Cortona, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy
Full Description
La Fabbrica di Catrosse
A place where history, architecture and potential meet
In the heart of the Cortona countryside, just a few minutes from the historic center, stands La Fabbrica di Catrosse, an imposing structure full of charm and memory. Also known in ancient times as Fornace, it was part of a production complex wanted by the Venuti family, including an earthenware factory and the historic Villa Venuti. It was Curzio Venuti who started, in 1796, the production of earthenware and, for about thirty years, also of refined majolica, making Catrosse an important Tuscan manufacturing center.
Today, this extraordinary property presents itself as a unique testimony of the past and a great opportunity for architectural regeneration. The main structure is spread over three levels for a total of about 1,038 square meters, to which is added a 63 square meter annex to be recovered. The particular shape of the building and its monumental scope make it perfect for a prestigious residential project, an artistic atelier, or a charming accommodation facility.
Spaces and design potential:
The farmhouse requires a total and conservative renovation, which can bring back to light its original spirit, respecting its history and soul.
A possible recovery project includes:
Ground Floor: large customizable rooms, divisible into several independent units. In the main part, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room and kitchen could be created, as well as additional rooms to be used as needed. Also on the ground floor, in the secondary area, we find a large living room, eat-in kitchen, dining room and closet, as well as other customizable and spacious spaces.
First Floor: perfect for hosting the sleeping area, with the possibility of creating at least 4 bedrooms, additional bathrooms and relaxation areas.
Attic: spacious and versatile, it offers additional possibilities for service areas, study areas or creative workshops.
A unique opportunity.
La Fabbrica di Catrosse is not just a property: it is a piece of history immersed in the scenic beauty of the Valdichiana, waiting to be restored to its former glory. The perfect investment for those looking for an iconic property, to be transformed into an exclusive home, a cultural center or a hospitality business with a strong identity.
