More on the house and the area
A beautifully restored lime‑kiln farmhouse with authentic stonework, beamed ceilings, and a huge living room and bedrooms that look move‑in ready. Set in olive groves with a private pool and classic Tuscan hill views, it’s a photogenic, usable home that’s a real dream for full‑time living, though upkeep and rural access should be considered.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Large property requires ongoing upkeep (pool, olive grove, grounds).
- Rural/colline location — likely some distance to shops/services.
- Possible heritage/planning restrictions given original industrial fabric (tower) — check permits.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 85/100The cluster sits inside the Crete Senesi, a named clay-hill landscape characterised by gullied clay slopes (calanchi) and bands of arable fields and isolated farmsteads. The Benedictine abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore lies within 15 km and is a local landmark. Land use in the surrounding 15 km is predominantly agricultural, with cereal fields, olive groves and scattered woodland. The nearest city of size is Siena (about 25 km), which has a mainline railway station, hospital and university services and a historic centre listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is identified on maps and in tourism material as part of the Crete Senesi and is associated with the inland Siena agricultural landscape.
