Huis: Toscane, Arezzo, CORTONA

Unique, ready to move in property in panoramic position and walking distance from the centre of Cortona – Arezzo – Tuscany

This rare and rather unique property in the immediate vicinity of Cortona – the historic centre is at only 400 mt. distance – is located in the most panoramic position overlooking Valdichiana and offering also views of the old town and Santa Maria Nova church. Although only 400 mt. from the city, it is an extremely quiet and peaceful place with total privacy. About 7000 sq.m. of terraced land surrounding the property have been perfectly landscaped and divided into manicured olive groves and most exquisite English style garden. Green areas with mature trees, roses and different species of plants and flowers together with green lawns on different levels are connected by means of comfortable stone stairs and paths. They offer various spots where one can relax, dine or simply admire the beautiful panorama.

8x4 swimming pool with sundeck is located on one of panoramic terraces just below the house. There is also a car port for three vehicles and storage for gardening equipment.

The house measures approximately 200 sq.m. It has been lovingly restored by the owners, who never stopped improving it. This old stone building has two levels. Ground floor has been divided into a kitchen, dining room, two large bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and storage space. The first floor has one bathroom, bedroom, large sitting room with exit to the garden, walk-in wardrobe and another room, presently used as a study, but suitable to become an additional bedroom. All rooms are spacious and full of light. Each of the many windows offers spectacular views. Floors are in local terracotta, while ceilings have old wooden beams. Some parts of the walls were left in stone. Bathrooms are well designed and decorated with high quality ceramic tiles. Totally equipped kitchen has a large dining table. An outside gazebo provides perfect space for al fresco dining with great views of the below Valdichiana valley and illuminated church of Santa Maria Nova.

The roof has been totally redone with proper insulation. Area beneath the ground floor has been properly ventilated against humidity. All windows have double glazing. Rooms are provided with central heating running presently on GPL. City gas will be connected in the near futures. Automatic irrigation system is supplied by private well. City water is used for domestic uses.

The house is very well exposed with sun all day round. Mature trees provide the necessary shade.  The property is partly fenced with automatic, hand cast iron entrance gate. Sat TV, telephone and broad band internet connection are all in place.

Apart from the beauty of the house, garden and panorama, the particularity of the property is its perfect country setting so close to the town. You may enjoy all the benefits offered by Cortona without ever encountering the parking problem.
