Full Description
Restored 7-bedroom country villa with historic fine stone walls, arched loggia, park, swimming pool and olive groves for sale in Cortona, Arezzo. Dating back to the 1700s, surrounded by a 5.4-acre (2.7 ha) fully fenced park, in a private and panoramic setting, Ca’ di Maso is a beautiful country villa that preserves its original stone walls both on the facades and in the interiors, embellished by a particular five-arch loggia, perfect for al fresco dining. The main living area is spread over the first floor, with access from the loggia onto an antechamber, as if to preannounce the very striking scenic effect of the double living room boasting a central arch and stone walls throughout. It also features two French doors leading to a balcony overlooking the pool and garden, herringbone terracotta floors, and exposed wood-beamed ceilings. A custom-made wooden wardrobe precedes the master bedroom and bathroom, while the other two bedrooms, one with a full-wall open fireplace, are off the entrance hall, along with a kitchen and a second bathroom. The ground floor consists of a living room with a great dining table, a kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. All fixtures are handcrafted solid wood with double glazing, mosquito nets, and the typical wooden shutters that, not only confer a fascinating rustic style to the house facades but offer coolness in the summer and contain heat loss during winter months. The bedrooms are air-conditioned, some of the bathrooms have been recently renovated and tiled in travertine stone and marble. The outdoors is delightfully landscaped with roses, mature trees, and Mediterranean shrubs. The swimming pool is set on a terracotta paved sundeck and has a cozy little cottage consisting of a changing room and a bathroom. At the side of the garden, in front of the loggia, there is a stone building with a veranda and an outdoor dining area, housing the old bread oven, still in perfect working order. Slightly detached, close to the entrance gate, is a further stone building used as a garage and storage room yet could be converted into additional living areas and guest quarters. A well and some 250 olive trees complete the property, with an annual production of its evo oil, delicious on bruschetta and on fresh veggies from your vegetable garden. Ca’ di Maso Country Villa is located just over 4 miles from the town of Cortona, one of the most popular destinations for celebrities and VIP from all over the world for its quality of life, rhythms marked by nature and year-round cultural events. Cortona dominates a spectacular region on the Tuscan and Umbria border, just minutes from the shores of Lake Trasimeno, and all major historical sites, natural parks, and finest Chianti wineries yet offers all amenities, a railway station, and easy connections to highways.
