Description:
In the harmonious hills of Siena surrounded by cornfields and sunflowers, along with vineyards and centuries-old woods, lies a characteristic Tuscan farmhouse that impresses with exposed wooden beams, brick arches, and stone exteriors. With a main house and 10 apartments, totally 1,082 square meters, the farmhouse currently functions as an agriturismo but could easily be converted into a single large family residence if desired. It is also suitable for conversion into a hotel by dividing the large apartments and transforming the old stables (340 m2) and the tobacconist (80 m2) into apartments or suites.
The current owner is particularly attentive to eco-sustainability, and is a member of a biogas renewable energy plant (not included in the sale) that was awarded the Carbon Free 2015 award by the Terre di Siena Association. The renewable energy plant powers the heating, hot water, and the swimming pool. Of particular importance are two artesian wells located on the property (included in the sale) which guarantee all the water needs of the house, the swimming pool and irrigation, with considerable savings on the related cost.
The farmhouse is located in a quiet, sunny but breezy hilly area. The country house is surrounded by a large garden, with large trees, aromatic plants and flowers, and is bordered by fields and a beautiful forest. In the immediate vicinity there is the renowned Royal Golf La Bagnaia, the Petriolo and Rapolano spas, and finally you have the possibility of horse riding in an adjacent riding school. Holidays have never been so beautiful, but living there year-round would also become a dream come true.
Location:
The farmhouse, surrounded by 20 hectares of land, is an oasis of peace and tranquility in uncontaminated nature, but at the same time easily accessible thanks to the proximity of the SS223 (E78) state road which connects Siena to Grosseto and the sea. The property provides exceptional location within the Tuscan Golden Triangle: Siena, Florence and Volterra.
It is located just south of Siena, a famous tourist city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a walk through the cobbled streets of the city and enjoy its thousand-year history, rich in art and renowned cuisine. Piazza del Campo is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world, just as its Gothic-style cathedral is unique and fascinating. You will be able to enjoy Italy’s oldest and most famous horse race, the Palio di Siena, which takes place twice a year.
Distance:
A short distance away you can visit other Tuscan pearls such as Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra and Montalcino, famous for the wine that bears its name. The property is 15 km from Siena, 10 km from the airport for private flights, 70 km from the sea. Florence is only 70 km away and Umbria 90 km away, always on the highway.
