ROMANTIC VILLA - EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY to
develop SPECTACULAR HIDEAWAY WITH CHARACTER
- PANORAMIC VIEW in HISTORIC setting . 10
acres of wooded hillside. - ANCIENT HOUSE
enhanced by FAMOUS ARCHITECT in the 1950s
with ENORMOUS POTENTIAL

Set in one of the most enchanting locations
in Tuscany, this remarkable property stands
out for its unique features.

The ancient medieval house, belonging to an
aristocratic family, was extended and re-
modelled in the 1950s by the famous
architect Pierluigi Spadolini (the Italian
Frank Lloyd Wright of the time) who
introduced a new contemporary style while
retaining the archetypical character of the
local architecture.

The property stands on a hill with panoramic
views over surrounding hillsides and
castles.
The 10 acres grounds contain deciduous and
conifer woodlands, a natural water spring
and a waterfall.

Although the house and garden requires
refurbishment, the property presents an
EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A HOME OF
OUTSTANDING BEAUTY.

One of the main features is the sitting room
which rises two storeys in height. It has
finely crafted wooden staircase and landing,
a log-fire, marble floors from the local
quarry and triple French window overlooking
the surrounding woodlands.

The property is arranged on three floors for
approximately 300 square metres (3230 square
feet)

THE REGION

One of Italy`s best kept secrets, the
Casentino valley is a relatively unkown
region of Tuscany.

Clusters of small villages are scattered
around the scarcely populated hills, while
the rugged peaks of the Appennine mountains
create a dramatic background.

This unique villa offers a wide variety of
environments: from the thick forests of
Camaldoli and Vallombrosa, to the rolling
hills and gentle valleys surrounding the
Arno river. The area is a rich mosaic of
farmsteads and vineyards with the whole
region soaked in history and artistic
treasures. Ancient churches, abbeys,
monasteries and castles are intrinsic to the
soul of this unique place.

Whether your interest is walking,
mountaineering, cycling, trekking, swimming,
horse riding, hang gliding, golf and even
winter skiing, you will find that the region
caters for a vast range of leisure
activities.
