Monks’ house

Nestled within the green hills of Cortona, this exposed-stone country house is for sale (floor area of 184 sq.m. and 50 sq.m. of outbuildings). It is located on a smooth hill from where one can easily walk to Franciscan Hermitage “Le Celle” and to the old town of Cortona. 

It is right here, in this peaceful area, that we find this beautiful villa for sale, a traditional masonry house with exposed-stone facing, in line with the most classic Tuscan style.

It underwent renovation works and was turned into a comfortable dwelling house showing a perfect combination between its typical rustic style, represented by its original features that have been perfectly preserved, and its interiors where the shades of white and the natural warmth of wooden floors stand out. The cosy and refined ambiance perfectly harmonise with the surrounding luxuriant nature. 

With a land having a total area of 1.5 hectares, the property consists of a manor house, spread over two floors with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living area, and a guest house that might offer another bedroom and another bathroom.

It is also possible to build a panoramic swimming pool amid olive groves.

The huge 1-hectare plot of land surrounding the property features the most luxuriant greenery of Tuscan countryside, with olive groves and orchards.

A real oasis of peace and nature but close to the historic centre of Cortona. 
A lovely 45 minutes walk along 3.2 km in total.
A nice 7 minutes drive along 3.1 km in total.

It is perfect as a second home far from the city, but also as an investment opportunity to be used as tourist accommodation facility.
