Tuscany, Pisa, Volterra, Italy

Amazing, fully renovated 5 bedroom farmhouse full of character and charm, nestling in 98 hectares of land with olive trees and fruit trees, fantastic infinity pool and outbuilding, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful, elevated location near Volterra.

Situated 20 minutes from the amazing Etruscan town where it is possible to find all amenities and shops and 1 hour drive from the Coast. The property is accessible through a 5km unpaved road in perfect condition, the closest restaurant is 6 km by car, in a little ancient borgo on a hilltop.

The current owner bought the property in 2013 when it was a ruin and took care of the reconstruction, all renovations have been done to an extremely high quality and with prestige materials mixing the old style of the authentic farmhouse with modern interior design and technology.

The farm comprises 98 ha of land mostly arable and pasture with 600 olive trees, some fruit trees and ponds for the irrigation.

The house is set in the middle with a dominant position and accessible through an automatic gate. It is a 730m2 building (net floor area) on two storeys, a real gem and is composed of an amazing central hallway, an impressive living room whose walls are wooden coated giving a charming and warm atmosphere to the room, like an old medieval castle, a huge open space kitchen/dining-room and pantry, industrial design and a fully supplied kitchen and wood burning oven, laundry and boiler room.

On the other side of the hallway it is possible to find a spacious sitting-area/cinema room, characterised by amazing cross-vaulted ceilings, (this room was originally the old stable of the property), a bathroom, elevator leading to the first floor, 2 enormous bedrooms with bathroom en-suite and a big laboratory-workshop with bathroom.

All rooms boast huge French doors facing the garden around the villa and bring brightness to the rooms and a feel of continuity between the outdoor and indoor space. The first floor is accessible though an external and internal staircase, as well as with the lift for disabled people.

The first floor has been partially renovated and it comprises 3 huge bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, while 180m2 have been left unfinished (shell) and more precisely 6 big rooms which can be renovated as additional bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, or it would be even possible to create a second apartment.

The villa has been properly insulated, the bearing walls are 1m thick and the heating system is under floor with heat pumps, also controlled with home automation (domotics technology).

The owners have installed a 19.5 kw photovoltaic system over the roof of the warehouse, which is near the building. All windows are double glazed and with safety glass, the floors are in resin or with huge tiles and the vaulted ceilings boast amazing old terracotta tiles.

The property boasts a drainable system in order to avoid the humidity inside and offers better insulation/waterproofing.

The grass is perfectly irrigated and there are several well kept fruit trees. The house boasts private water springs and therefore is not connected to the water mains. It is self-efficient, sustainable.

The property is completed by a 270m2 warehouse for agricultural use, tractors and garden tools, and an infinity salt and heated water swimming pool.

The solarium is in travertine stone and the automatic temporary cover permits the use of the swimming pool all year long.

This is a real jewel, a fantastic place far from the noise and the chaotic life of the towns, immersed among the rolling sweet hills of Tuscany, where every day it is possible to admire different fantastic scenery and colours. A dream that comes true.
