planted with orchards, olive groves with 600 olive trees that produce an excellent Tuscan extra virgin olive oil, arable land, pasture land and woodland. Within the property there are three lakes that meet all irrigation needs; there are also 2 tanks for collecting rainwater, a spring water well and connection to the municipal water supply. This property is reached by a perfectly maintained white road of about 5 km and has about 4.5 hectares of parkland around the farmhouse that is completely fenced off and equipped with 2 automatic driveway gates and 1 manual. The position is barycentric to Tuscany, so that the property is easily accessible from the airports of Florence (75 km) and Pisa (71 km), and is about 40 km from the Tyrrhenian coast, 20 km from San Gimignano, 45 km from Siena, and 27 km from the Castelfalfi Golf Club. The main services such as restaurants and shops are only 30 minutes away.
