Location: Sarteano, Tuscany
Sarteano is a charming medieval town situated on a high plain between the Val d’Orcia and the Val di Chiana, just 6 km from the A1 motorway at Chiusi/Chianciano, and centrally located between Rome and Florence. Its position makes it an ideal choice for both permanent residences and second homes. Sarteano retains its authentic medieval charm, with notable buildings like the medieval Castle and a beautifully restored Renaissance theatre. The town offers excellent services, fantastic restaurants, and a welcoming community. This makes the property not only a retreat but also an investment in a growing, well-connected area with an active cultural life.
The property is accessed via a short private avenue leading from the main road to a spacious parking area, with separate gravel driveways for each building, ensuring privacy and ease of access.
Land:
The property is set within 14.1 hectares of land, including 250 olive trees in an olive grove below the buildings.
