Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany 52020

Among the beautiful Tuscan hills, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, in a private and sun-kissed location, we find this splendid 19th-century residence. Skillfully restored, it consists of a main building and an annex converted from the old barn. Both structures feature wooden beams, terracotta floors and wooden windows with shatterproof glass. The main house on the ground floor has a large living area with a kitchen overlooking the garden, a bathroom and a room that is currently used as an office. On the same level, there is a two-room flat with a separate entrance, consisting of a living area with a fireplace and kitchen, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a private outdoor area overlooking the swimming pool. An external staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a large loggia used as a lounge area where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the countryside or read a book in complete tranquillity. Also on the first floor is a completely independent apartment of approximately 120 square metres, which opens onto a bright kitchen overlooking the garden and swimming pool. It has a hallway, three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and three bathrooms. The property is completed with an old barn that has retained its characteristic stone masonry facade and typical Tuscan mandolate, terracotta lattice walls that were used to ventilate the room, and is spread over two levels. On the ground floor, there is a small independent flat consisting of a living room with kitchenette, double bedroom, bathroom and large loggia. The first floor is accessed by a wrought iron spiral staircase, where there is a double bedroom with bathroom, which also has a dedicated outdoor area with table and chairs. The estate is surrounded by a beautiful garden, meticulously tended, where there is a lovely swimming pool with Roman steps, equipped with a wooden gazebo and sun loungers; a barbecue area with an outdoor sink under a green-covered canopy for enjoying summer evenings outdoors. The property is completed by a 98 sqm basement garage/storage room, approximately 4 hectares of arable land with irrigation and greenhouses, all surrounded by an underground fence. The property is surrounded by the Tuscan countryside of the Valdarno area, which, thanks to its central location, is the perfect starting point for exploring the beautiful landscapes, art and architecture of the region. For example, Siena with its magnificent Piazza del Campo, Arezzo with its famous Antiques Fair, Renaissance Montepulciano with its Nobile red wine, Cortona with its unrivalled medieval charm, the Val d'Orcia with its hills declared a Unesco World Heritage Site, and finally Florence with its unrivalled charm and open-air museum.
