Description
This historic mansion was partly built before 1600 around a watchtower, only to be enlarged later during the 17th and 18th centuries, by an ancient noble family of Sansepolcro. It still retains the characteristic features of the period, in addition to the tower there is a consecrated chapel where religious rites could be celebrated, as well as halls with vaulted ceilings, frescoed walls and original brick floors of the time. In the 1990s, numerous conservative renovations were carried out, as well as the construction of a beautiful panoramic swimming pool of 10x5 square meters, built within the secular park of about 3500 square meters. Currently, the villa can be divided into two completely independent apartments, even in terms of facilities, one on the right side and the other on the left side, or can be used as a single residence, being perfectly connected inside. On the ground floor we find a large entrance hall, from which both portions can be accessed. The apartment on the left has a hall for entrance and receiving room, a living room with a large stone fireplace, a kitchen, a dining room, a sitting room, a pantry, and a bathroom, on the ground floor; upstairs we find the sleeping quarters, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a sitting room with a fireplace. The right apartment has on the ground floor two rooms currently used as cellars, and the chapel; going upstairs we find the frescoed part of the building, with a large living room with fireplace, from which we can find three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, in an independent building, a garage has been built, which can accommodate up to two cars. Six and a half hectares of arable land, and nine hectares of woodland complete the property. The park is laid out as an Italian garden, with 100-year-old trees, cypresses, elms, Lebanon cedars, firs, horse chestnuts, holm oaks, and lindens. The lawn is equipped with an automatic irrigation system. A well has been built, which is used mainly for irrigation of the garden and grounds. The villa with its park, is completely fenced, and has a driveway and a couple of pedestrian accesses. This property can also be used for tourism purposes, as a bed and breakfast or be rented entirely for events.
