Description
This charming 19th. century farmhouse has been thoughtfully restored on the first floor, offering a cozy sitting room, a traditional farmhouse kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The property still retains the potential for expansion, with the possibility to convert some of the ground-floor spaces into additional accommodation, subject to the relevant permits. The house is nestled within nearly 8 hectares of beautiful land, complete with a swimming pool and a separate outbuilding. Its location offers the rare combination of privacy, stunning panoramic views, and walking distance to the historic town of Sarteano. To further enhance the incredible views and natural surroundings, some careful pruning of the overgrown shrubs and trees would be a worthwhile investment.

Sarteano, a picturesque medieval town located on a high plain between Montepulciano and Cetona, offers a truly authentic Tuscan experience. The town is home to several notable historical buildings, as well as a beautifully restored Renaissance theatre. With a wide range of services, exceptional restaurants and a welcoming community, Sarteano provides the perfect balance of charm and convenience. The property is ideally located just 6 km from the Chiusi/Chianciano exit on the A1 motorway and only 12 km from the mainline railway station in Chiusi, making it an excellent base for exploring the renowned medieval towns of the Val d’Orcia.
