Description
Casa Ruscello is situated in a strategic position on the side of a hill, surrounded by the typical unspoilt countryside between the little town of Sarteano and the exit of the A1 autostrada at Chiusi/Chianciano. A terraced garden, bordered above by a stream, ensures privacy and plenty of space for a swimming pool. The imposing building on three floors as well as an underground garage and a technical room was restored to a high standard in 2017 and is one of the very few farmhouses in the area that has a class B energy certificate due to photovoltaic panels and a pellet boiler for heating. The large, open plan living area and kitchen are ideal for a big family or entertaining and with four bedrooms there is no shortage of space. The house, being built in to the side of the hill provides a wide terrace and access to the first floor and therefore offers plenty of flexibility in the arrangement of the spaces.
Area:
The property is located a couple of kilometers from Sarteano, in a quiet countryside area. It enjoys complete privacy while not being too isolated and is excellently placed for comunications with the access to the A1 autostrada at Chiusi/Chianciano ajust 4 kms. distant and the mainline railway station in Chiusi within 15 minutes by car. Sarteano, one of southern Tuscany’s most authentic and fascinating hill towns. The town is known for its Etruscan tombs, medieval castle, museums and well preserved historic centre. Throughout the year, Sarteano hosts a lively calendar of festivals and cultural events while maintaining an atmosphere of genuine Tuscan authenticity, far removed from mass tourism.
Land:
The house is surrounded by 1,514 square meters of fully fenced garden, which includes a stream on the upper side, fruit and vegetable growing areas and ample space below, ideal for a swimming pool.
