Tuscan Villa with Pool, Artist’s Studio, Spectacular Views
Property Description
This magnificent property consists of a stone villa, an artist’s studio, and swimming pool on 2,490 square meters (26,800 square feet) of land. The sloping terrain is terraced with cypresses, pines, a variety of fruit and nut trees, vegetable and herb gardens and olive trees that provide excellent extra virgin oil bottled under the villa's own “Ulivoio” label.
The main house has 205 square meters (2,200 square feet) of floor space, including dining room, kitchen, living room with fireplace, study, three bedrooms, three baths, two storage rooms and a furnace room for central heating. Attached to the house is a covered outdoor cooking facility with a wood-burning brick oven and barbecue.
The studio, whose walls are covered by ivy, includes a loft and small wine cellar in its 33 square meters (355 square feet) of space.
The swimming pool, 14x7 meters and 2.8 meters deep (46 x 23 / 9 feet), is enclosed by stone walls, laurel hedges and a vine-covered pergola canopy with a fireplace and massive stone table.
A mountain spring in the woods above the house provides water to an underground storage deposit. The year-round supply of spring water is a great advantage in an area subject to occasional summer droughts.
The main house has been restored in phases. Though inhabited for decades, it needs refurbishment in places (floors and windows and doors on the upper levels). The studio was completely renovated a decade ago.
