Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, just minutes from the enchanting hilltop town of Cortona, this prestigious estate offers a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Italian heritage.Set within 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of unspoiled countryside, the refined four-level stone villa rises elegantly above a formal Italian garden and two outbuildings with exceptional potential for conversion—an ideal canvas for a bespoke restoration project that blends timeless charm with modern vision. Spanning 365 square metres (3,928 square feet), the main villa retains exquisite original features, including a distinctive dovecote tower, exposed stone facades, and delicate trompe-l'œil frescoes adorning the upper floors. The interiors are full of character, boasting spacious reception rooms, six bedrooms, a study, and sweeping panoramic views—ideal for a sophisticated private residence or a luxury hospitality venture. A romantic second-floor terrace offers breathtaking vistas over the surrounding countryside, while a 20-square-metre (215-square-foot) lemon house on the ground floor adds an inviting space for relaxation. From the garden, one accesses a 158-square-metre (1,700-square-foot) outbuilding awaiting restoration—perfect for a charming guest house, family annex, or short-term rental unit. An additional 139-square-metre (1,496-square-foot) building offers further potential for creating additional accommodations, a wellness center, artists' studios, or a private spa. Authentic details such as the old wood-fired oven, vaulted cellars, and handcrafted masonry endow the property with a soul steeped in history.All conveniences are close at hand: a local café is just 600 metres away (0.3 miles), Camucia—with shops and a train station—is 2.2 km (1.3 miles) distant, and the historic center of Cortona lies only 6 km (3.7 miles) from the estate. Florence and Perugia airports are easily reached in about an hour. A truly exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking an elegant residence, a distinguished family estate, or an exclusive real estate project in one of Tuscany’s most captivating settings.PROPERTY Ref: COR3237Location: Cortona, Province: Arezzo, Region: TuscanyType: on a 15000 sq m/2.7 acres plot, 365 sq m/3928 sq ft four-story villa with stone facades a classic dovecote, paired with a 139 sq m/1496 sq ft rustic barn to be converted, and a 158 sq m/1700 sq ft cottage partly restored with 1 bedroom guest flat on 2 levelsYear of construction: 1800Garden: 1.5 hectares/3.7 acresTerrace/Balcony: 10 sqm/107 sq ft on the villa’s second floorTerrace/Balcony: 10 sqm/107 sq ft on the villa’s second floorUtilities: Fixed telephone network: active; Internet: active; Heating: LPG; Water: 1 well for irrigation + 1 well for domestic use + 2 historical wells currently not in use.
