With open, elevated views, opportunity to transform a traditional historic farmhouse with 11 hectares of land and olive groves, for sale in Cortona. Located in the upper reaches of Cortona, along a former Roman road that once connected Arezzo to the heart of the Empire, the farmhouse sits within a captivating rural landscape. Accessed via a charming white gravel road of approximately 2 kilometres, the approach winds through an ancient hunting estate and a beautiful coppice woodland before opening onto a natural terrace with spectacular valley vistas.

The ground floor currently comprises six storage and cellar rooms, while the first floor, reached via an external staircase and covered walkway, offers six generously sized rooms in need of complete renovation, providing a blank canvas for bespoke interior design.

The setting ensures a profound sense of privacy, tranquillity, and connection to the natural environment. With no active utilities currently in place, the property invites a full-scale restoration and modernisation, allowing for the integration of contemporary sustainability standards.
