Beautiful country house with an incredible view of the Tuscan hills, intact as it was at the beginning of last century, witness to past lives still present in the property's architectural features.

The house is the main portion of an ancient farmhouse, with garden and private parking. A feature of the garden is the original well, and there are panoramic views across the Tuscan countryside. It stands on two levels with 5 rooms on the ground floor, formerly used as storage, stables and wine cellars, which now offer the potential to create additional, amazing living spaces, subject to planning permission. On the first floor there is a spacious living area with big kitchen / dining room, separate sitting room, 2 bedrooms, and bathroom. The accommodation is in good condition; at the same time there is scope to update the building and create an even more beautiful home.

All services are connected.

The property is within walking distance of the main square of the little town, which has two coffee bars, a charming restaurant with tables and chairs on the main piazza, a pharmacy, the headquarters of the Bank of Lajatico, a good bakery and many other small shops. The piazza is witness to the daily life of its inhabitants and their stories: at any time of year it is the beating heart of the village.

Andrea Bocelli is a world renowned tenor and Lajatico is his hometown. Every year in July he hosts an important international festival at his 'Teatro del Silenzio', his specially created open air amphitheatre and during this week music lovers come from all over the world to listen to the wonderful performances of Bocelli and other important international artists. Andrea Bocelli is often seen in the square or at his restaurant where he samples, and encourages others to sample, the local specialties of his expert chefs. The town of Lajatico is located in Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills is dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall green cypress trees which epitomizes the Tuscan landscape. The area is scattered with historical towns and medieval villages, castles and country churches and a landscape with golden meadows of wheat dancing in the breeze, vineyards, olive groves and fields of sunflowers. Meandering through the countryside of Valdera you feel the vestiges of the mysterious Etruscan civilisation. Casciana Terme, just a few kms away, has thermal waters and spa facilities and is a pretty town with piazzas and cafes. The nearby 'città d’arte' (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence.
