Arco Farmhouse in Montepulciano, Siena, Tuscany – MTP240

Unfinished farmhouse in a stunning setting, offering scope for personalisation between Montepulciano and Montefollonico, Siena — Tuscany REF. MTP240 In one of the quietest and most picturesque corners of southern Tuscany, just a few minutes from Montepulciano and Montefollonico, stands this extraordinary rural estate of ancient origins. The estate sits atop a secluded hill, overlooking the golden expanse of the Val di Chiana, in a landscape where the light changes with the seasons but the sense of tranquillity never wavers. The main building is a stately two-storey farmhouse, with solid stone and brick walls and an open-air external staircase — a structure that tells the story of centuries of rural life and now awaits reinvention. Adjacent to it is a detached farm outbuilding with elegant round arches — the expressive heart of the entire property, from which the farm takes its name — and two further agricultural sheds. The total built area is around 1,100 square metres, plus approximately 120 square metres for the outbuilding, all set within some 35 hectares of agricultural land comprising arable fields, centuries-old olive groves, woodland and pastures. The potential lies in a complete transformation: a private country residence of the highest calibre, a farm with a holiday cottage, or a small private hamlet with self-contained flats — the original floor plan would allow for the creation of over thirty rooms, but the derelict state of the property offers complete design freedom to anyone wishing to impose their own vision on this site. The property is accessed via a 1.3 km unpaved track, in a location offering complete privacy, just 5 km from local amenities and less than an hour from Perugia Airport and the Val d’Orcia.
