Description
The hamlet is 685 metres above sea level and approximately 15 minutes' drive from the centre of town. It is a peaceful retreat with fresh air and wonderful views. There is a small wellness centre with sauna, jacuzzi and holistic centre next door to the house and 2 restaurants in the hamlet within walking distance.
The property is steeped in a rich and fascinating history and started off as a watch tower but was later used as the summer residence of the bishop. Locals speak of a secret tunnel linking the chapel of the house to a church about an hour's walk away in Montecasale, which was built in 12th century and given to Saint Francis of Assisi in 1213.
In recent years, the house has been fully restructured with modern interior elements for comfort whilst maintaining the authenticity of the original building.
The house is set out over 4 floors for a total of approx. 200 sq m, as follows:
Basement: Secondary entrance to the property and small laundry area/bathroom and accessed externally, a small, deconsecrated chapel with alter.
Ground floor: Conservatory, entrance/reception, W.C., living/dining room, kitchen, second living room (or adjoining bedroom for children), double bedroom and bathroom with shower.
First floor: 2 good sized double bedrooms, one of which with ensuite bathroom with shower, a large bathroom with bathtub and a suite consisting of a double bedroom, single bedroom and bathroom with shower.
Second floor: Master bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower with body jets, spacious living room with mezzanine level currently used as another sleeping area with 2 single beds (for private use only), kitchen/dining area and a stunning roof terrace with lovely panoramic views and plenty of space for sun beds and plumbing for a hot tub if desired.
The property has a private garden of approx. 100 sq m accessed from the conservatory via stone steps, suitable for sunbathing, a BBQ or even, subject to renewing the planning permission previously granted, a small swimming pool, although for the more adventurous swimmers there are refreshing freshwater pools in the river just ten minutes' walk from the house.
Casale della Montagna would make a wonderful full-time home with business possibilities. Its enchanting location would be a wonderful place to live and explore the local area and embrace life in Tuscany.
