Main Features

Description

A piece of authentic Tuscany – a historic country house with 4 hectares of land near Volterra
An exceptional property for people seeking history, nature, tranquility and authentic Tuscan life.
Located just a 15-minute drive from the medieval town of Volterra, this special country house, around 800 years old, is nestled in the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside.
The property combines something that is rarely found today: a historic house with a rich history, plenty of space, its own land, olive trees and a distinctive view over the Tuscan hills.
Access is via a private gravel road used exclusively by residents. At the end of the road, the house and the expansive landscape come into view.
A house with 800 years of history
The oldest part of the house is about 800 years old and was originally built as a lookout tower. Over the centuries, it developed into a farm and the manor house of the estate.
Agriculture has been practiced here for generations. Until about 40 years ago, wine was produced on the estate; later, agricultural use increasingly focused on olive cultivation.
The history of the house is still palpable today. It is not a newly constructed building in a historical style, but a house that has grown over centuries with its own character and authentic atmosphere.

Spacious living space with many possibilities
With a living area of approximately 350 m², the house offers plenty of space and various possibilities for use.
The current room layout includes:
  • 6 bedrooms
  • 2 bathrooms
  • 1 Living room
  • another spacious room with flexible usage options
  • 2 kitchens, one of which is currently in use
  • Laundry room with washing machine
  • cellar
  • Technical room
The second kitchen is currently not in use. If needed, it could be renovated and reactivated as a kitchen, or alternatively converted into an additional living, working, or recreational space.
The additional large room also allows for various uses – such as a second living room, library, work area or spacious entrance and cloakroom area.
Due to its size and layout, the house is also suitable for two families, several generations, or for a combination of personal use and rental.

Renovated step by step with great care
Over the past few years, the historic house has been gradually restored and further developed.
Among other things, the following were:
  • the main roof was renovated,
  • the facade was renovated,
  • Windows partially renewed
  • the water pipes were replaced
  • a garden was created and
  • Several new terraces were built.
The heating pipes and radiators were also replaced at the end of the 1990s.
A wood-fired central heating system is present, but is currently not in operation, as the house has only been used during the summer months so far.
The house thus offers a beautiful combination of renovations already carried out and further individual design potential.

Terraces, pool and the view over the hills
The house's special location is also evident around the building.
To the east is the main entrance with a large terrace and a traditional fountain that collects rainwater.
To the west of the house are two newly built terraces with a pool. Here you can fully enjoy Tuscan life: long summer evenings, a glass of wine, views across the countryside and absolute peace and quiet.
Because the house is situated on a slight rise, almost all rooms offer a beautiful view over the Tuscan hills.
The garden covers approximately 1,000 m², its boundaries seamlessly blending into the property's own agricultural land. It is precisely this connection between garden and landscape that gives the property its unique, natural character.

4 hectares of Tuscan countryside
One of the most extraordinary features of this property is the approximately 4 hectares of agricultural land that belong to the house.
The land can be cultivated by neighboring farmers upon request. This makes it possible to preserve and utilize the extensive tracts of land without having to take over the entire cultivation oneself.
The property also includes olive trees. Their yield can be used to produce homemade olive oil for personal use – an authentic part of Tuscan life.
The property also features an old, spacious root cellar. Partially collapsed, it would require renovation for any future use. This area offers interesting potential for someone with an interest in historic buildings and unique projects.

A friendly and welcoming neighborhood
Directly adjacent are two more houses – entirely in keeping with the traditional podere, as has always been the custom in Tuscany. One is inhabited by the descendants of the original family of the estate, the second serves as a holiday home and is only used part-time.
The small community and the friendly, respectful coexistence of the residents are an essential part of this special place.
Here, one does not live completely isolated, but embedded in a small, established neighborhood – and yet with plenty of space, nature and privacy.

A special place for special people
This property is more than just a holiday home.
It is a place with 800 years of history, with its own land, olive trees, terraces, pool and a view that reminds you every day why Tuscany fascinates so many people.
It is a house for people who are not looking for a perfectly styled new building, but for character, authenticity and the opportunity to further develop a very special place.
Whether as a spacious private holiday home, as a multi-generational house, for two families or as a combination of personal use and rental – the size and structure of the house open up numerous possibilities.
