Villa for sale in Cortona, Cortona, Toscana

Description

Villa de' Cavalieri with pool, Cortona - Tuscany
Ancient hunting lodge with turret newly converted into a charming four-bedrooms villa with pool, in hamlet with security, for sale overlooking Cortona. In an ancient hamlet dating from the late 1700s, overlooking the town of Cortona and the rural Val di Chiana landscape, in Tuscany, an old hunting lodge, once owned by the Knights of St Stephen, has been meticulously restored and transformed into an elegant Tuscan country villa with garden and swimming pool. Perfect and ready to live in with original elements and traditional features combined with the most up-to-date technological standards to ensure the best comfort in all seasons, including air conditioning in all rooms, thermal double-glazed wooden doors and windows fitted with mosquito nets. The ground-floor entrance porch leads to classic country-style interiors with exposed wood-beamed ceilings, arched doorways, handmade terracotta floors, pietra serena stones in steps, window frames and fireplaces. The fully-equipped kitchen features modern, simple lines with brand new appliances, a central island and an arch over the dining area. One of the two ground-floor bedrooms is furnished as a study and reading room. The watchtower, with its typical arched “before” windows, houses a 360-degree views suite. The garden surrounds the villa on four sides and is equipped with a 45-square-meter (484 sq ft) gazebo for al fresco dining overlooking the pool. Borgo de' Cavalieri is set on fully fenced 20,000 square meters plot (5 acres), includes a residential area of six villas with a common park, a guest parking lot, main gated entrance and driveway, plus a small sports court with tennis, under completion. A security and maintenance service is already in operation, which, upon request, can be extended to individual buildings and gardens in addition to assistance with property management and tourist rentals. The access road to Borgo de' Cavalieri is a typical gravel road crossing the Tuscan countryside, roughly 300 meters (328 yards) long.
