The Farmhouse (c. 350 sqm)
Set in an elevated position overlooking a series of small valleys and upwards towards both Mount Cetano to the north and Mount Amiata to the west, the old farmhouse was fully restored in 1987.
The house faces south and west and the front door leads from a stone terrace into a hallway with a substantial stone staircase leading to the first floor and an entrance into a good sized sitting room with its substantial original fireplace, beamed ceiling and original polished terracotta floors.
The sitting room has south facing double French doors out to a stone terrace with a wrought iron gazebo that leads to the swimming pool and the gardens. Off the sitting room is the fully fitted kitchen and a small dining hall with separate access to the gardens.
From the dining hall a small ante-room leads to a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom and also to an inner hall and guest cloakroom, an attractive study with another original stone fireplace and a further sitting room with double doors to the garden.
The stone staircase leads to a large luminous reception room with high beamed ceiling, polished terracotta floor, glazed French windows, to a south facing balcony and also to a covered west facing terrace. The original raised stone fireplace is excellent and there are two doors on either side of the room leading to two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
