A timeless Tuscan stone farmhouse between sky and earth
Just 15 km from the enchanting town of Cortona, nestled amidst the gentle hills and centuries-old woods of the Cortona mountains, stands this extraordinary stone farmhouse, originally built in the 1800s and lovingly preserved in all its authentic charm. A place where beauty and serenity embrace every corner, where the landscape seems untouched by time, and every stone holds the memory of ancient traditions and rural life.
Surrounded by approximately 2000 sqm of private land, fully fenced for privacy and tranquillity, the property is part of a small and delightful historic hamlet, where narrow lanes, blooming gardens, and panoramic vistas create a storybook setting. Here, nature reigns supreme: the songs of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle whisper of nearby streams provide a constant, soothing backdrop to daily life.
The farmhouse, offering around 121 sqm of living space, is independent and set over two floors, retaining all its original materials and architectural features: exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and stone walls, creating a warm, welcoming, and deeply Tuscan atmosphere.
On the ground floor, a spacious kitchen-living room with a grand stone fireplace invites you to gather around the fire in the cooler months, or open the windows in summer to let in the fragrant air of the countryside. The room’s old wood-beamed ceilings and rustic details exude authenticity, while large openings flood the space with natural light.
From the living area, step directly out onto a charming covered veranda with panoramic views — the perfect setting for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or simply losing yourself in the breathtaking scenery as the sun sets behind the hills, painting the valley with shades of gold and crimson.
A comfortable internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where you'll find two beautiful bedrooms, each offering splendid views across the valley and the surrounding greenery. Sunlight dances across the antique beams and stone walls, creating a serene, timeless ambiance. Between the bedrooms, a small, picturesque balcony offers an intimate spot for morning breakfasts or quiet evening reflections, surrounded by the scents and sounds of nature.
Completing the property is an independent entrance cellar at the rear of the farmhouse, perfect for storing fine wines, olive oil, and local delicacies, or converting into a creative workshop or intimate tasting room.
The farmhouse is equipped with autonomous GPL heating, a shared well with a nearby historic villa, and a private parking area that accommodates two to three cars.
In excellent structural condition, the property would benefit from some updates to modern standards but retains its enchanting, authentic character, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of genuine Tuscan history.
This is not just a house — it is a sanctuary for the soul, a place where the seasons gently mark the passage of time, where the simple pleasures of rural life can be rediscovered, and where one can reconnect with the quiet beauty of nature.
Ideal both as a primary residence for those seeking to escape the noise of modern life, or as a holiday retreat or boutique hospitality project, this property has all the potential to become a haven of rare beauty and peace.
A place where Tuscany reveals its true essence: a home of stone, sky, and dreams.
