The current owners bought this house after only one viewing enchanted by the views and the garden! It was bought maybe as a holiday home or for letting but the owners found living there so attractive and leaving so hard they decided to live there full time.
This is a unique property offering the best of the stunning Tuscan Views with a location providing easy access to the coast (30 minutes gently driving along uncongested roads) sensational Florence (50 minutes) Pisa International airport (50 minutes) and then the rest of the Tuscan countryside. It is still only 10 minutes from the thriving Etruscan town of Volterra which provides all local amenities and day to day requirements and only 25 minutes from the towns of San Gimiagno and 45 minutes from Sienna. The larger towns of Poggibonsi and Colle val d’elsa are just 30 minutes away.
With easy access from the main highway this 200 year old Farmhouse has been the family home of the current owners for five years during which time it has been transformed into a highly desirable property boasting many unique features which combine the best of traditional Tuscan style with discrete modern amenities.
