Charming Tuscan Getaway with Sweeping Countryside Views

Nestled on the crest of a gentle hill in the heart of the Crete Senesi, this exceptional portion of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and natural beauty. Approached via a scenic road lined with stately cypresses, the property captures the essence of Tuscany’s most iconic landscapes, with sweeping views that evoke the region’s most famous postcards. Constructed entirely from ancient brick and thoughtfully restored to preserve its original character, this home seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The property features historical elements that speak to the timeless elegance of Tuscan architecture like the terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, old arched entrances and the original external staircase that once was the only access to the upper floor. The interior unfolds over two spacious levels, filled with natural light and designed to embrace the surrounding scenery. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall opens into a double living room, centered around an impressive fireplace crafted from local stone. The expansive kitchen, with Carrara marble countertops and a beautiful “pietra serena” stone fireplace, is bathed in light from large windows that frame the picturesque countryside. Two storage rooms and a bathroom complete this level. Upstairs, the master bedroom with a convenient mezzanine and an ensuite bathroom with steam bath, provides a serene and inviting retreat, while two additional bedrooms and another bathroom, offer comfort and privacy for guests. A storage room, a living room and a study area complete the floor. High ceilings and generous windows throughout create a bright, airy atmosphere, with sunlight streaming into every room. The private garden surrounds the house on three sides, forming a tranquil oasis with two lovely pergolas, one adorned with a flowering climbing plant. From the garden, there are breathtaking views of the rolling hills of the Crete Senesi and the distinctive “calanchi” formations. In the distance, the lights of Siena glitter against the night sky, creating a romantic scene reminiscent of a classic Tuscan postcard. In excellent condition, this farmhouse portion requires only minimal stylistic customization to make it uniquely yours. The property includes two covered parking spaces, a practical shed, and additional uncovered parking for guests.
