Take a walk to Cortona from your historic country house with panoramic views
Set in a commanding panoramic position within walking distance of Cortona’s historic centre, this 16th-century farmhouse is complemented by nearly 3 ha of surrounding land, a swimming pool and several additional structures.
The property retains the character and architectural details traditionally associated with Tuscan farmhouses, including terracotta flooring, exposed timber beams with terracotta tiles, brick arches and staircases in pietra serena.
The house is arranged over three levels and benefits from several independent entrances, allowing the different areas to be accessed separately.
On the lower level, which opens directly onto the panoramic terrace, the principal living spaces comprise a spacious living/dining room, a kitchen with pantry, and a further sitting room with fireplace.
The ground floor which can be accessed via an independent entrance, contains two bedrooms, a bathroom, a study and a technical room.
The upper floor is arranged as self-contained flat, accessible both independently via an external staircase and from within the main house. It comprises a living room, a kitchenette, a bedroom and bathroom.
The property is surrounded by approximately 3 ha of gently rolling land, including an established olive grove of around 580 trees. The 8 × 4 m swimming pool occupies an elevated terrace and has been created from an existing stone basin, giving it a natural connection with the surrounding landscape. Several outbuildings provide storage and space for equipment, while a small hunting tower stands further down the hillside.
Cortona is known worldwide for its historic atmosphere, its cultural events and the wide range of restaurants, cafés and boutiques that attract visitors from all over the world.
