6 bedrooms farm, 750 m²

San Quirico d'Orcia, Siena (province)

Casale Upupa, an oasis of tranquility between the Val di Chiana and Val d’Orcia, Sarteano, Siena – Tuscany

Ref. VAL142
On the hills that mark the natural border between the Val di Chiana and the Val d’Orcia, in one of the most picturesque corners of southern Tuscany, is this farmhouse of rare charm: an ancient 17th-century monastery skillfully transformed into a farmhouse, with outbuildings, a panoramic swimming pool and approximately 7 hectares of land.
Accessible via a scenic dirt road, the property immediately offers a sense of privacy and silence, immersed in a landscape context of absolute value, just minutes from Sarteano and in the heart of the Val d’Orcia area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The buildings
The complex comprises two buildings in local stone for a total of approximately 600 sq m, plus outbuildings for 150 sq m, and service areas. The interiors, bright and generous in size, retain the soul of Tuscan rural tradition: authentic materials, large fireplaces, warm and welcoming environments, the result of a careful renovation (2010) that has respected the original characteristics.



Main unit (on two levels): on the ground floor, there is a large living area with two large living rooms, both with a fireplace, as well as a modern and functional kitchen. A portion of the ground floor is currently in a raw state and offers the possibility of creating further 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, increasing the accommodation capacity or creating a guest/wellness area.
The upper floor, accessible via both an internal spiral staircase and a scenic external stone staircase, houses the sleeping area with two bedrooms and a bathroom.


Second living unit: organized with a comfortable living area with kitchen and large fireplace, two double bedrooms, a twin bedroom and a bathroom.


From the central cloister, you can also access a dependance with a double bedroom and bathroom, perfect for guests or staff.

Exterior and land
Around the buildings, a well-kept lawn embraces the structures and leads to the bean-shaped swimming pool, panoramic but well protected, ideal for living the summer in total privacy. Every view offers extraordinary glimpses: an open and harmonious landscape, which changes color with the seasons like a painting.
The land, of approximately 7 hectares, includes arable land, as well as vineyard and olive grove cultivations (approximately 500 sq m), with spaces perfect for those who wish to have a small production or a high-quality agriturismo project.
Thanks to the unique atmosphere, the privileged location and the versatility of the spaces, the property is perfect both as a charming private residence and as an investment in the hospitality sector, with easily expandable accommodation potential.
