Stone Farmhouse with Swimming Pool, Olive Grove and Self-Contained Flats near Montalcino – Tuscany REF. GRO307 Set in the hills separating the Val d’Orcia from the Maremma, just a few kilometres from Monte Amiata and 25 km from Montalcino, stands this traditional Tuscan stone farmhouse, which has been looked after by the same family for over twenty years. A property that bears the marks of constant, genuine care – not that of a renovation carried out as an investment, but that of those who have lived here through every season and know every corner of the land. The estate covers 2.5 hectares and features over 80 centuries-old olive trees, a panoramic swimming pool overlooking the countryside, and a 450-square-metre main building spread over two levels, with a layout designed to cater for both private living and hospitality. The ground floor: Organised into three independent flats, each with its own entrance and separate external access. Two of them feature two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen with an open-plan living area. The third is a more intimate unit, comprising a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen-cum-living room. This flexible layout, already well-established in the seasonal holiday rental market, can generate income during the warmer months without interfering with the private residence on the upper floor. The upper floor: The main residential level best captures the spirit of this property. Three bedrooms, a spacious living room with panoramic views over the olive groves and surrounding hills, a dining room and a country-style kitchen, all with the original architectural features intact: exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and handcrafted finishes. A space lived in all year round, with the quiet solidity of a property that has never needed to impress. Outside, a majestic old pear tree casts its shade over the front of the villa, creating the natural backdrop for summer al fresco dining. The private swimming pool is positioned to make the most of the hillside views. Gardens, footpaths and olive groves complete a landscape that changes with the seasons without ever losing its balance.
