10 Bed Country House for sale
Montecatini Val di Cecina, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy
Full Description
In a panoramic and private position, with open views over the hills of the Val di Cecina, a historic Tuscan estate with swimming pool and over 86 hectares of land is for sale.
The origins of the property date back to the mid-18th century, when the farmhouse was built to accommodate the families who worked the surrounding agricultural land.
The area on which it stands holds much older traces: these hills once belonged to the Etruscan territory of Volterra and, from the 1700s, to the Barons of Casaglia. In the woodland of the property, in 1932, a tomb belonging to an important Etruscan family was discovered, now preserved in the archaeological museum of Cecina.
The estate includes several buildings for a total surface area of approximately 1,000 sqm.
The main farmhouse retains the authentic character of Tuscan rural homes: on the ground floor there is a traditional kitchen, a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings — also ideal for receptions and events — and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
On the upper floor there are two independent apartments: the first consisting of a kitchen, living room and one bedroom, the second with kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. Adjacent to the main building there are also two structures housing three independent studio apartments.
The setting is surrounded by over 86 hectares of land, partly used as an olive grove for approximately 4.5 hectares and partly arable land, with crops of durum wheat and oats for about 60 hectares.
A beautifully maintained garden hosts the 14 x 7 meter infinity pool with solarium area and an exceptional view over the Tuscan countryside.
STATE OF REPAIR
In 2010, the property underwent a meticulous conservation restoration that preserved the authentic charm of a typical Tuscan farmhouse. Original features such as exposed wooden beams, brick vaults, terracotta floors, and stone details in the internal masonry have been retained, seamlessly integrated with modern living comforts.
UTILITIES
The estate is equipped with underfloor heating in all rooms.
The water supply is ensured both by the public aqueduct and by a private well; furthermore, the system includes rainwater collection for irrigation purposes.
The interiors are partially air-conditioned. The property also features Internet connectivity and is prearranged for the installation of an electric gate.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The property represents an excellent investment opportunity in the luxury tourist rental sector, thanks to its high-end finishes, panoramic position, and complete privacy that characterize the estate. Its proximity to the main historic villages of Tuscany and the beaches of the coast makes it ideal for stays focused on relaxation, nature, and discovering the many attractions of the surrounding area.
LOCATION
The property is located in the municipality of Montecatini Val di Cecina, in a hillside position, in a private area that ensures total privacy and breathtaking 360 degree views over the surrounding hills.
