Stone casale with view and olive grove, Montalcino – Tuscany
Stone façade, panoramic views, olive groves, elegant Tuscan former farmhouse for sale in the hills of Montalcino. Set amidst the rolling hills surrounding Montalcino, this charming 19th-century Tuscan farmhouse offers a rare blend of timeless beauty, rustic elegance, and captivating views that stretch across the horizon. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside and reached via a scenic country lane, the property enjoys a serene and private location, just moments from one of Tuscany’s most prestigious wine estates. The house spans approximately 250 square meters over two levels and sits within 3.2 hectares of private carefully tended grounds, enriched by 150 mature olive trees, lovingly maintained by a neighbouring farmer. The traditional stone façade and authentic architectural features evoke the soul of rural Tuscany with arched doorways, terracotta flooring, vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams: all tell the story of a bygone era. The main floor comprises a luminous living area, anchored by a majestic fireplace that radiates warmth and character. A hand-crafted terracotta stove adds further charm to the adjacent dining aere. The kitchen is both practical and inviting, complemented by a cellar that could be easily converted into a guest bathroom. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the Val d’Orcia, allowing natural light to bathe every corner of the home. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters include three well-proportioned bedrooms and two tastefully finished bathrooms, offering comfort and style in equal measure. Although restored roughly 30 years ago, the property now presents an ideal opportunity for bespoke interior updates. The absence of a central heating system allows for the installation of a modern, energy-efficient solution, such as a heat pump with hot/cold split units—ensuring year-round comfort and sustainability. The estate also holds exceptional potential for outdoor living: subject to the necessary permissions, a private swimming pool could be added, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding landscape to create a tranquil retreat for family and guests. Located just 500 metres from the celebrated “Il Marroneto” winery and 1 km from the historic village of Montalcino—with its vibrant culinary scene and world-renowned Brunello wines—this property embodies the quintessential Tuscan lifestyle. Whether envisioned as a refined countryside residence or a boutique hospitality venture, this Montalcino casale is a magnificent offering—where heritage, nature, and modern living come together in perfect harmony.
