Monticiano, Siena (province)

Are you looking for a house in the countryside in a typical Tuscan village near the cities of art and the sea? Val di Merse is a nature reserve in the province of Siena characterized by extensive forests, crossed by small streams that compose a relaxing and fairy-tale landscape on the way to the most beautiful beaches of Maremma. In addition to the scenic resources, the area is rich in medieval villages that have preserved their original appearance including San Lorenzo a Merse with its alleys, its stone-paved streets, where one has the perception that time has stopped and is amazed that the “little corner of Tuscany” cheers the sight and the soul. Thanks to its beauties, and to the “flavor of the past “that one breathes through the narrow streets, San Lorenzo becomes an area to be discovered. In front of the Church dating back to 1100 we offer for sale a property with original stone exteriors and private garden. The property is arranged on two floors with private access. On the ground floor we find a large living area with fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and veranda from which we access the exclusive garden of 200 sqm overlooking the surrounding countryside. We access the first floor via a convenient wooden staircase, where there is a further bright living from which we access the panoramic terrace. Also from the living room we access the night hallway in which we find four bedrooms as well as a windowed bathroom with shower. The property is in good state of maintenance and immediately available to be lived in. The property is completed by a large garage from which we access a tufa cellar ideal for storing wine and oil and a technical room used as a laundry area with independent access from the exclusive garden. Above it is located an attic with a window, which is usable and is accessed by an external metal staircase. It is the ideal property both for those who want to live away from the hectic city life and as a second home to enjoy moments of vacation and relaxation immersed in an 'oasis of peace. The Val di Merse is home to several attractions, the main ones of which are the imposing ruins of the Abbey of San Galgano, an excellent example of Gothic-Cistercian architecture, and the Hermitage of Montesiepi, known for the sword embedded by St. Galgano in the rock. It might surprise you that you can soak in the warm waters of the free “Bagni di Petriolo” hot springs along the riverbank……perhaps after a good trek, mountain bike ride or hike.
