4 bedrooms villa, 880 m²

Cortona, Arezzo (province)

In the countryside of Cortona, among cultivated fields and open views of the Tuscan landscape, we offer for sale a Leopoldine dating back to the late 18th century, already documented in the historical Leopoldine land registry. A property to be restored, characterized by ample volumes, original architectural elements, and the typical turret that distinguishes its profile.

The main building and the connected agricultural buildings develop an indicative area of approximately 880 square meters, offering the opportunity to recover a residence representative of Tuscan rural tradition.
Architecture and period details
The date 1797, engraved on the original fireplace in Serena stone, testifies to the property's 18th-century origins. The plastered facades, marked by brick cornerstones and arched openings, preserve the character of the original building.

Inside, barrel and cross vaults, predominantly ancient terracotta flooring, and portions in Serena stone tell the story of the property.

The Serena stone fireplace and the original pine beams in the ceilings of the first floor complete a set of valuable elements to be enhanced through a careful restoration intervention.
The residence and agricultural buildings
The Leopoldine develops over three levels. The ground floor rooms, once used for agricultural activities, include an entrance, four large cellars, a storage room, a bathroom, and a habitable kitchen, plus a large room used as a shed and an ancient wood-burning oven.

The first floor, accessible via an internal and external staircase, offers spaces to be reorganized during the renovation, with a habitable kitchen, a bathroom, and seven rooms to be dedicated to the living and sleeping areas.

Crowning the building is the characteristic turret of approximately 20 square meters, originally used as a dovecote, with an engraving depicting Saint Stephen on the external facade.

A connecting canopy unites the main building to the agricultural building, which includes former stables with ample volumes, tool sheds, and a cellar. Completing the property is an independent annex of approximately 36 square meters, once used as a shed and also to be renovated.
Land and outdoor spaces
The property has approximately 8,000 square meters in total between land and area pertaining to the buildings, in an open and non-isolated rural setting, with views of the surrounding countryside.

There are two wells to be recovered, testimony to the property's original agricultural vocation.
Condition and restoration potential
The entire complex requires a complete restoration, both in the residential area and in the agricultural spaces.

The size of the rooms and the presence of original architectural elements offer an interesting base for a restoration project as a private residence or for an eventual hospitality destination, to be evaluated in compliance with the historical constraint to which the property is subject and the necessary authorizations.
Location and connections
The property is located in a hamlet of Cortona, with the main services reachable in just over five minutes by car. The location allows you to live in the landscape of the Tuscan countryside while maintaining convenient connections with the centers of the territory.

The villages of the Valdichiana and the Val d'Orcia, including Montepulciano, Pienza, and Lucignano, represent some of the destinations reachable from the property. The Camucia-Cortona railway station and the A1 motorway exit at Valdichiana, near Bettolle, constitute the main references for connections to Florence and Rome.
