THE HOUSE WITH VIEW

A beautiful farmhouse located in the village of Tecognano, just a short distance from  Cortona, has easy access to local amenities within 5 minutes and just a few minutes more, 10 minutes, you can be in Cortona where you can dip into the gourmet restaurants, bars and cultural events that are offered by this inspirational town or even venture further by taking the train from Camucia to cities such as Arezzo, Florence and Rome.

KEY FEATURES:

• Location, location, location
• Stone construction
• Ample garden and olive grove
• Possibility to add pool
• Annexe
• Large spacious rooms
• Outside patio and pergola

The property is divided into three houses that are traditionally finished and have a touch of ‘Giotto’ style. The rooms have wooden beams and the floor is the traditional terracotta tiles.

1) The main house is comprised on three floors with:

• a living/bedroom area and a relaxing zone large room with space for sauna on the ground floor;
• connection from the ground floor via an internal staircase to the first floor, leads into the large, beautiful kitchen, with double height ceiling and wood stove in the fireplace, that makes this area the heart of the property in both winter and summer as the doors lead out to the garden and lounging areas and give magnificent views. Plus there is a bedroom located on this floor and a bathroom on the mezanine.
• continuing up we arrive to the second floor where there is a studio and the main bedroom with private bathroom.

The further two houses of this property offer guests privacy and personal space to relax and recharge whilst on vacation without being strangers from their hosts.

2) The detached small house is a large studio room with bathroom.

3) The ‘chapel’ is the third building with

• a kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor;
• a bedroom with double entrance on the first floor which gives access from inside and outside from the terrace.

Outside, in the garden, it lends itself to being a fantastic location for social summer evenings, BBQ’s and parties but also it can be an area of serenity and silence allowing one to detach from the hustle and bustle of city life, catch up on those books or just relax with the magnificent views and a glass of wine!

It really is a place of ‘total harmony, authenticity, beauty and inspiration’ quote by current owners.

The property also has approximately 5ha of land and olive groves, so making your own oil is very do-able!

The local airport of Perugia can be reached within 45 minutes making it an ideal countryside property with all the benefits of easy travel. 

Currently, there is a small pool (to be re-done) but there is the possibility of adding a larger, modern pool if so desired.
