Tuscany property 16th-Century Villa with Park, Pool, and Tennis Court Near Cortona

This historic 16th-century villa is for sale in a sunny location just outside Cortona, Tuscany, and near Lake Trasimeno. The property spans over 2,400 square metres and includes multiple buildings with high-end finishes. It sits on a fully fenced 45,000 sqm park with a swimming pool and tennis court. Additionally, 10.6 hectares of agricultural land, including olive groves and woodland, complete the estate.

The villa is less than a kilometre from local amenities, and the medieval town centre of Cortona is just a five-minute drive away. It is also conveniently located for visiting major Tuscan cities such as Montepulciano, Arezzo, Pienza, Florence, and Siena, all reachable in under 90 minutes.

The main villa (1,280 sqm) features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across four levels. Interior highlights include frescoed rooms, marble fireplaces, and decorative trompe-l’œil paintings.
The layout consists of:

Ground floor: Living room, dining room, kitchen, sitting room, private office, chapel, laundry, two bathrooms, and cellars.
First floor: Reception hall, living room, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms.
Second floor: Library, reading room, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms.
Third floor: Attic space, suitable for storage.

Additional buildings include:

Reception halls (370 sqm): A series of rooms leading to the nymphaeum fountain, used for events.
Converted stables (314 sqm): Now a two-level space with cellars, a large living room with a marble fireplace, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Orangery (317 sqm, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom): A large structure with a reception area, wine cellar, and an apartment. There is a plan to reconfigure it into a larger residence with a lofted living room, kitchen, and four en-suite bedrooms.
Garage (170 sqm): A separate building for vehicle and garden equipment storage.

The fenced park retains its historic design and includes paved walkways, olive and fruit trees, and a now-unused holm oak grove. A newer entrance leads to the orangery, while the original driveway remains intact. The swimming pool (18 × 9 m) has a natural stone border and is accompanied by changing rooms and bathrooms. The tennis court is made of clay.

Outside the villa’s walls, the additional 10.6 hectares of agricultural land include 1.6 hectares of olive groves and 9 hectares of woodland, mostly on a steep slope.
