HOUSE OF THE WILD PEPOLINO - Mountain Farmhouse with Panoramic View
Property for Sale Exclusively with another Agency.
Welcome to Casa del Pepolino Selvatico, a charming 19th century mountain farmhouse located at 1000 metres above sea level in the charming municipality of Abetone and Cutigliano, a few kilometres from the picturesque village of Melo, the medieval village of Cutigliano and 4 km from the ski slopes.
A beautiful 19th century mountain house with exposed stone, and a flat garden furnished and partly paved with stone, a "basin" with steps arranged in an amphitheatre, all full of grass with blue hydrangeas growing alongside.
Down the valley the panorama of the Tuscan hills. Imagine that when the sky is clear you can also see the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island of Elba.
The arrival is a fascinating experience: a road paved with MacAdam stone (which includes the laying of a new ecological and bio pavement) winds through the beech woods to a suggestive square paved with ancient stones.
From here, a breathtaking view opens up over the flat garden, framed by blue hydrangeas and meadows dotted with Pepolino Selvatico, an aromatic variety of mountain oregano.
The atmosphere of this farmhouse immediately captures your attention, with its suggestive surrounding woods, the ancient mule tracks and the charming stone houses, renovated with skill and love for detail. When I first crossed the threshold of this home, I was certain that it was the perfect place.
Welcomed with kindness by the owners, I had the pleasure of exploring this house that tells ancient and modern stories at the same time.
The renovation, carried out with passion by the owner in 2010, has preserved the authenticity and warmth of this mountain home, while introducing practical and functional elements, ensuring a welcoming and comfortable environment.
The owner tells me that the house has the typical archetype of the mountain farmhouses of the municipality of Abetone and Cutigliano: a basic structure of 10x20 meters, solid and welcoming. The cyclopean stone walls, elegantly plastered on the inside, support the structure with sturdiness.
The rooms, wisely arranged, offer sufficient space and a harmonious layout. The ceilings, adorned with beams, tiles and boards, envelop the rooms with a sense of protection and warmth. The atmosphere is enriched by the fireplaces, the charm of the stone of the walls, the smooth wood of the floors and ceilings, and the mastery of the wrought iron; all this creates a feeling of authenticity and belonging.
He carefully advises me about the choice of wooden floors, which I wanted throughout the house: they were laid by hand, deliberately irregular, and their slight creaking conveys the rustic character that only a handmade floor can offer. He also assures me that they are easy to clean.
The roof, a 200-year-old jewel, proudly displays its wooden structure and slate covering, providing solidity and protection. Although the boards have been replaced, the original character has been preserved, and the roof has been properly insulated.
The ground floor hosts the spaces dedicated to daily life, with a bright dining room, a cozy living room with fireplace, an equipped kitchen and a sitting room reserved for moments of relaxation. The wooden floors, laid by hand with artisanal care, add a touch of rusticity and character, transmitting a sense of warmth and familiarity. The upper floor hosts three large attic bedrooms, two spacious bathrooms and a room dedicated to home cinema, complete with high-speed internet connection.
Outside, the garden offers a pleasant and well-kept space, enriched by an ancient well and a small building used as a storage room. With the possibility of installing an in-ground swimming pool overlooking the valley, the garden becomes an oasis of relaxation and leisure, surrounded by meadows and woods that extend for 25,000 square meters, where the Wild Pepolino grows, rich in flora...
