Lovely large villa for sale boasting lots of original Tuscan features with far-reaching country views and located near to Sansepolcro in Tuscany.
Built-in 1614 by an important local family, developed around an old watchtower dating back to 1000, on a rock foundation, which gives to the structure excellent solidity and has a “U” shape, typical of the aristocratic Tuscan villas, with two wings surrounding the three entrances. The current internal layout has two entrances on each wing of the building but it is possible to unify the property by opening internal doors.
The internal chapel with the Pala dell’Altare dating back to 1600 dedicated to the Madonna di Loreto and the valuable plasters decorating the vaults signify the refinement of the property.
