Prestigious Historic Villa with a Pool on the Tuscan Hills

Prestigious historic residence with swimming pool and tennis court for sale near Cortona, about 30 minutes from Montepulciano and 50 minutes from Perugia airport. The property of approximately 960m2, with 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, dates back to the 1600s and belonged to a noble family from Arezzo. It is located at the foot of the hills that border the north of the Val d’Elsa, the so-called Conca d’Oro.

The main villa is characterized by an imposing facade with the family crest. The ground floor of the building has remained used, as originally, for the reception of service areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, cellar and laundry. On the same floor, we find a secondary living room with a dining room. This floor also includes a small private frescoed chapel.
The main floor is accessed via a beautiful external stone staircase with a double ramp. The entrance hall (also accessible from an internal staircase) features period coffered ceilings and a large marble fireplace. Adjacent to this reception room is a frescoed hall. On the same floor, we find a sleeping area with three spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.
The top floor houses three more bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a library and a sitting room. All rooms have finely decorated coffered wooden walls. The main villa is completed by a large attic of 315 sqm.

Not far from the property, a large annex connected to the villa via a covered walkway is used as a lemon house during the winter but is also used as a room for parties, weddings and representative events. This area with a suggestive atmosphere overlooks the wonderful 45-hectare park and is equipped with a comfortable kitchenette. The annex flows onto the villa’s ancient Nymphaeum, a majestic fountain with mythological statues.
Inside the complex, we also find the ancient stables, currently used as a shed for agricultural machinery and the lemon house, which houses a small independent apartment on the upper floor. These two buildings can be transformed according to your needs.

The property includes a covered barbecue area with a wood-burning oven, a tennis court in excellent condition and a swimming pool area equipped with a solarium and changing rooms.
