Arezzo, Tuscany 52100

This unique former watch tower for sale is situated in the Casentino valley close to the city Arezzo in Tuscany. The ancient tower dates back to the 12th century, was built on solid rock and recently turned into an impressive residence. Skillful landscaping provides a natural garden with cypress trees on several terraces, sitting areas and a beautiful swimming pool below the tower. The pool is fed by the property's own spring water, which runs in a cascade out of the rock throughout the year. The surrounding meadows and woodland offer privacy and a short white road leads to a nearby hamlet. The lower floor is accessible via a small iron bridge and offers a cosy eat-in kitchen, a separate bedroom and living area with en-suite bathroom and a second bedroom on the south side of the tower. The floors are combined by a metal staircase, which adds a clean and elegant flair to the tower's interior. A wooden mezzanine floor, which divides the tower's interior space horizontally, turns the upper floor into a spacious living/sleeping area with imposing ceiling structure and open fireplace, bathroom, laundry and access to the roof-deck. The roof-deck faces south and offers beautiful views across the hills. A barbecue, wood-fired oven and a pergola are located in the garden next to the tower on south. Power connection 10 kW.
