description
Farmhouse to be restored, surrounded by about 96 hectares of land, for sale in the characteristic Tuscan town of San Giovanni d'Asso, in the municipality of Montalcino, in the province of Siena.
The context in which the property for sale is set is unique: the hillside position that dominates the entire surrounding scenery is ideal for appreciating the peace of these places.
The 984 sqm farmhouse dates back to the 19th century and is divided into two residential units: the first is accessed through an external stone staircase, while the second is accessed through the beautiful internal courtyard.
On the ground floor of 576 sqm there are several rooms used as sheds, stables, chicken coops, storage rooms, former pigsties, a cellar, an oven and a loggia.
The first floor of 408 sqm houses the two residential units: the first, accessible by an external staircase, consists of 7 rooms, a kitchen, a storeroom and two hallways; while the second, accessible by an internal staircase, consists of 4 rooms, 2 storage rooms, a bathroom, a hallway, a kitchen, a dining room and a barn.
The property has never undergone restoration work and has remained in its original state, carried out using exclusively local and original materials, such as the stone and external bricks, beams and flooring.
The property is completed by four outbuildings: an outbuilding for animals with a manure store of 32 sqm, an agricultural machinery shed of 73 sqm, a sheepfold of 400 sqm with a canopy of 240 sqm and a barn of 200 sqm.
The property has water and electricity connections and two wells for collecting rainwater.
The land of approximately 96 hectares is made up of about 68 hectares of arable land, about 16 hectares of woodland, about 5 hectares of IGT vineyard, about 2 hectares of grazing land, about 2 hectares of olive grove and about 3 hectares of uncultivated productive land.
The extraordinarily private setting in which the farmhouse stands is combined with the amplitude of the spaces that characterise the entire property, permitting its full exploitation either as an elegant private residence, or as a charming accommodation facility, or even as an holiday farm.
The property is located just a stone's throw from the region's main attractions, such as Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza.
