Description

Il Cortile Country house with pool and land, Montalcino, Siena - Tuscany

Ancient stone farmhouse with swimming pool, cellar, and land for sale in San Giovanni d'Asso, Montalcino, Siena. The Courtyard farmhouse dates to 1800 and has been restored while maintaining the characteristics of Tuscan rural architecture. It sits elevated and can be reached by crossing a short stretch of road shaded by a forest. The building is articulated and surrounded by a well-kept lawn with oak, pine, and cypress trees. The interior boasts captivating elements such as terracotta arches and vaults, which testify to the lively presence of the terracotta industry in the region, unfinished brick ceilings, and wooden beams. The artisanal terracotta floors bear historical traces of ox blood treatment, evident in the red shades that remain in some areas. The large openings, together with the light colors of the walls, invite the light of the Tuscan sun and illuminate every corner of the home. On the ground floor, the living area is embellished with ancient fireplaces. Going up to the upper level, there are four bedrooms with private bathrooms, underfloor heating, and separate access to a courtyard equipped with a characteristic wood-burning oven, convenient for outdoor dining. The basement houses a fully equipped cellar. In the well-kept garden, a short distance from the house but secluded, there is a beautiful swimming pool with a paved solarium, which overlooks the fascinating landscape of the Crete. Surrounded by the forest, which occupies most of the relevant land, Il Cortile enjoys secure privacy and isolation but is not far from communication routes. Only two kilometers of well-maintained dirt road separate it from restaurants and wine bars: The perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility.
