Authentic, spacious and very well restored Tuscan farmhouse (390 sqm) with a wonderful open aspect, set in a beautiful area with extensive land.

The restoration has been carried out with care and with sensitivity to the original features of the building, retaining all the charm and character. There is a feeling of space and rustic honesty. The ceilings open to the wooden beams to look just right, the terracotta floors, the Tuscan brick arches all link to the origins of the building and are now coupled with modern appliances in the kitchens and bathrooms for easy, modern living.

The house is extensive and comprises six bedrooms and five bathrooms, with ample sociable living spaces. A large living room with a lovely fireplace acts as common space between the two parts of the house and links the two sections which each have their own kitchen, living rooms and staircase, so the upstairs of each part has three large bedrooms and bathrooms. The layout is therefore ideal to share the house with guests, friends or family as each has their own space, but they are connected by the large common room. The double doors open onto a covered 'loggia' perfect for al fresco dining and there is a lovely terrace at the back of the house.

The property was restored in 2012 and is presented in very good condition. The land around the property of one hectare (two and a half acres) is fenced. Currently there is an 'out of ground' pool and there is planning permission in place , and plenty of space, for an 'in ground' pool. The rest of the land is self-managing woodland - in total there is 8.5 hectares (over 20 acres).

The house is reached on good roads, with the last 1.8 km on a good, but unpaved 'strada bianca' road. There is plentiful private parking.

The area of Val Di Cecina has a charming combination of history, culture and excellent cuisine. San Dalmazio is a beautiful medieval village with two good restaurants and a coffee bar and there are many excellent restaurants on 'agriturismi' (organic farms) in the locality which serve their own excellent produce. In San Dalmazio itself is the Torre Silliana fortress, dating from the twelth century, with dramatic views over the Cecina valley. Castelnuovo Val di Cecina is a small medieval village in the heart of Tuscany, south of Pisa, on the border between the provinces of Pisa, Siena and Grosseto. The town also has ancient origins and the village has preserved all the charm and is full of antique features. The hilltop village is known for being in the shape of a bunch of grapes, with a layout of a medieval town. It sits on a sandstone outcrop and is full of beautiful cobbled lanes and enchanting little piazzas. Coming away from the oldest part of Castelnuovo, the town streets are flanked with small shops and local coffee bars, bank, post office. Modern life and amenities are all within walking distance. The countryside extends from the mountains to the east, through the vineyards terraced on the low hills and down to the Mediterranean scrub with pine woods and brooms to the west. The golden hills are planted with orchards, vineyards and olive groves. San Dalmazio is perfect for nature enthusiasts: from the town, there is a variety of different nature trails through enchanting historic sites.

Perfectly positioned to explore the beautiful Tuscan cities of Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Cecina (on the coast), Pisa, Lucca and Florence. It is all on your doorstep.
