Description
On the green hills that mark the access to Casentino, not far from Subbiano and Arezzo, rustic farmhouse with event area for sale. The property, finely restored by the current owners, is perfect both as a private residence and as an investment: the farmhouse could in fact be inhabited while using the old barn for events and weddings. The 3.5 hectares of land surrounding the villa include a well-kept garden and an olive grove.
The property for sale is situated a very short distance from the charming medieval village of Subbiano, not far from Arezzo, and most services can be reached on foot. The train station in Arezzo makes it easy to get around much of Italy (in one hour you can get to Florence and in about two hours to Rome).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (440 sqm – 4,734 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is on three levels:
- Ground floor: entrance, living room with fireplace, dining area with kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. With independent access from outside (or directly from inside) we then find a small independent apartment made up of kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
- First floor: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three bedrooms (two with en-suite bathroom) and service bathroom;
- Second floor: gym (with air conditioning), bathroom with Jacuzzi and partially habitable attic (very suitable for creating a small additional bedroom).
Opposite the pool is a guesthouse (40 sqm – 430 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) organised as a studio with living room/bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom.
Not far from the farmhouse, there is a newly built facility (400 sqm – 4,304 sqft, 4 bathrooms) used for weddings, parties and events, with a maximum capacity of 180 people. Built in 2015 using the volumes of the old demolished barn, the building is on two levels. The ground floor is entirely occupied by a large hall (over 200 sqm) with a fireplace and a mezzanine with a view, while the basement houses the service area with bathrooms, a professional kitchen and a dressing room with bathroom for employees.
STATE AND FINISHES
The farmhouse was completely renovated in 2004, while the adjacent barn was entirely rebuilt in 2015. Both structures underwent careful renovation and construction, which only used excellent and state-of-the-art materials, fully respecting the typical Tuscan style.
The farmhouse features an LPG-fed heating system, while the event location has been fitted with a hot/cold heat pump system fed by a 14.5-kW photovoltaic system. The water supply is ensured by the public aqueduct and two Artesian wells.
EXTERIORS
The farmhouse is surrounded by a 4,700-sqm well-kept garden, fully enclosed by a fence and planted with hedges and ornamental flowers. On the lower terrace, just below the farmhouse, is the panoramic 11 × 5 m swimming pool with a splendid view of the surrounding hills. Adjacent to the event location is a convenient private car park (approx. 2,500 sqm) that can accommodate up to fifty vehicles.
The property is completed by a small olive grove (1.8 ha), located on the slope below the pool and terraced so as to make the most of the available space, and two small portions of woodland (1.0 ha) that ensure privacy and shelter the farmhouse from prying eyes.
