ITALY, TUSCANY, AREZZO, CORTONA
A peaceful oasis in the Tuscan countryside, not far from Cortona. Situated in the green hills of Cortona, this splendid exposed stone farmhouse represents a unique opportunity for those who dream of living in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by nature but just a few minutes from the centre. The property, which has a floor area of 184 sqm, with an additional 50 sqm of annexes, is perfect for those looking for a rustic and charming residence, but also comfortable and modern. It requires work to update it to current standards.
The farmhouse, traditional in its structure and style, stands on a gentle hill that makes it visible from afar. The location is truly enviable, as it allows you to easily walk to the Franciscan Hermitage ‘Le Celle’ and the historic center of Cortona, famous for its cobbled streets, historic squares and breathtaking views of the Val di Chiana. The distance from the centre is only 3.1 km, which can be covered in less than 10 minutes by car or in a pleasant 45-minute walk on a scenic path.
The Main house:
On two levels, the main house consists of large and bright spaces, designed to offer maximum comfort without compromising the authenticity of the traditional rustic Tuscan style. On the ground floor is a large living room with fireplace. The kitchen, separate but communicating with the living area, is spacious and fully equipped, with large windows with great views of the surrounding countryside. This floor is also equipped with a service bathroom and a closet.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, both with original beamed ceilings and fine wooden floors. Each room has large windows that allow natural light to flood the spaces, while the views of the surrounding countryside are truly spectacular. The upper floor also includes a fully renovated bathroom, with high-quality finishes.
The Annexe:
A few steps from the main property, a 50 sqm annexe offers further customization possibilities.

It can also be used as a study, office, or space for recreational activities.
The Land:
The property is surrounded by 1.5 hectares of land, which includes a well-kept olive grove with about 200 trees, an orchard and large green areas that offer maximum privacy and tranquility. The well-kept garden is ideal for those who love being outdoors, with perfect spaces for al fresco dining, taking a stroll or simply enjoying the peace of the countryside.
Furthermore, the property offers great potential for those who want to create a swimming pool, positioned in a strategic point to enjoy the breathtaking views of the olive groves and the surrounding landscape.
Ideal Location
Cortona is one of the most fascinating cities in Tuscany, famous for its history, culture and traditions, but also for its central location that allows you to easily explore other famous Tuscan towns such as Arezzo, Montepulciano, Pienza and Siena.
In addition to being a perfect residence for those who want a home away from the chaos of the city, this property also has great potential as an investment. Thanks to its strategic location, it could be transformed into a charming accommodation facility, such as a B&B or a holiday home, to attract tourists who want to live an authentic experience in the Tuscan countryside, but with all the modern comforts.
