Farmhouse overlooking Pienza and the Val d’Orcia

Set in a landscape of unique beauty, this farmhouse represents exactly what people dream of owning when coming to Tuscany. The farmhouse is reached after a couple of kilometres of easily traversable white road that ends exactly at the property, located at the top of a hill from which you can enjoy an incomparable view of Pienza, the Val d’Orcia and the surrounding countryside. The garden, in the shade of maritime pines and other tall trees, is entirely fenced and well maintained; colourful flowers are planted all around along with fruit trees. The 5 hectares of land surrounding the house, in addition to some arable land, a pond and a little wood, also include a vineyard of about 1 ha and 650 olive trees, for a domestic production of oil and wine, being more of a hobby and a privilege for the owners than a real source of income. On the ground floor of the house there is a large living room with a beautiful fireplace, the kitchen, a small apartment with both internal and external access and the billiard room from which you also access the cellar, where there are barrels for aging the wine. Upstairs, which can also be reached externally by a beautiful stone staircase, there are 6 other bedrooms from whose windows you can admire the stunning views of the Val d’Orcia, and another living room with a fireplace. The house needs a serious renovation at the level of the foundations; There is already a project to consolidate the settlement as well as a project to build a swimming pool, both not included in the purchase price. This property offers the opportunity to build a dream home in a position like no other.

The farmahouse is located between the medieval town of Monticchiello and the well-known artistic places of Pienza and Montepulciano, which are only a few minutes’ drive away. The area, which over the years has become one of the most exclusive in Tuscany, offers many recreational activities ranging from horseback riding, trekking and the increasingly common bike tours among the suggestive paths of the Val d’Orcia. Restaurants and wine bars with increasingly sophisticated menus and wine lists give the opportunity to appreciate the food and wine traditions of this corner of Tuscany, often enriched by visits to the historic cellars of Vino Nobile and Brunello di Montalcino. For wellness lovers, it is a must to visit the Bagno Vignoni Spa, with the characteristic Roman bath in the centre of the town, and the thermal pools of Chianciano Terme. The property can be reached easily from both North and South, the airports of Rome and Florence are less than 2 hours away by car, the A1 highway is about 20km away. The nearest train station, about 25 minutes by car, is in Chiusi, with local or fast trains to all the most important Italian destinations.
