Villa 4 sovrum, 327 m²

Cetona, Siena (provins)

Stone farmhouse in need of renovation, with an olive grove, woodland and private garden, just a short walk from the centre of Cetona REF. CET324 In the heart of the Sienese Val di Chiana, along the provincial road leading to the medieval village of Cetona — one of the best-preserved and most charming towns in southern Tuscany — lies Casale Ombra del Cipresso, a characterful rural property awaiting restoration to its former glory. Built in stone and terracotta in the early 20th century, the farmhouse is spread over three levels with a total floor area of approximately 327 square metres, plus two cellars in the basement, a spacious terrace on the first floor, a veranda and an internal courtyard on the ground floor. The building’s square outline is softened by a loggia crowning the terracotta staircase leading to the upper floor, lending the structure the grace typical of Tuscan rural architecture. The interior, which requires a complete restoration, retains all the original features that make these farmhouses so sought-after: exposed beam and brick ceilings, antique terracotta floors and period fireplaces. The rooms, divided in the style of the period into two separate units on the ground floor, could easily be converted into a single residence or reorganised to suit the future owner’s needs. The current layout comprises two cellars in the basement; on the ground floor, two independent flats — the first with a kitchen-diner, living room, bedroom and bathroom, the second with a basement room, bedroom, bathroom, storage room and hallway — as well as a garage, storeroom, courtyard with dual access and a utility room; on the first floor, three bedrooms, a study, living room, bathroom, hallway and an 18 m² terrace; on the second floor, an attic divided into four rooms, partially habitable. Completing the property is a lush private garden shaded by tall cypresses and majestic pines, ensuring total privacy despite its proximity to the town centre. The land, covering approximately 2 hectares, includes woodland and an olive grove with 70 olive trees in production, as well as a private well that supplements the municipal water supply. Just 50 metres from a tarmac road and approximately 1 km from the amenities of Cetona town centre, Casale Ombra del Cipresso represents a tangible opportunity for those wishing to create a prestigious private residence or a holiday home immersed in the outstanding landscapes, historical and artistic heritage, and food and wine of southern Tuscany.
