10 bedrooms farmhouse, 830 m²

Cortona, Arezzo (province)

This stunning estate, nestled in the gentle rolling hills of the Val di Chiana and located a short distance from Cortona and Lake Trasimeno, comprises an elegant main villa of approximately 610 sqm spread over three levels, alongside a guesthouse of about 215 sqm divided into four charming apartments.
The main villa welcomes you on the ground floor with a bright entrance, two spacious living rooms, one enhanced by a stone fireplace that warms the ambiance on chilly evenings, a kitchen with a veranda overlooking the lush greenery, a guest bathroom, and a convenient laundry room. Adjacent to the house is a characteristic BBQ and bar area with a wood-fired oven, sheltered under a porch ideal for al fresco dining, perfect for enjoying mild summer evenings. Just a few steps down a short staircase leads to the cellar, equipped with barrels and a table for intimate wine tastings with friends.
The sleeping quarters are spread over the first and second floors, symmetrically organized: each level features four bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms, providing ample space and privacy for family and guests.
The guesthouse, designed over two levels, hosts two apartments on the ground floor, composed as follows: living area, kitchenette, and bedroom with bathroom; and a layout featuring a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, along with a gym area and a storage/garage space. The first floor accommodates an additional apartment, also including a bedroom, living area, and bathroom, ideal for ensuring privacy and autonomy.
Outside, the estate is complemented by a covered swimming pool measuring 6x12 meters and an enchanting navigable pond of 10,000 sqm, mirroring the sky and countryside like a Tuscan masterpiece. The grounds, totaling around 3 hectares, also host ninety olive trees, contributing an authentic and timeless atmosphere to this exceptional property.
The property was renovated around the 2000s by the previous owner, Marquis Antinori, a figure associated with the renowned winery of the same name. Some modernization works have been carried out over the years, but the property would benefit today from a cosmetic restyling that would enhance its charm and potential.
The property is equipped with all main utilities. Heating is autonomous and powered by LPG, while water supply is guaranteed by a private well approximately 140 meters deep. Along with the 10,000 sqm lake, the villa also features an alarm system with video surveillance, electric gate, and internet connection.
Villa di Mezzo is ideal both as a primary residence and as a summer retreat for holidays. The presence of the annex and the internal layout of the spaces also make the property perfect for inclusion in the tourist–accommodation market, further strengthened by its proximity to renowned Cortona and Lake Trasimeno.
The property is located a short distance from Castiglione del Lago, reachable in about 10 minutes and equipped with all essential services. Cortona is 20 minutes away, while Montepulciano can be reached in about 30 minutes. The nearest airports are Perugia, 40 minutes away, and Florence, about an hour and a half away.
