Country House for sale
Cortona, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy
Full Description
This remarkable estate near Cortona combines the timeless charm of a traditional Tuscan Leopoldina farmhouse with the vast potential of a full restoration project. The property consists of a main residence of approximately 700 m² and four surrounding outbuildings totalling about 750 m², all set within 1.8 ha of private land, with the option to acquire additional adjoining plots.
The main house—distinguished by its iconic dovecote tower, or Colombaia—is a fine example of 18th-century rural architecture typical of the Val di Chiana region. Spanning two levels plus the characteristic tower, the structure retains its original character, featuring vaulted cellars, exposed beams, and stone flooring that speak to its agricultural past.
The ground floor comprises eight rooms, including a series of old vaulted cellars and former stables with traditional stone pavements and beamed ceilings. From the entrance hall with a historic bread oven, an internal staircase leads to the first floor, where a spacious loggia opens onto ten rooms. From the central living area, complete with a large fireplace, a wooden staircase leads up to the picturesque tower—a signature feature of the Leopoldina style.
Surrounding the main residence are four agricultural annexes: two stone outbuildings (approx. 140 m² and 50 m²), a large 240 m² building currently used as a garage, and an open shelter of around 320 m².
Cortona is vibrant, authentic and culinary, a unique town in Tuscany with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Thanks in part to the presence of three American faculties, but there is still a lot of original Italian living. Partly because of this, it is a city full of life in both summer and winter. Beautiful shops and galleries, a supermarket, greengrocers, butchers and many bars and restaurants, churches, a monastery and museums. There is also plenty of youth - from children to high school and university students.
Nestled in a tranquil setting yet close to the amenities and cultural treasures of Tuscany, this estate offers a rare opportunity to restore and transform a piece of authentic Tuscan heritage into a prestigious family home or boutique hotel.
