MDI_C03_43
This unique 1-bedroom apartment for sale is set in a panoramic location within a beautifully restored hamlet only a few kilometres from Volterra'. The Borgo (hamlet) has its origins in the Middle Ages when it was a castle; thanks to expert restoration and the use of high-quality materials, the Borgo is now comparable to a luxury resort of its own kind.
In addition to the 18 private residences, divided between apartments and semi-detached homes, there is a chapel that has been completely restored and can be used for wedding ceremonies, a beautiful infinity swimming pool with wonderful views of Volterra and the surrounding countryside, a cypress-lined driveway, underground parking with garages, and outdoor parking.
THE HAMLET
The complex can be reached by a dirt road of about 2.5 km, which branches off directly from the provincial road leading to Volterra. Each residence in the hamlet boasts its own private garden, parking space and the use of the beautiful 10 x 20 m infinity pool with a breathtaking view of Volterra and the surrounding countryside.
The renovation of the hamlet took place in 2008, carried out with truly unique and extraordinary care in the traditional Tuscan style, recovering every single stone and brick of the original property and faithfully reconstructing the outlines of the existing buildings.
At present, there are 6 units out of a total of 18 available for sale, for which we have exclusive mandate.
The location is absolutely magical, and the interiors feature original vaulted ceilings in some rooms, and wooden beam ceilings in others, old terracotta floors, and the original stones of the house facades and exterior walls.
Each property has underfloor heating and is developed with spacious and bright bedrooms and bathrooms, all tiled by the well-known 'Francesco di Maio' tiles, while all the window frames are made in timber and are double-glazed.
The panoramic views are amazing, open on a natural and uncontaminated landscape; it is possible to see the typical Tuscan countryside with fruit trees, olive groves, as well as the famous wineries of the area with their rows of vines that make the landscape breathtaking.
In the remaining part of the hamlet, but somehow also separate, we find the manor house, divided into a large, private, living unit on the upper floor, while the ground floor houses a Bed and Breakfast for tourist use, with a restaurant. For the accommodation and restaurant part the property is actively looking for a manager. So, in the near future you may also have the convenience of an on-site restaurant, and accommodation for family and friends.
This type of property is both an excellent place to spend your holidays in an oasis of peace and where you can admire unique views, as a first home, and also to generate economic income through tourist rentals, given its particularity and proximity to the major centres of interest in Tuscany. In fact, in a short time it is possible to reach the most renowned areas.
