Description
in the lush hills surrounding Cortona, near the Loreto River, we offer for sale a charming historical stone villa with a park, woods, and a natural pool. The villa, with a fascinating history dating back to the 1200s and later reconstructed in the 1700s, was originally a watermill. it still retains the traditional architecture of a Tuscan farmhouse, with its stone walls, ancient millstones, and the evocative atmosphere that recalls the past.
The property spans 300 sqm, distributed across three levels. On the basement floor, there are cellars, perfect for wine storage or other uses. The upper floors feature two separate living areas, offering ample space with breathtaking views of the woods and olive groves. The handcrafted terracotta floors have been meticulously restored, while some areas have been replaced with elegant parquet. The high ceilings, with exposed wooden beams, and stone fireplaces add charm and character to every room.
The pool, designed with natural stone, is located in the park, in the same area where the water from the mill once flowed, creating a true oasis of peace where you can relax surrounded by nature. The park offers exploratory trails leading to the Loreto River, where you can enjoy natural waterfalls and natural pools. An olive grove with 50 trees and an orchard complete the property, which also includes a former stable with a paddock, ideal for animals or other needs.
This villa represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a historic property immersed in nature, yet close to Cortona and the main tourist attractions of the region. it is perfect for those who wish to live in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, with all the modern comforts, while enjoying the charm and history of the local rural tradition.
