4 bedrooms country house, 250 m²

Castiglion Fiorentino, Arezzo (province)

Country house with breathtaking views of Val di Chio, Montecchio Castle, Castiglion Fiorentino and Valdichiana valley

The property is located on a hill not far from Castiglion Fiorentino with all services and not far from Arezzo, which a bigger town with rich history and plenty of places of interest, boutiques and restaurants.
Location is the biggest advantage of this place. You can always change the garden, the house but not the views.  It is often underlined that location, location and location again is the most important feature of a property. And this one has one of the best locations in the area.
The house is a simple, but solid building realized in the eighties, according to the typical in those time architecture. You will not find here interiors with beamed ceilings or stone walls. Only part of the external wall of the ground floor has been covered in stones.  Not long ago the roof has been redone with reinforced beams. With few and not extremely expensive interventions, the exteriors could be made much nicer: different colour of the walls and the concrete railing, along the stairs leading to the first floor, could be replaced with hand casted iron.
The ground floor, which featured a large garage, one room and bathroom was turned into a dining room and kitchen. Internal staircase leads to the first floor, which has a bathroom, kitchen, sitting room with open fireplace and three bedrooms. There is another bedroom on the upper level together with a large storage space.
Floors are in terracotta. Double glazed windows and window shutters are in solid wood. Internal door are in quality wood. Heating runs on LPG gas. Water comes from private water well.
The land measures almost 3500 sq.m. on three terraces, and surround the house on all four sides. Trees, planted several years ago, have grown much and disturb the views, but removing some of the branches and perhaps a few trees, would unveil the beautiful panorama of Val di Chio, Montecchio Castle, Castiglion Fiorentino and Valdichiana.
The land is partially fenced and has an automatic entrance gate.  Access is through tarmac road with last few hundred metres of well-maintained dirt road.
