Sunkissed Farmhouse overlooking the Crete Senesi

Set gracefully on a tranquil hillside, this meticulously restored farmhouse enjoys a peaceful valley setting in one of Tuscany's most scenic areas, offering lovely views of the iconic Crete Senesi. Accessed via a well-maintained ‘strada bianca’, the property has undergone a total renovation completed in 2021, which carefully preserved the soul of the original rural structure while introducing contemporary comfort. Natural materials and reclaimed elements from the old farmhouse were integrated into the new layout, blending tradition with a clean, modern aesthetic. The property, spread on two levels, features a large open-plan living area and kitchen area on the ground floor. Massive brick arches and wooden beams, testaments of the long history of the local rural architecture, sustain the weight of the building. Numerous and vast openings frame the surrounding countryside into captivating postcard-like views, drawing the eye outwards and bathing the interiors in warm Tuscan sunlight. Eleven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are spread throughout the building ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for all guests. Outside the property is surrounded by a manicured garden featuring olive trees, lavender bushes and other aromatic plants. The farmhouse’s original courtyard separates the main living area from the former ‘parata’, now converted into a multi-purpose space thanks to its glass doorways and windows with striking views of the lush countryside. In front of the building, perched on the hill descent, a stunning travertine swimming pool has been strategically placed to capture the beauty of the surrounding countryside and maximum sun exposure. Cleverly oriented by wise builders, the main facade enjoys the view of the sunset behind the hills while the old bricks light up in hues of orange and pink during the different seasons. Running fully on electricity, the property is very energy efficient thanks to the forward thinking restoration which focused not only on design, but also on sustainability. Fifteen hectares of land with a private lake encircle the entire estate ensuring maximum privacy.
