Mercatale di CortonaTuscany

Five bedroom, six bathroom dream Tuscan house with annex, 12x6m pool, hot tub, traditional pizza oven set within 1.24 acres.

This is the quintessential dream Tuscan holiday home. The house oozes traditional Tuscan character yet has been beautifully restored and offers spacious accommodation. It is close to amenities and has outstanding views.

The approach to this outstanding property for sale in Italy is via a very good gravel road. There is a short private drive and ample parking area with a pergola for parking underneath.

Instantly, one is struck by the enchanting patio area, perfect for alfresco dining, located in front of the house and beyond to the breathtaking views. Both the Reschio and Sorbello castle can be seen from the garden.

The house has a very welcoming and practical ground floor where all the rooms are seamlessly interconnected. There is a lovely sitting room with fireplace and office area. Adjacent to the sitting room is the large kitchen and from here a big pantry which acts also as a secondary kitchen.

A staircase leads you to a guest cloakroom and then upwards to the first of the five double bedrooms. This double bedroom is mid level and has French doors which open out into the garden. The stairs then lead up to the first floor where there is a grand sitting room with ancient stone fireplace. Here too one can access the outside by the original stone staircase. On the floor there is a further bedroom, bathroom and a huge en-suite bedroom.

On the second floor there are a further two, very spacious, en-suite bedrooms.

Outside, just a short distance from the main building, is a small restored stone barn in which there is a bathroom. The mature gardens are beautiful and are accessed from the superb patio area and lead to the hot tub and further below to the beautiful swimming pool with roman steps for entering.

The house has mains water, solar panels for hot water, a combi boiler and a well for the pool and garden.
