5 bedrooms villa, 300 m²

Trequanda, Siena (province)

In a scenic hamlet in the Sienese countryside near Trequanda, a charming former farmhouse for sale featuring a traditional courtyard, terrace, and an olive grove. Tucked beneath the serene slope of Castelmuzio in the heart of the Sienese countryside, just a short distance from the charming village of Trequanda, this enchanting semi-detached farmhouse offers a rare combination of historical charm, architectural intrigue, and understated elegance. Sheltered by mature trees and open to the sun-drenched southern horizon, the property enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy and calm, with uninterrupted views across the Tuscan landscape. Dating back to the early 1800s, the residence has retained its authentic character through a respectful, minimal restoration that preserved original features such as terracotta floors, wooden doors, and a magnificent travertine staircase. Spanning approximately 370 square metres over three floors and free on three sides, the home is centred around a beautifully preserved internal courtyard—accessed via an original timber gate—that serves as a quiet gathering place and natural extension of the interior living spaces. The main residence welcomes you on the ground level with a series of charming agricultural rooms that once supported rural life. Ascending the staircase, one arrives at the first-floor living area, comprising a spacious drawing room, a characterful kitchen anchored by an imposing antique fireplace, and access to a panoramic south-facing terrace. The terrace, overlooking the courtyard and garden, offers both sun and seclusion, making it the ideal setting for al fresco dining or morning coffee. A study and an intimate sitting room complete this level, balancing function and comfort. The upper floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all suffused with natural light and a tangible sense of history. Adjacent to the main house, a self-contained apartment—thoughtfully integrated and accessed directly from the courtyard—features a mezzanine layout with a double bedroom, study, kitchenette, and bathroom, ideal for guests or private lettings. The grounds, extending to approximately 1,625 square metres, are adorned with aromatic plants, olive and fruit trees, mature wisteria, and flowering lilacs, creating a heady Mediterranean atmosphere. A separate annex (approx. 33 sq m), once used as a traditional oven and still fully functional, also serves as a woodshed, while a secondary building (approx. 37 sq m) offers further utility space. There is also a rainwater collection well, two water tanks, and ample room to install a swimming pool, subject to the usual planning consents. Parking is available both externally and within the secure courtyard. This country house is the perfect choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic country life and enjoy its privacy or share it with friends and family, with the added option of purchasing the entire complex (listings TRQ3109 and TRQ3106).
