Sale of an exceptional estate on a 4-hectare plot, Cortona, Italy

About real estate

We are offering for sale an exceptional estate in one of the most sought-after parts of Tuscany, in the countryside near Cortona. The property comprises two separate residences with a total living area of approximately 520 m², featuring 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, set within 4 hectares of land comprising terraced olive groves, meadows and woodland. The greatest attraction is the unobstructed 180° panoramic views across the entire Valdichiana valley, which open up from the residences, gardens and the infinity pool, creating an exceptional atmosphere of privacy and tranquillity.

This historic country house, almost 200 years old, has undergone a sensitive restoration, preserving its original Tuscan character whilst incorporating modern comforts to meet contemporary standards. The ground floor comprises a bright kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a traditional stone fireplace and a study. On the upper floor are three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, whilst the master bedroom has direct access to a panoramic terrace.

The second, newer villa was built in the traditional Tuscan style and finished to a high standard using hand-crafted terracotta and travertine. Spanning three storeys, it offers an impressive double-height open-plan living area comprising a kitchen, dining room and living room, which flows seamlessly into a covered portico and an open terrace. The four spacious bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms and panoramic views. The basement houses a gym, a games room, a wine cellar and storage areas.

Both residences are connected by a central courtyard and shared outdoor facilities, including a 15 × 4.8-metre infinity pool. The landscaped gardens give way to olive groves, meadows and woodland, which emphasise the private nature of the entire estate. The property is equipped with air conditioning, heating, internet, satellite TV and an alarm system. There is also a private water supply system with two wells and storage tanks.

The two fully self-contained residences offer the owners an exceptional degree of flexibility. They can serve as a main house and a guest house, provide comfortable accommodation for several generations, or create ample privacy for the family and visitors. The generous plot, authentic Tuscan architecture, panoramic views across the Valdichiana valley and proximity to historic Cortona combine to create an exceptional private residence in one of the most beautiful parts of Tuscany.
