Description

Imagine yourself at the highest and most panoramic point of breathtaking Tuscany, right where the Val di Chiana meets the Val d’Orcia. Today this place holds a promise: a project for an elite residence designed for those who, beyond simply living in a place, want to experience its poetry.

This opportunity goes far beyond the project; it is the beginning of a story. Imagine watching, day after day, a residence take shape that will blend the warm soul of the classic Tuscan farmhouse with the most contemporary technological excellence.

In one of the most prestigious and private hillside locations in the area, stands an ancient stone ruin rich in history, preserving a timeless rural charm and now offered for sale with an already approved cutting-edge project for the complete demolition and reconstruction of the residence. Thanks to a strategic repositioning of the original structure and a substantial increase in floor area, the new property will enjoy absolute privacy and offer breathtaking views over the valley below.

The future residence will extend over an area of approximately 300 commercial square meters arranged on two levels, where the exterior architecture will be entirely clad in exposed stone.

The project provides for the ground floor an interior layout conceived as an open space, designed to maximize natural light and the continuity with the outdoors. This effect is achieved through the installation of large full-height arched windows, fitted with minimalist thermally broken steel frames.

From the main entrance one enters directly into the living area, a room with high ceilings where a masonry staircase is set. This space is adjacent to the kitchen area, designed for an equipped central island, and to a climate-controlled glazed room for wine storage. The floor is completed by a pantry, a separate laundry room, a guest bathroom and a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, usable for guests or as an independent unit.

On the first floor the flooring is oak parquet and the sleeping area can be customized according to two different project options: the first proposal includes four double bedrooms, each with an integrated walk-in wardrobe and internal en-suite bathroom. The second proposal includes two double bedrooms and a large master suite featuring a private terrace overlooking the valley, a walk-in wardrobe and a main bathroom fitted with a freestanding bathtub positioned near the window and a walk-in shower with natural travertine cladding;

The property is surrounded by approximately 6 hectares of land, partly agricultural and partly intended as a private park, perfectly suited to the creation of a botanical garden with centuries-old olive trees, an infinity pool overlooking the valley and a parking area with electric charging stations. Outside, the magnificent heated infinity pool stands out, which, thanks to the natural stone effect internal lining, gives the water unique chromatic shades. Perfectly oriented toward the profile of Cortona, it offers privileged views of the sunsets over the Tuscan countryside. Around the pool there is a natural stone solarium, an exclusive lounge area and porticoes equipped with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area.

The property can be purchased in its current state for EUR 990,000, including land, ruin, approved project, settled charges and landscape-environmental permits ready for the immediate start of works. Alternatively, a “turnkey” formula is available with guaranteed delivery within twenty-four months, an option that offers the privilege of being supported by a team of professionals to customize the interior layout, select the finest Made in Italy marbles and woods, and integrate state-of-the-art home automation systems for remote management of scenic lighting, underfloor radiant climate control and perimeter security.
