5 bedrooms farmhouse, 297 m²

Sovicille, Siena (province)

This beautiful 3-level, semi-detached, stone farmhouse, is located about 15 km (10 miles) SW of the city of Siena & about 500m (1/4 mile) from the Etruscan village of Orgia.
The 300 m² (3300sq ft) house, built circa 1000, is a single family that could easily be separated into two separate units.
The main entrance is up a few stairs, across a large loggia or porch.
The living area consists of a large living/dining area with a large, open Tuscan-style fireplace.  The bright and spacious kitchen has new travertine marble countertops & new cabinets. Also, on the same level, is a large family room/office.
Three bedrooms are located on the top level. The spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a large bathroom with a tub and separate shower.
The other 2 bedrooms share a full bath & large hall area, perfect for a dedicated work/study area.
The ground floor level, which can be closed off as a separate unit, boasts a large open floor plan, living/dining/kitchen area, including a laundry room which has interior & exterior access. This level also includes a full bathroom, a spacious primary bedroom, and a smaller bedroom - perfect for guests or an extra office workspace. The ground floor, while having a separate entrance, is connected to the main living area by an interior flight of stairs.
Renovations & upgrades over the years include insulated refinished plaster walls, handmade terracotta tile floors, and ceilings rebuilt with exposed hand-hewn chestnut beams. 
The house sits on a lovely 6,600m² (1.5-acre) parcel bordering the “River Merse Nature Reserve*”, with expansive views of the Tuscan countryside and the towers of Siena.
It includes a small fruit orchard, beautifully terraced vegetable gardens and a nicely situated above-ground swimming pool. Several outbuildings and workshop surround a lovely, enclosed, partially covered courtyard & patio/bbq area.
The 130 m² (1200 sq ft) patio roof is supported by an ancient stone column, typical of Sienese rural buildings.
House is heated with natural gas via two separate boilers, one for the ground floor and one main/upper area.
The owner holds a current certificate of habitability. The sewage system meets the required standards as well as the authorization for drainage, municipal water supply, and electrical connection.
