6 bedrooms house, 330 m²

Sarteano, Siena (province)

Situated on the outskirts of the town with views back to the medieval centre and castle and out over the valley, this spacious ex mill has been carefully restored in 1995 to provide a large family home. Accessed by a cypress lined avenue and surrounded by a pretty garden with a large lawn area and an olive grove. Possibly because of the imposing façade the fact that the house is attached at the rear goes completely unnoticed and does not disturb in any way.
Internally the large barrel vaulted entrance hall divides 2 wings on the ground floor with the kitchen and living room on one side whereas the other could also transform into a guest wing, currently with an office, bedroom and bathroom as well as a walk in wardrobe. Upstairs there are currently 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Area:
Sarteano is ideally place between Rome and Florence, 6 kms. from the A1 Autostrada and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful areas of southern Tuscany but what makes it so special is the wonderful community with a strong cultural heritage. There are two small museums, Etruscan tombs and a medieval centre with some notable buildings including the renaissance theatre with an excellent theatrical Co. attached. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to satisfy every need and some very talented craftsmen. There are no tourist buses disgorging day trippers but rather a vivacious atmosphere with so many special events during the year that it would be hard to find a better place to be.
Land:
Just over 3/4 ha. stretching down on either side of the avenue with plenty of mature olives to produce your own olive oil.
Outbuildings:
Small building for the laundry with a covered portico, an ideal sitting area to enjoy the large lawn and garden.
2 Stone garages
Covered parking for 3 cars with photovoltaic panels forming the roof.
