7 luxurious apartments in gated community near Siena
Traditional stone and terracotta construction
This high quality residential development is near the historic town of Rigomagno to the east of Siena. 2
neighbouring typically Tuscan farmhouses in a peaceful rural location are being
restored by a developer who combines great sensibility for local building methods and materials, with an awareness of the high levels of comfort and convenience required by today’s buyers. Delivery will be from Spring 2010.
The larger building , mainly of stone on the outside and with attractive brick arches and vaulted ceilings
inside, has been divided into 6 apartments, 3 on the ground floor and
on the 1st floor, all with independent entrances.
The sitting rooms have open stone built fireplaces, and features such as the brick arches and varying levels add further interest. The floors throughout are of traditional hand made terracotta tiles. There is central heating in all rooms, plus heated
towel rails in the bathrooms. Excellent insulation, with air gap roofs ensures that heating costs are kept to a minimum. The plumbing system guarantees instant hot water in the kitchen and bathrooms. Prices of these apartments range from €425,000 to €725,000
according to size and orientation.
The second and smaller building is of stone and has been divided vertically into 2 duplex apartments, each
with 2 double bedrooms and the same level of finishing and comfort as in the large building. One
apartment has been reserved and the other is priced at €695,000.
Grounds and services
In addition to their private gardens, all the apartments have the use of a landscaped and fenced park of
1,5 hectares, which enjoys open and unspoilt views of the surrounding fields
and woodland. A large swimming pool is located at a convenient distance from the buildings. There are 2 car parking spaces for each apartment. A single antenna provides satellite TV and internet connections for all apartments. Mains electricity and
water are connected, and heating is by GPL gas, with a private meter in each dwelling. The condominium contract provides for all pool and ground maintenance including private gardens, and all apartments are wired for electronic alarm systems which are available
as an optional extra. Florence and Siena can be reached in about
1 hour by car, and Perugia airport with Ryanair flights to London is also about 1 hour away.
