Farmhouse Strada Provinciale Umbro Cortonese 31, Cortona

Farmhouse of about 200 sq m with openspace on panoramic hill in Cortona with land.
Description:
The farmhouse is located in an extremely panoramic area on the hills of Cortona. It is developed as a single body on 2 levels for about 200 sqm, and is composed as follows: the ground floor leads to a large openspace living room with large panoramic windows overlooking the valley and a height of over 4 meters. From this area there is access to the terrace and rooms currently used as a bedroom and kitchen. There are many French doors that allow the outdoor space to be experienced easily in the warmer months. Via internal stone staircase there is access to the basement with a room with brick arches, a recently renovated shower room and a first cellar. Through external accesses there are two more rooms used as cellar/laundry and woodshed/technical room. A final cellar connected to the farmhouse leads to the outdoor shed.
Outbuildings:
On the external land there are two outbuildings to be rebuilt that offer good cubic capacity to go to create garage, small outbuilding or other volumes.
Condition and finishes:
The property is in good condition, renovated in the 70s/80s. However, it needs work on finishes and systems, as it has no heating system (at the moment it has wood and pellet stoves). The farmhouse offers many possibilities for renovation on the interior spaces. The exterior is currently plastered, but it can be renovated by bringing back the original exposed stone. The roof was redone in the 1970s but can be revised to insulate it and bring it up to current standards. The high ceilings have exposed wooden beams and terracotta tiles. Floors are plain tile. Water system fed by a working property well.
Outdoor space:
The property has 2200 sqm of resede and an additional 15,600 sqm of land divided between olive grove, forest and chestnut grove. About 200 olive trees are present.
Potential uses:
The farmhouse differs from the classic Tuscan style by having windows and interior spaces out of the ordinary, ideal for creating modern and bright environments. The property is perfect for use as a first or second home being located in a quiet and panoramic area. Given the proximity to the town of Cortona it is also ideal as a tourist rental to be included in the short term rentals.
Location & Lifestyle:
Situated in a dominant position overlooking Cortona and the valley, this historic property enjoys peace and privacy, 10 minutes from the hamlet of Camucia and 13 from the historic center. The road leading to the property is about 2km (paved and unpaved), in some places steep as typical in the area. Other tourist villages in the area such as Passignano sul Trasimeno and Montepulciano are a 30-minute drive away. The A1 highway connection is about 25 minutes away, the Siena-Perugia freeway connection is 15 minutes away, plus the train station with direct connections to Rome and Florence is 10 minutes away.
