Unique Tuscan property – Architect designed villa with pool and land
A contemporary home with stunning panoramic views. This spectacular house is set in a wonderful part of Tuscany, with amazing views over the countryside to the mountains. It is a unique home, full of contemporary innovation and style, blending together traditional and new materials.
The Etruscan town of Volterra is about 14 km away, convenient for all the necessary services and towns and cities such as San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Bolgheri, Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano can be reached in about an hour and a half or less.
The building was built over the ruins of a nineteenth-century farmhouse and the works were supervised by a well-known Italian architect. To the central body, which recalls the style of rural houses with walls covered in stone and wooden beams inside, there are two turrets with modern and angular profiles and characterized by large windows that guarantee a splendid view of the garden and the surrounding countryside. ‘building.
The result is a fascinating building, with a perfect mix of ancient and modern that generates continuity between the nature of the original building and the new architectural needs of the 21st century, made up of comfort, minimalism and attention to detail. Likewise, the house is equipped with a home automation system for controlling household appliances and systems.
Also in the interiors, the utmost care has been paid to the design of furniture and furnishings that were created specifically by the architect for a perfect integration with the building: for this reason, all the furnishings and pieces in the house are included in the sale, as they are an integral and fundamental part of the building.
The villa has a surface area of 255 sqm on two floors laid out as follows
The main part of the villa is reminiscent of a Tuscan country house and arranged entirely on one floor with various accesses from the outside, and is completed by two “turrets” connected to the central body by glazed corridors.
Half of the central body is entirely occupied by a spacious living area where there is the living room, a beautiful open kitchen with dining / breakfast area and an external canopy (21 sqm). From here you then pass into the first turret, which houses a bright dining room on the ground floor with a window overlooking the garden, while going up to the first floor there is a study with bathroom (potentially a fifth bedroom if necessary).
On the other side, the living area instead leads to a central hallway that gives access to the sleeping area. Here you will find two large bedrooms with private bathrooms and a laundry room. Also from the hallway there is access to a small glazed corridor that leads to the second tower, where there is a living room on the lower floor and a bedroom on the upper floor served by a bathroom that is immediately before the glazed corridor. This turret, in particular, could easily be used as a guest wing thanks to its independent access.
A short distance from the house, in a secluded position near the parking area is a technical room (80 sqm) which houses the swimming pool systems and a warehouse.
A little further away, near the olive grove isan agricultural warehouse (135 sqm) which is used as a shelter for the vehicles and equipment used to care for the gardens and olive trees.
The villa is surrounded by a well-kept garden of about 8,300 square metres (over half of which are fenced with automatic gate), which include green areas with ornamental plants and flowers, paved paths and gravel squares that can be used as parking (580 square metres). A few metres from the house is the 13 × 7 m swimming pool, covered in stone and surrounded by a solarium (also in stone).
Moving away from the villa, the property consists largely of arable land (4.9 ha) with small portions of wood (1.0 ha) surrounding it. Two olive groves (for a total of 2.0 ha) allow the production of a small quantity of oil for private use.
