Description of buildings
Villa Toscana comprises the main villa, the old barn, now converted into a guesthouse, and a large storehouse.

The main villa
Built around an old viewing tower dating from the 18th century, it has a total surface area of around 439 sq.m, over two floors.
Inside there are currently two apartments with separate entrances, however, they are connected by an internal staircase and would be easy to bring back together.
The apartment on the ground floor has an entrance hall, a large living area with dining kitchen, the dining room, a spacious living room with fireplace, a glazed loggia/sitting room, a bedroom/study, a large utility room and a bathroom.
The other apartment is on the floor above, accessible via an indoor staircase and an outdoor spiral staircase, and is currently divided into a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and two further bedrooms with a bathroom.

The old barn/guest house
Next to the main villa with a total surface area of around 104 sq.m, on two floors.
The ground floor comprises a large living room with fireplace (kitchenette to be realized).
On the floor above there is the sleeping area, with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Finally, there is a storehouse measuring around 40 sq.m.

State and finishing
Villa Toscana has been restored and is in excellent condition.
The exteriors are partly plastered and partly exposed brickwork; the interiors are rustic, with tiled floors and wooden ceilings.
The property’s architecture fits in perfectly with the hilly Tuscan landscape.

External areas
The property’s land is completely fenced in, with two gates.
It measures around 5475 sq.m, with part being used for a garden and part with a small, fertile olive grove.
If desired, it would be possible to build a swimming pool, upon obtaining the necessary planning permission.

Use and potential uses
Thanks to its excellent location, panoramic and secluded while at the same time not far from a small town with everything you might need, and central in relation to some of Tuscany’s main historic centres and to the sea, Villa Toscana would be perfect both as a second home or as a main residence.
The two separate buildings and the villa’s current layout as two apartments also make this an ideal property for a small hospitality business.
