GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This stunning villa was built in 1790 and has architectural features that make it "Casa Leopoldina", with a central tower on the roof.

It has barns used for drying tobacco until the 1970s and is surrounded by 1.5 hectares of perfectly maintained gardens, an orchard and an outdoor dining area with a gazebo.

The main villa of 724 sq/m has been perfectly and elegantly restored with exposed arches and vaults. There is the possibility of building a swimming pool. The restoration of the property has been carried out according to the principles of eco-architecture and all the materials used are natural and eco-compatible, in the spirit of ecologically sustainable use.

The villa is part of the Leopoldino cadastre of Florence, of which there are only 120 original houses of this type, but it is a true masterpiece of the Val di Chiana: it is one of the very few that still retains its brick vaults from the year it was built.

The villa is built on three levels, the ground floor and the first floor measure 334 sq/m, plus a "dovecote" of 56 sq/m (habitable and usable as a study, from which you can enjoy an incomparable view of both Montepulciano and Cortona).

The ground floor of the villa is accessed via the main entrance where there is a guest cloakroom, which leads into a hallway leading to a spacious modern Italian designer kitchen, a dining room and then to an imposing 147 sq/m living room consisting of three adjoining rooms separated by arches, with a monumental fireplace.

The entire ground floor is open plan, enhanced by the choice of seamless white resin flooring.

Also on the ground floor is a laundry room and a room with great potential, with separate external access, currently used for storage but which could easily be converted into a living area, with a room already fitted out for a bathroom, for a housekeeper or caretaker.

The first floor is accessed via a beautiful original stone staircase.

The large living room is over four meters high and has an original fireplace, at the corners of which are the four bedrooms with bathrooms and the master bedroom, preceded by a two-storey wardrobe, with an antechamber leading to the large bathroom. From the master bedroom, a staircase leads to a well-lit "dovecote".

The property also has two outbuildings, totalling 194 sq/m, some of which need to be restored but are in good structural condition. One of them houses the pellet boiler, capable of heating the entire house, and is connected to a system that allows the individual activation of the different areas of the house, as well as the water systems.
