6 bedroom exclusive country house for sale in Pontassieve, Tuscany

On the hills of Valdisieve, not far from Rufina and Pontassieve, restored farmhouse with barn and medieval tower for sale. The property (460 sqm in total) now houses three residential units, all independent, for a total of 6 bedrooms. The garden surrounding the property is dotted with ornamental plants and houses the 14 × 7 m swimming pool, as well as 400 olive trees. The property is reached via an unpaved road (about 2 km) that leads directly to the communal road system, and from here essential services in Rufina can be reached in ten minutes. Most of Tuscany’s art cities (including Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, Arezzo and Pisa) are all reachable in less than two hours by car. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, CONDITION AND FINISHES The farmhouse (340 sqm – 3,658 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is a large two-story building that houses, in addition to two large storages, two independent living units (one inhabited by the owners, the other intended for reception). - The master apartment (225 sqm – 2,421 sqft) occupies most of the building and consists of an entrance hall, large living/dining room and kitchen on the ground floor; living room, three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor (plus small storage room with independent access from outside). - The guest apartment (45 sqm – 484 sqft) is on the ground floor and consists of living room with kitchenette, bedroom with walk-in closet and bathroom. The building has been entirely renovated, preserving with great care the historical features of the building wherever possible, allowing us to admire beautiful stone walls, original terracotta floors, cleaned wooden beams and wooden lintels. On the other hand, the old barn (120 sqm – 1,291 sqft, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), dating back to the 15th century, has been converted into a lovely outbuilding on two levels, both with direct access from the outside. On the upper level is the living area consisting of a dining room with kitchen and entrance hall, while going downstairs we find two bedrooms and a bathroom. Just below the house, nestled in the 6,000-sqm garden and reached by a gravel driveway framed by cypress trees, is the 14 × 7 m swimming pool equipped with a stone and grass solarium. At the corner of the garden stand the remains of a medieval tower, dating to the year 1000, which testify to the presence of a small defensive outpost in the area. EXTERIOR Beyond the garden, the property can count on about 7.9 hectares of agricultural land on which there are 385 olive trees, capable of producing an excellent Tuscan olive oil. This is followed by 3.0 hectares of arable land (also very suitable for planting a small vineyard, given the wine vocation of this land) and about 3.6 hectares of woodland (also usable to produce wood to be used for heating the house).
