Country house with Syrah Vineyard and Pool in Cortona, Arezzo
On the slopes of the renowned town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo, lies this agricultural estate immersed in the Tuscan countryside. In a flat yet panoramic position, the property boasts a view over the famous Etruscan village, ensuring privacy among the lush rows of the vineyards. A charming double access via cypress tree-lined avenues and 600 meters/0.37 miles of unpaved road leads to the heart of the property. The main residence is a solid plastered stone farmhouse dating back to the early 1900s. Developed on two levels, the property offers a habitable surface of 301 sq mt/3240 sq ft. The interiors, currently in need of renovation, preserve the rustic Tuscan soul with terracotta floors and wooden window frames. The ground floor hosts a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry area, a cellar, and large clearing rooms, as well as an agricultural shed that can be used as a garage. The external staircase leads to the first floor, dominated by a large panoramic loggia. From here opens the main sleeping and living area, consisting of a bright living room, a second kitchen, four spacious bedrooms, and two bathrooms. To further enrich the volumes, the estate features a 100 sq mt/1076 sq ft guest house, perfect for being transformed into an exclusive annex. Outside, the well-kept 140 sq mt/1507 sq ft garden hosts a private swimming pool of about 10x4 meters/32x13 ft to be restored and updated in its systems, ideal for creating an outdoor relaxation area. The real jewel of the estate, however, lies in its extraordinary wine-making vocation: the property is embraced by a land extension of almost 15.83 hectares/39.1 acres, of which aprox. 12.5 hectares are entirely dedicated to a prestigious and productive Syrah vineyard. Just 9 km/5.6 miles from the historic center and strategically positioned with respect to communication routes, this farmhouse represents an investment with exceptional potential, perfect both as an elegant private residence in the greenery and as a luxury agricultural estate or relais in the heart of Tuscany.
