Tuscany, Siena, Siena, Italy

A beautifully restored stone farmhouse with a stream, a panoramic loggia and a wood-fired oven, in the hills of Sarteano REF. SAR270 In the Sienese hills surrounding Sarteano — a medieval village perched between the Val di Chiana and the Val d’Orcia, renowned for its thermal springs and a landscape that has remained unspoilt over time — stands Casale Il Ruscello, a stone farmhouse fully renovated in 2017 using high-quality materials and brand-new fixtures and fittings, which has managed to preserve the authentic spirit of Tuscan rural architecture whilst offering every modern comfort. Spanning several levels and covering an area of approximately 209 square metres, the farmhouse stands out for its spacious layout and the attention to detail in its finishes. On the ground floor, an entrance loggia leads into the living room with a spacious open-plan kitchen, complemented by a guest bedroom with a wardrobe, a utility room and a bathroom. On the first floor, two double bedrooms with panoramic balconies and a study with en-suite bathroom ensure privacy and unobstructed views of the countryside. On the second floor, a hobby room with a panoramic loggia and a separate entrance further expands the property’s potential uses, lending itself equally well to a creative space or a self-contained guest suite. A terrace completes the outdoor layout. Notable high-quality features include solar panels, a convertible pellet boiler, a water softener, thermally insulated windows with security grilles and completely new bathrooms — a combination of features that make the farmhouse energy-efficient, comfortable and environmentally friendly. Rounding off the property are a double garage of approximately 72 square metres, grounds of approximately 2,000 square metres featuring a small olive grove and orchard, a wood-fired oven and a private stream — a rare and precious feature capable of transforming every season into a unique sensory experience. Casale Il Ruscello is a property ready to move into, ideal as a prestigious private residence or holiday home in the heart of southern Tuscany, just a few kilometres from the thermal baths of Sarteano, Cetona, Chianciano Terme and Montepulciano.
