This natural stone house, with 180 m² of floor space, is detached on three sides. It includes an outbuilding with a rose arbour measuring 50 m² and a garden of 350 m², as well as two sun terraces. The property features outdoor seating areas and offers a stunning panoramic view. It is situated 30 minutes from Florence in the Montalbano hills, in a very quiet location at the end of a private road, approximately 150 metres above sea level. It is surrounded by olive groves and two neighbouring houses.
This antique Tuscan stone house (rustico) is situated in the area around Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, and Lamporecchio. It underwent extensive restoration and renovation between 1995 and 2000. The house is surrounded by a terraced garden featuring a large covered outdoor seating area, a beautiful large rubble stone wall and two sun terraces, as well as ten olive trees (yielding an average of approx. 10 litres of oil per year) and a one-third share of a large communal courtyard. It is possible to purchase the neighbouring plot to build a swimming pool.
The house is almost entirely furnished (a few individual pieces will be taken away) with antique, valuable country-style furniture. The rooms are clearly laid out, with no awkward corners or alcoves. On the first floor, there is a fantastic panoramic window.
The stone house has heating in all rooms (central heating via a wood-burning stove (termocucina)). It can be heated using wood, pellets or briquettes. Telephone and internet connections are available.
There is an extension housing a utility room with all necessary connections (allowing for the easy installation of an additional bathroom), as well as a 3,000-litre water tank, a washing machine and a hot-water boiler. The property has a contractually guaranteed right to draw water from the spring, which bubbles away merrily. A very nice couple lives in the neighbouring house (white with red shutters); they run a small B&B and are happy to keep an eye on things. However, their entrances face completely the other way.
