Description
Description:
The property already present within the historical leopoldine cadastre dates back to the early 19th century and is on three levels composed as follows. The main structure of the leopoldina is connected by a canopy to a building that had agricultural use. The ground floor of the villa was used for agricultural activity and features an entrance hall, four large cellars, a storeroom, a bathroom and a habitable kitchen, as well as a large room used as a shed and an old wood-burning oven. From the connecting canopy there is access to the large attached portion with former stables with large volumes, tool shed and cellar. On the second floor of the villa with connection by internal and external posthumous staircase there is a habitable kitchen, a bathroom and 7 rooms divided between sleeping and living areas. On the top level there is the typical Leopoldine turret of about 20 square meters with an engraving depicting St. Stephen on the external facade. In total the structure develops for about 900 square meters.
Outbuildings:
The property enjoys an annex of about 36 sqm used as a former shed also in need of renovation.
Condition and finishes:
The property is to be renovated in its entirety both in the living and agricultural part with partial works already started recently. There are absent fixtures and fittings but the materials used and the stylistic choices make us realize that we are in front of what was a prestigious property. The floors are mainly in splendid original cotto, with some areas in pietra serena (typical Florentine characteristic). The fireplace is also in pietra serena, the rooms have splendid barrel and cross vaults, and the ceilings on the second floor return the original pine beams. Currently the roof has partial wind damage, there are also 2 wells to recover.
Outdoor space:
Outside, the property enjoys its own land of about 3400 square meters.
Potential uses.
The property lends itself to be an excellent solution for those who are looking for a typical Tuscan structure to renovate as a personal home or as a receptive structure taking advantage of the large volumes available. The property, given its historical importance, is listed.
Location and lifestyle
Located in a hamlet of Cortona, in a quiet and panoramic position but not too isolated, the farmhouse enjoys all services reachable in little more than 5 minutes by car. The property is perfectly connected to the main centers of Valdichiana and Valdorcia such as Montepulciano, Pienza, San Quirico, Lucignano and Monticchiello.

Other centers such as Siena, Arezzo and Perugia are easily reached in about 40 minutes by car.
