Historic hamlet in the municipality of Cortona with vineyard and pool

At the foot of a majestic castle, nestled in the unspoiled landscape of the Valle Niccone, this remarkable historic estate unfolds across approximately 2,000 m² of built surface, surrounded by 42 ha of private land.

Dating back to the 18th century, the property once welcomed travellers crossing the valley and has retained its authentic character ever since. Today, two sections have been carefully restored, while additional buildings await renovation, offering substantial architectural volume and development potential. The estate comprises a stately three-storey manor house, a former tobacco drying house, and a borgo section in need of restoration. Original materials such as antique terracotta floors, stone vaulted ceilings, and wooden window frames define the atmosphere. The manor house and the former tobacco building were restored in 2005. All main connections are in place, including a 12 kW photovoltaic system, GPL heating, and water supplied by a private well.

The manor house extends over three levels. On the ground floor, a living room with a historic stone fireplace forms the heart of the home, accompanied by a kitchen with pantry, a studio, several ancillary rooms, and a bathroom on the mezzanine level. An internal staircase leads to the first floor, where two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a spacious terrace create an elegant and light-filled upper level. The second floor offers an additional bedroom and two attic rooms.
Adjacent to the terrace of the house lies the borgo section to be restored, presenting versatile possibilities for redesign, such as the creation of independent guest flats.

The former tobacco drying house has already been restored and currently accommodates three flats, each featuring a living area with fireplace and kitchen corner, as well as two bedrooms.

Further enhancing the property are a ruin of approximately 226 m² in the northeast and another former farmhouse of about 200 m² in the northwest near the olive grove; both retain their building volumes and open the door to additional space if desired.

An 12 x 6 m infinity pool complements the estate’s 42 ha of land, which include a vineyard, olive groves, and centuries-old woodland.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic ensemble in a commanding natural setting, with restoration potential and agricultural charm combined in one exceptional estate.
