Tuscany, Siena, Sarteano, Italy

Historic, beautifully renovated estate with a swimming pool and land, set in the heart of the Val d’Orcia Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Set in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, this remarkable estate was founded in 1567 as a Franciscan convent, later becoming a farmhouse within the La Foce estate of the Marchesi Origo, before a masterful restoration by a renowned Italian architect transformed it into its present artistic residence.

Set within a 15,000 sq m park, the property offers interiors rich in warmth and tradition, framed by sweeping panoramic views over the iconic Val d’Orcia hills. The architectural layout is defined by an elegant rectangular structure in exposed stone and brick, opening onto two charming internal courtyards. These are harmoniously arranged and connected by striking round arches leading to the main entrance of the estate.

The stone farmhouse extends to approximately 600 sq m of living space over two floors, retaining the authentic character of the Tuscan farmhouse, enhanced by original materials and finishes, including traditional terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed wooden beams and handmade terracotta mezzane tiles, as well as wooden window frames and doors with double glazing.

The ground floor comprises a charming masonry kitchen with a pantry, an elegant dining room defined by a striking full brick arch, and two adjoining living rooms connected by refined wood panelling and enhanced by a beautiful fireplace. This level also accommodates four bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.

The first floor, accessible via an internal staircase as well as two external staircases - one with a loggia and one with a terrace - features a second kitchen and a refined library lounge with a fireplace. This level further comprises four additional bedrooms, four bathrooms and an elegant vestiaire.

Outside, a porticoed courtyard adjacent to the kitchen, complete with an outdoor fireplace and antique wood-fired oven, provides an ideal setting for open-air dining.

The pool area features two pergolas, an elegant 12x6 m biodynamic infinity pool, heated and finished in travertine and concrete, and a 3x3 m travertine hot tub, all set against panoramic views over the valley.

Additional features include a 210 sq m underground garage, a large external parking area accommodating up to 60 cars, an ancient agricultural silo converted into an industrial laundry, and a further 12 ha of arable land.

The estate is surrounded by a 15,000 sq m park, thoughtfully planted with fruit trees, olive groves, vineyards, lavender, and rows of oak, holm oak, pine and cypress trees, alongside a 6,000 sq m English lawn with an irrigation system, a 100 sq m vegetable garden enclosed by a dry-stone wall, and a small cypress grove.

The scale and morphology of the grounds also offer ideal conditions for agricultural or equestrian pursuits.
