In the heart of the beautiful, medieval Tuscan village of Montopoli Val d'Arno, this spacious, historical palazzo (town house) (500 sqm), could provide an outstanding family home, or it is perfect for a home/ rental or guest house. The gardens and views are magnificent, with a lovely swimming pool. AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY.

The living accommodation is currently all on one level, with internal and external stairs down to the unique 'cantina' rooms below which have a number of possibilities - they would make excellent kitchen/ dining rooms, or table tennis/ games rooms, kid's playrooms, or teenage chill zones, or are just perfect for a more adult bar. They lead out to the pretty gardens (207 sqm) with swimming pool and exceptional views. The existing layout offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, but the plan is to create a wonderful sizeable living area and kitchen, and to retain at least four double bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom. There is so much potential here to create a fabulous home. The location is just perfect, sitting exactly in between Pisa and Florence. The size of the accommodation is exceptional and it is in such a great area. It is very rare to be able to present such potential.

L'Architrave works with a local english-speaking Geometra to be able to provide planning guidance, design consultancy and project management of all required works. This Geometra and his team have overseen a number of wonderful restorations in the area and are on-hand to work with you, to provide a bespoke home.

Montopoli is set in the heart of Tuscany, between Pisa and Florence. The location is exceptional - just 30 mins from Pisa airport, and 40 mins from the centre of Florence. The property is just 5 mins from the main road which links Florence, Pisa and Livorno, called the FI-PI-LI. There are many interesting places to visit: San Miniato, has a Diocesan Museum and is famous for the white truffle; the town of Vinci is the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci and hosts a wonderful museum in his honour; Montelupo Fiorentino hosts an important museum of Renaissance ceramics works; and Artimino, with a collection of wonderful Medici villas. This area has been continuously inhabited since the Etruscan time: almost all the villages in the surrounding hills already existed in ancient times and it is not a rare event to come across Etruscan finds and archaeological excavations. This is the perfect place from which to explore the whole of Tuscany with the art treasures and architecture of Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and Lucca on the doorstep.

Distances: Pisa (airport) 35 km, Florence 45 km, beaches 40 km, Volterra 50 km, San Gimignano 45 km, Lucca 40 km, Siena 80 km.
