HOUSE OF LAVENDER

House of Lavender is the perfect combination of both town and country: Just a short walk from Cortona town centre, you can enjoy views, big spaces and fresh air in the luxury of a truly beautiful home and pop up to Cortona any time you wish!!!

Completely restored in 2013, with large, private courtyard and garden and within walking distance of Cortona town centre, the property which stands just below the Church of Santa Maria Nuova is at the southern end of an antique hamlet, and is part of a period farmhouse, south-south west facing with stunning views and fabulous sunsets.

Built on 3 floors, the property has some wonderful features: it is extremely light with spacious rooms, has a panoramic balcony on the first floor, a wine cellar, an annex, a pizza oven and a great chef’s kitchen. 

In a hillside position, it overlooks the vast expanse of the Valdichiana and is set amongst olive groves with a beautiful (and manageable!) garden.  A really special property: easy to lock up and leave,  a walk-able distance into town (800m), but with the added pleasure of living in the countryside. A pool would be permissible.

The property has full compliancy and is immediately ready for sale.  It has its own gated entrance and front courtyard, its own private well and a fenced garden (approx. 1200 sqm) with lavender, rose bushes and mature shrubs which attract an amazing array of bees and butterflies which are a joy to watch.  A pool 9 metres x 4 metres is permissible.

Casa Lavender is undoubtedly a good buy given its vicinity to Cortona, its stunning views and immediate saleability. The neighbours, market gardeners, are an Italian family (mother and son) who produce a wonderful array of seasonal vegetables and olive oil which to date they have shared generously! 

A must to view!!
