Le Case nel Verde

Stone country house and adjoining cottage of roughly 470 sqm in total with garden, for sale in Val d'Orcia, Pienza, Tuscany. The renovation, done in 1990, retained the farmhouse's original wine-cellar accessible from the kitchen and outdoors, and pre-Renaissance column flanking exterior stairs to a centuries-old dovecote, now a bedroom. In the renovation, multiple windows and double glass doors were added to supply a light-filled ambience and vistas of sunsets of Pienza and spectacular views of Radicofani, Mount Amiata, and Castiglione. The cottage is comprised of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a modern kitchen, living/dining room with a fireplace, and patio. Two bedrooms open up onto a 60 sqm brick courtyard with a built-in pizza oven, laundry and storage rooms. The courtyard adjoins the ground floor of the larger house, framed by a two-story pergola, leading through glass arched doors into a spacious dining area with fireplace, professionally equipped kitchen, bathroom, and stairs to the partially subterranean wine cellar. The house's first floor consists of 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a living room with fireplace, storage space, and a study/cinema room, from which stairs lead to the second floor bedroom. At the rear of the property is a three-car garage. The one hectare of land includes 225 olive trees, ancient oaks, a mature garden of perennials and fruit trees watered by automatic sprinklers. The location of the farmhouse provides total privacy, marvelous panoramas of the countryside, and at the same time, proximity to the Val d’Orcia's charming villages.
