3 bedrooms house, 195 m²

Pomarance, Pisa (province)

Former stone farm building, recently restored to create a beautiful 3 bedroom detatched home with independent guest unit. Set in a private plot of around 2560 sqm (0.75 acres) with heated salt-water pool, woodland, olive trees, and panoramic views to the hills. Located at the edge of a picturesque hamlet close to Volterra, there is a bar and restaurant a very short walk away.

The property was renovated in 2018-2020 by Scandinavian architects, combining contemporary design with the sympathetic use of high quality traditional materials including natural local stone, cotto flooring and chestnut beams.

The main house (167 sqm) consists of a modern kitchen and two living rooms on the ground floor. An internal staircase leads to the first floor with two bedrooms and a newly renovated bathroom. The detached guesthouse (26 sqm), created from an old stone outbuilding, is a comfortable dependence with one large bedroom and an ensuite bathroom, with a pergola in front.

Both have double doors opening onto large paved terraces, wonderful social spaces in which to gather and enjoy al fresco dining with beautiful views. A further covered terrace with a gas barbecue provides another option for enjoying the outside.

The heated saltwater swimming pool is located adjacent to the house with an outdoor shower and sun loungers.

The property is full of homely character, and within easy reach of Florence, Siena, and the coast. Ideal for an authentic Tuscan experience in beautiful surroundings at all times of the year.

The property is sold fully furnished, and features a very economical geothermal heating system.

The village is in the Municipality of Pomarance. The property is next to the village, approx. 50 m down the lane. It is a peaceful, unspoiled location, yet within strolling distance of a small local shop, 1 bar/restaurant, historic church and post office. The village seems caught in a time warp: in front of the house, there is an ancient wash area with a fountain, where in the past the women would go to wash their laundry. Pomarance itself is about 8 km away and has amenties including Coop supermarket, weekly market, banks, petrol stations, bars and restaurants, etc.
