4 bedrooms villa, 475 m²

Asciano, Siena (province)

With a private chapel and panoramic views, traditional stone country villa for sale in the heart of the Crete Senesi near Asciano, south of Siena. Located in one of the most historically and scenically interesting settings in Tuscany, on the ancient road between Asciano, San Giovanni d'Asso, the Abbey of Monte Oliveto and the village of Buonconvento, with hills, olive groves, rows of cypress trees and spectacular views over the gullies of the Crete Senesi to the Val d'Orcia. With easy access from a driveway with tall cypress trees and the garden, the farmhouse is an old stone structure built on three above-ground levels with typical Tuscan features: bricks and stonework, roofs with terracotta tiles and bricks. An historical chapel stands on the garden and conserves its original features dating back to 1716. Recovered in several stages over the years it is in good condition and well maintained but needs an "upgrade" with new and contemporary comforts. A large covered loggia houses the outdoor living area with dining and a fireplace. Inside, the residency retains its rustic character and original materials with large brick arches, wooden beams, fireplaces, exposed brick walls and terracotta floors, and where living rooms and old kitchens follow one another, creating a fascinating dwelling full of historical character. The living areas are arranged both on the ground and first floors, together with a total of four double bedrooms. Perfect for both residential and as an holiday home to live with family and friends or to host tourists and travellers for their vacations.
