Property in Tuscany, between the Val d’Orcia hills, including a 290 sq.m farmhouse with living areas on the ground floor and 4 bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor, and a 47 sq.m outbuilding that can be used as a garage. 1-hectare plot of land with a garden and a small olive grove.

Geographic position
Casale Val d’Orcia is a typical farmhouse, including a large garden with olive trees blending with the beautiful surrounding landscape.
This property is in a quiet but not isolated area. It can be accessed from the white road (in excellent condition), which from the paved road leads to the farmhouse after just 500 metres, continuing through the hills as far as the eye can see.
In about 10 minutes, you can reach Campiglia d'Orcia (6 km) and Bagni San Filippo (8 km) and in 15-20 minutes, you can be in Castiglione d'Orcia (13 km), San Quirico d'Orcia (14 km) and Pienza (20 km).
Siena (60 km) can be reached in about one hour. Perugia (80 km) and Grosseto (85 km) in one hour and 20 minutes, respectively.
Moreover, Orbetello, a wonderful town in the Argentario area, is 105 km away and can be reached in one hour and a half.
The airport of Perugia is the nearest one (96 km away, meaning one hour and a half by car). All major airports in Central Italy – Florence (158 km), Pisa (176 km), Roma Ciampino (196 km) and Roma Fiumicino (212 km) – are two hours away.
Description of buildings
This property includes a 290 sq.m farmhouse and a 47 sq.m outbuilding, which can be used as a garage, for a total gross area of 339 sq.m plus a 9 sq.m portico on the farmhouse’s first floor.
The farmhouse
The farmhouse develops over two floors. All rooms on the ground floor have access to the garden and are connected by large arches. Here we have the living room with a large fireplace, the dining room, the kitchen, and a sitting room with a staircase leading to the first floor.
The ground floor also includes a utility bathroom and a storage room.
The first floor includes four bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom and another one, currently used as a study, has a fireplace and independent access to the portico.
A wood-burning oven is in front of the farmhouse.
The outbuilding
A 47 sq.m outbuilding near the entrance gate can be used as a garage.
State and finishing
Casale Val d’Orcia has been renovated and is in excellent condition.
It has maintained the typical characteristics of Tuscan farmhouses: stone walls, tiled roofs, handmade terracotta flooring, and ceilings with beams and tiles.
The living room on the ground floor includes a large fireplace, whereas the wood-burning oven is outside the building. There was a time when all farmhouses had one to bake bread and pizza.
External areas
A 1-ha plot of land surrounding the farmhouse can be transformed into a garden with fruit trees and an olive grove.
Three cypress trees outline the driveway in perfect Tuscan style.
Building a swimming pool is an option but you need to obtain the required authorisations first.
Use and potential uses
This property is ideal for those who would love to live in the heart of Val d’Orcia. It is located in a quiet yet convenient position near beautiful towns, such as Pienza, Bagni San Filippo and Bagno Vignone. Florence and Rome are just one and two hours away, respectively.
All these reasons make this property perfect for the international weekly rental circuit when not in use.
