Cortona, Tuscany 52044

Farmhouse of about 200 square meters with open space in a panoramic hill in Cortona with land.Description:The farmhouse is located in an extremely panoramic area on the hills of Cortona. It is developed as a single body on 2 levels for about 200 square meters, and is composed as follows: on the ground floor there is access to a large open-space living room with large panoramic windows overlooking the valley and a height of over 4 meters. From this area there is access to the terrace and to the rooms currently used as a bedroom and kitchen. There are many French doors that allow you to enjoy the outdoor space easily in the warmer months. An internal stone staircase leads to the basement with a room with brick arches, a recently renovated bathroom with shower and a first cellar. Through external accesses there are two other rooms used as a cellar/laundry and woodshed/technical room. A last cellar connected to the farmhouse leads to the external canopy.Accessory equipment:On the external land there are two outbuildings to be rebuilt that offer a good volume to create garages, small outbuildings or other volumes.Condition and finishes:The property is in good condition, renovated in the 70s/80s. However, it needs work on the finishes and systems, as it does not have a heating system (at the moment it has wood and pellet stoves). The farmhouse offers many possibilities for renovation on the interior spaces. The exterior is currently plastered but can be restored by bringing the original stone back to view. The roof was redone in the 70s but can be revised to insulate it and bring it up to current standards. The high ceilings are with exposed wooden beams and terracotta tiles. The floors are simple tiles. Water system fed by a working well.Outer space:The property has 2200 square meters of courtyard and a further 15, 600 square meters of land divided between olive groves, woods and chestnut groves. There are about 200 olive trees.Potential uses:The farmhouse differs from the classic Tuscan style by having windows and interior spaces out of the ordinary, ideal for creating modern and bright environments. The property is perfect for use as a first or second home as it is located in a quiet and panoramic area. Given its proximity to the town of Cortona, it is also ideal as a tourist rental to be included in the short-term rental circuit.Location & Lifestyle:Located in a dominant position overlooking Cortona and the valley, this historic property enjoys peace and privacy, 10 minutes from the hamlet of Camucia and 13 from the historic center. The road leading to the property is about 2km long (paved and unpaved), in some places steep as typical in the area.
