Castiglione d'Orcia, Tuscany

Reference: KPMQ-T2161. This beautiful stone farmhouse enjoys a unique view over the Val d'Orcia from sunrise to sunset. On the ground floor we enter the house through a large 23 sqm porch, equipped to be a sitting room to admire and enjoy the spectacular view. From here, entering the house we find two bedrooms with their respective bathrooms and a very useful storage room under the stairs. With independent external access there is a garage of about 30 square metres, currently partly equipped as laundry room and pantry/cellar. It is possible to reach the upper floor either by internal or external staircase. On this floor there is a large bright open space used as a living room with fireplace, dining room and kitchenette, as well as an adjacent study. In total, the enclosed living area is 128 sqm. Both in summer and winter you can admire the panorama, in fact even on winter days with the fireplace lit, you can contemplate the Val d'Orcia from the windows overlooking the valley. In addition to the porch on the ground floor, on the upper floor there is also a terrace of about 30 square metres with a wisteria pergola where you can dine in the fresh outdoors. The spectacle that this land offers is fascinating in every season and time of day because it offers unique colours and atmospheres, in fact since 2004 the Val dOrcia, including this municipality, has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This amazing view will remain unchanged forever as no additional buildings are allowed. Next to the farmhouse, also in a panoramic position, there is the 10 x 4 metre saltwater pool with its undergound machine room nearby, a jacuzzi for 5 persons and a solar shower. From here on summer evenings you can even admire the Milky Way and the many stars, thanks to the absence of light pollution. The property is completed by a well-kept garden with a drop irrigation system and land with 38 olive trees and a few fruit trees on a total of 8600 square metres. The property probably dates back to around 1800 and has undergone several renovations. The current owners in 2021-2022 have fitted new chestnut doors and windows with thermal glass, put in mosquito nets, refurbished a salt water swimming pool system and put in a new liner, installed the jacuzzi, external light points and a camera system, planched and handcrafted iron gate and a travertine bench overlooking the valley. The style of the farmhouse respects Tuscan tradition with a touch of elegance, with terracotta floors, a travertine step, beamed ceilings and external stone walls. The property is connected to all utilities. Water is supplied by the public aqueduct, and there is also a well for collecting rainwater. Heating is powered by LPG, and a wood-burning fireplace can also be used in the living room. Internet connection (Starlink) is available. The property can be used as a first home and is perfect as a holiday residence. It is also very interesting to be inserted in the tourist rental circuit, given its location in one of the most famous areas of Tuscany. The farmhouse is located 10 minutes from the first centre with services. The property is a perfect starting point for exploring the Val d'Orcia and also the Brunello vineyards and enjoying the excellent food and wine of those areas, as well as for hiking in the beautiful beech woods of Monte Amiata, where there are also ski slopes. In a maximum of 10-30 minutes you can reach Bagno Vignoni, San Quirico d'Orcia, the Bagni San Filippo spa, Pienza, Montepulciano, and Montalcino.
