Stunning Val D'Orcia Farmhouse with Pool

Breathtaking restored farmhouse near Pienza, in the famous Val D'Orcia area of Tuscany, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most sought-after locations. This Stunning Val D'Orcia Farmhouse with Pool is on top of a hill with a 360 degree view over the hills of Val D'Orcia. It is fully and beautifully restored.

The House

The House is in excellent condition, tastefully refurbished and currently divided into 2 separate units with separate entrances. It could also be brought back to one single villa.

First part

The first house is characterised by an explosion of colours, each one typifying a specific room. The total area of the house is about 255 sq.m. on two floors, divided as follows:

Ground Floor:

It features several French windows, thus guaranteeing maximum natural light all day and they will let you access the house both from the living room and the kitchen. The majestic double living room with archway will impress you. The flooring, the stone fireplace and the original wood beams will give you the feeling of real authenticity. From the living room, you have a direct exit to the external paved area, where you can enjoy a drink or have dinner admiring the beautiful Val D'Orcia before you.

The kitchen is refurbished in a rustic style, with precious details as the marble basin and the ceramics on the walls, that give a touch of colour and light to the severe style of the room.

On the same floor, there is a study, a guest bathroom and a lovely double bedroom, with walk-in wardrobe and a lovely bathroom, that will lead you directly to the covered area of the 24 m x 4 m swimming pool.

First Floor:

On the first floor, there are 2 spacious master bedrooms, characterised by a warm wood flooring and colours on the walls. The red bedroom enjoys an amazing yellow bathroom with double basin and precious ceramics, but the best part is the elevated bathtub with Jacuzzi. The other bedroom features lighter colours, still with the same cosy and warm elements of wood and ceramics. From all the rooms, you can enjoy beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.

Second Part

The other home is similar but different. The element that mostly characterises the second apartment is wood, which dominates each room, in terms of flooring, original beams, and classy details that you can discover as you step into the rooms. Also this part enjoys a number of French windows, to let the sun get in and shine in every room. The total area of the house is 255 sq.m. on 2 floors:

Ground Floor:

The kitchen is spacious and characterised by old wood beams that spread around a scent of antique. All the elements are traditional and let you imagine how people in the past bustled about cooking for their big families. From the kitchen, via a few steps, you access the first living room, which could be also used as the official dining room when you have guests. Here you can admire a big, old fireplace, probably used in the past not only to warm up the house, but also to cook their meals.

The double living room, accessible both from the living/dining area and from 2 French windows has that lovely feel of a period room focused on the light coming in from the numerous windows. From here, you can access the guest bathroom and also the lovely bedroom, placed on a mezzanine, that kids will love for sure and will use as their play room.

First Floor:

On this floor are 2 spacious double bedrooms, with ensuite bathrooms. One also has a walk-in wardrobe. The ensuite bedrooms make life equally comfortable for guests and family. As you step into each bedroom, you can feel the same atmosphere of noble landowners, thanks to the care for details and all the classy features that the current owners have chosen to make the property look so precious.

The house enjoys all modern comforts and what is important to notice is that all the connections to the systems are placed far from the house, including the air-conditioning system, so that the house, the pool area and the garden in general are completely silent.

The Annex

The property enjoys a big annex of about 245 sq.m. divided into 2 big rooms, that could be used as a garage and storage for the gardening tools. On the other hand, it could be also used as spacious, silent rooms to practice Yoga. The best part of this annex is that it is underground and the entrance faces the opposite side of the house, so you can hardly notice it. The small white road for cars leading to the garage, is distant from the house, thus guaranteeing further silence.

The Land

The property sits on a 1.8 hectares land and up to 5/6 hectares of additional land could be bought. It is all agricultural ground, meaning that no one will ever build around the property, which will stay forever free from any modern building.

The extension of the land, will let you enjoy full privacy. Other houses can be seen only from a distance.

Taking care of the garden is not difficult, since it is all grass around, meaning that no great work is required to keep all in good order.

The garden enjoys an amazing 24 m x 4 m swimming pool, partly ending into the house: just imagine having a swim in the internal area, when it's cold outside and looking at the beautiful panorama in front of you. On the other hand, enjoying the external area of the pool will be a pleasure, too, since it is placed in a very private area, overlooking the Val D'Orcia rolling hills.

The Location

This is a home that seems to embrace you as you approach, there is a wonderful sense of privacy. Pulling up on the driveway you feel as if you have left the world behind.

The property occupies a perfect secluded location in the Tuscan countryside with the added benefit of convenient proximity to Pienza with its numerous cultural sites and unforgettable architecture. The very heart of Pienza is just 6 km away, but also the other iconic places of Val D'Orcia are all at your fingertips, as San Quirico D'Orcia, Montalcino and many others.

Why Buy It

The list of reasons why buy this house is long and we'll try to summarize. The first, quality, is clear and evident for all to see, because the house is beautifully restored with great taste. There are no additional works to be done, because everything is in good order, meaning that you just have to get the keys and step into. It is a family home, for those looking for a special place to stay, where class is all around: being divided into 2 apartments, one of them could be used as a home for other parts of the family.

Thanks to the location, restoration and structure of the house, it also has a great rental potential. If it is to be your holiday home, you could rent out to tourists the whole villa on a weekly basis with a very good income. On the other hand, you could decide to live in one apartment and rent the other one, thus covering the yearly costs of maintenance. Do not forget that Pienza and Val d'Orcia in general are very sought for destinations for international tourists, who are looking for an exclusive place to stay, while discovering Tuscany.

Last but not least it is a safe investment. Despite the crisis that hit the housing market, Pienza and Val D'Orcia have always maintained a stability in the number of people looking for a property in the area, meaning that the prices never faced a real decrease. Buying a house in Pienza and surroundings will give you the guarantee to be the proud owner of a property, that you can resell any time, with regret for parting from it, but also with economic content.
