With Brunello di Montalcino vineyard Seventeenth-century stone country house upgraded with air conditioning and pool for sale in Montalcino, Siena. A picturesque white gravel road crosses the crests of one the world's most spectacular countryside: we are among the hills of the Val D'Orcia Natural Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, just minutes from the medieval city of Montalcino. An avenue bordered by cypresses and vineyards leads to the hill top in an enchanting position, at 260 meters above sea level, with a 360-degree view all the way to Mount Amiata: this is the ultimate wine-lover's paradise privileged by 2,4 acres (1 hectare) of vineyard planted with Sangiovese Grosso vines and an annual production of some 5,000 bottles of one of the finest Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wine ranked 98/100 by James Suckling. The Casale is a splendid stone building dating back to the 1700s, on two levels plus attic, finely restored and upgraded into a charming country house in perfect rustic Tuscan-style conserving its original brick arches, stone walls, and exposed wood-beamed ceilings, combined with handmade terracotta floors, wooden fixtures, and hand-forged iron elements in both the staircase and for the large arched French doors on the ground floor. The country house includes a total of five self-contained apartments and two additional ones are located in the cottage, all different in type and features, with either one or two bedrooms, and equipped with air conditioning. The Mediterranean-style garden houses an irregularly shaped swimming pool featuring infinity edges and Roman-style steps, various gazebo areas with lounges and covered pergolas for outdoor cooking and al fresco dining boasting truly spectacular views. The property includes a pond and an interesting 120-meter-deep water spring of thermal origin rich in essential minerals providing full water supply.
