More on the house and the area
Beautiful, fully characterful stone casale with original beams, terracotta floors and a monumental fireplace — the interiors look lived-in and move-in ready. Set in absolute privacy surrounded by woodland with its own pool, small stone annex and wide valley views, this is a true Tuscan dream-home that needs normal upkeep rather than major renovation.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Access on about 2 km of country/unpaved road — very private but not urban-convenient.
- Large grounds, pool and outbuildings require regular maintenance and upkeep.
- Listed price is high (seen in facts) — not a budget bargain.
