Historic Panoramic Farmhouse within Walking Distance of Cortona

At the heart of the estate, the main farmhouse unfolds across approximately 247 sq.m. and reflects the layered character of a home that has evolved over centuries, where historical identity and everyday liveability remain closely intertwined.

The presence of multiple independent entrances gives the house a naturally versatile rhythm, allowing different parts of the property to function with a degree of autonomy while preserving the sense of a coherent private residence.

Ground Floor:
Entering the ground floor, the house opens directly into a study, which naturally acts as the point of transition for this level.
To the right, the layout leads to one of the bedrooms, while the left-hand side of the floor accommodates a second bedroom, a bathroom and the technical room.
The atmosphere feels more intimate on this level, with spaces designed around privacy and comfort, clearly distinct from the more social areas of the house.

First Floor:
The first floor, which also benefits from its own independent external access, has been arranged as a more autonomous part of the house.
The entrance opens directly into the living room, with the bedroom positioned to the right and the kitchen and bathroom to the left.
This naturally allows the level to function as a self-contained apartment within the wider property.

Basement Floor:
The basement floor opens into the main living areas, where the atmosphere shifts towards a more convivial and social rhythm.
The stairs lead directly into the kitchen, complete with pantry. To the left, the space opens into a generous reception room that can comfortably accommodate both living and dining, followed by a second sitting room centred around a fireplace, creating a warmer and more intimate atmosphere.
This floor also benefits from several independent access points directly connected to the panoramic terrace, strengthening the relationship between the interiors and the outdoor spaces.

The materials that shape its interiors are: exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, brick arches and pietra serena stone details, all contributing to its historic identity.

A collection of ancillary buildings completes the estate, adding both practical support spaces and further character to the property’s rural identity.
These include 2 storage buildings of approximately 43 sq.m. and 46 sq.m. respectively, together with an additional tool shed and covered structure totalling around 52 sq.m., all supporting the day-to-day management of the estate and its surrounding land.
Further along the hillside, a small historic hunting tower adds a more distinctive and atmospheric element, reinforcing the sense of history and connection between the property and the surrounding landscape.

Water supply is ensured by 2 private wells, while heating is provided by a GPL gas system with radiators, supported by both a wood-burning fireplace and a pellet stove.
Air conditioning is installed on the first floor and in one of the ground-floor bedrooms, ensuring comfort during the warmer months.
From a technical perspective, the property is also equipped with a 6 kW electrical system, a comprehensive alarm system with internal and external sensors and video surveillance.

The estate extends across approximately 3 hectares of private land, unfolding across the hillside in a way that fully embraces the surrounding landscape and panoramic position.
Planted with approximately 580 olive trees, the grounds reinforce the property’s connection to Tuscany’s agricultural heritage, while the elevated setting allows views to stretch across the valley below.

One of the most distinctive outdoor features is the 8×4 swimming pool, created from an ancient stone basin, a detail that allows it to sit particularly naturally within the historical character of the estate.

The panoramic terracing surrounding the house creates a strong relationship between the interiors and outdoor living, offering spaces equally suited to quiet moments, long summer lunches or more informal entertaining immersed in the beautiful landscape.

Set in the hills just above Cortona, the property occupies a striking position overlooking the surrounding valley, with the unusual advantage of being able to reach the historic centre on foot.

Often considered one of Italy’s most beautiful hilltop towns, Cortona is a place where history remains deeply woven into everyday life. Originally an important Etruscan centre, its ancient origins are still visible in the historic walls and medieval architecture that continue to define the town today. Stone streets, artisan workshops, traditional trattorias and panoramic viewpoints create an atmosphere that feels distinctly Tuscan, intimate in scale yet rich in character.
Cortona is also deeply connected to the region’s food and wine culture, while its position near the Umbrian border and Lake Trasimeno expands the range of nearby destinations and experiences.

Beyond the immediate proximity to the town, the property remains well positioned for exploring central Italy, with Arezzo, Montepulciano and Perugia all within comfortable reach, while the nearest airports include Perugia, Florence and Pisa.
