Description
Located in a lovely hamlet of just 5 other properties, the property has spectacular views of the Val di Chio, a stunning valley close to the town of Castiglion Fiorentino.
The hamlet is reached via a white road, in excellent condition. After approximately 1km, the hamlet is reached and the private parking for the property is located above and at the rear of the property. The property itself is located at the south end of the hamlet and is very private although it is detached to another property on one side.
The stone built property dates back to 1892 and many of the original features have been conserved and preserved over the years, such as the beautiful original stone fireplace in the living room and an original stone sink in one of the bedrooms.
Ground floor: The entrance to the property leads you into the main living/dining room and kitchen area of the house. The kitchen is at one end of the area, rustic and galley style but does not feel small due to the openness of the room.
First floor: the wooden staircase leads to the first floor where the two bedrooms are located along with a rustic family bathroom. In the second bedroom there is a small walk in closet that is currently used as a utility/laundry area and there is access to the attic space which offers great storage space for this home.
Outside, the gardens are located on various terraced levels, with a patio and terrace being immediately located outside the entrance door with outside table perfect for entertaining and taking in the stunning Tuscan countryside view.
Heading down the stone steps to the middle level, there is an annexe (1 room and small bathroom) that has it's own private terrace, view and jacuzzi!
The lower level is a grass area with a relaxing gazebo and garden shed offering again storage space and quiet zones to soak up the tranquility that this property offers.
There is a wooden terrace that has a small table and chairs and below, in a secluded spot, there is an ideal area to relax and enjoy a morning coffee with the papers or novel.
The property has central heating, wood burning stove and open fireplace making it very cosy in the the cooler months. All the windows have screens and the property has high speed internet connection.
Castiglion Fiorentino is within a 15 minutes drive and has all the shops, restaurants and train station making travelling to Florence, Rome and beyond easy. There are good road connections too.
At the beginning of the white road, there is currently a restaurant being built, so potentially, it could be reached within walking distance and at the end of the white road, is an agriturismo.
Casa GAMBARONCIA is a perfect mix of countryside living without being isolated, located within a hamlet, you will be immersed into the Italian way of life and community whilst also having your privacy.
The property is good value for money and is a must view for ones that are looking for a countryside retreat in an elevated location with stunning views!
The home comes with the furniture
Testimonial from current owners, 'Janneke and Hein'
'During our search in November 2007 for a holiday home around Cortona and Arezzo, our real estate agent at the time brought us eventually, on the final moment before returning to Holland, to Castiglion Fiorentino, località Gambaroncia.
After parking, we walked along the side of the house towards the front and when we came around the corner, something special happened.
A feeling of happiness came over us because, the first thing we saw was the spectacular view, that we could only have dreamed of.
The layout of the house suited us perfectly, we made an offer that same day, which led to becoming the owners of our Casa Gambaroncia.
Over the course of the 18 years, we have turned this magical place into an even more beautiful paradise with a lot of attention to the outdoors.
How lucky we have been all these years and we will look back on our Tuscan time as such. We have shared our home with many friends and family and have made friends with our fabulous Italian neighbours.
Residents of Casa Gambaroncia can count on a place that offers a lot of privacy but will not feel isolated. It is the perfect combination for us.
The countless times we have driven to Castiglion Fiorentino, via the panoramic road, never bores us. It is part of the wealth having the privilege to stay here.
Photos and videos will do this place in nature of course justice, but walking around here yourself will give an even more special impression. Feeling and experiencing it yourself can perhaps also give that "love at first sight" experience.'
