Infinity-pool country house with open views - Val d'Orcia
Restored in 2020, this country house features 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, an infinity pool, a large fireplace and natural spring-fed wells; for sale in Castiglion d’Orcia along the historic Via Francigena. The property, measuring approximately 380 sq m/4,090 sq ft and dating back to the 1800s, underwent a complete and sophisticated restoration in 2020 and is now presented in excellent condition. In addition to the current residence, there is the possibility to create a further 3 bedrooms plus a shared living area. Attention to architectural detail is evident throughout, with characteristic ceilings featuring elegant terracotta vaults and exposed wooden beams. The renovation project was conceived and overseen by specialist architects who adopted high-quality construction solutions, including the insulation of both walls and foundations through a crawl-space system using igloo technology, eliminating any trace of damp. The interiors reflect refined taste, with designer furnishings enhancing both style and practicality. The ground floor is accessed via an entrance hall leading to a living room dominated by a majestic fireplace, adjacent to the dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. A guest bathroom and a utility/laundry room complete the floor. The first floor is reached via both an internal and external staircase. Here are four double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. A further bedroom with bathroom is located in the attic level, accessed by an open staircase. The heating is provided by a GPL-fuelled radiator system, complemented by an electric hot/cold air-conditioning system. Outdoors, the standout feature is the private infinity pool with incomparable views stretching from Rocca d’Orcia to Monte Amiata. The pool has provision for heating. The property is served by mains water as well as water from natural spring-fed wells, and is offered fully furnished. Included is a project, currently in the approval phase, for the development of the adjacent land. The property also includes one hectare of mature, productive olive trees.
