Classic 4 bedroom house for sale in Tuscany, close to Cortona, 6 hectares with POOL, OLIVE GROVE, woodland and great views.

Classic Tuscan farmhouse close to Cortona. Located in the beautiful and very peaceful valley of Tecognano, in the Cortonese countryside, but less than 10 mins drive from the lively hilltown of Cortona, this quaint and atmospheric farmhouse has been lovingly restored and tastefully furnished. The property is cradled in 6 hectares of its own olive groves and woodland, making it an ideal retreat for tired city dwellers, country lovers and Italophiles. The large swimming pool (12 x 6 meters) sits on a panoramic terrace above and behind the house, while meals can be served under the shady, vine-clad pergola on the wide terrace in front of the house. The large kitchen is properly equipped for discerning cooks and the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms give ample accommodation. The old farmhouse retains a great many of the original features that people look for; old chestnut beams and terracotta tiles, ancient fire hearth, stone lintels and many others. Beautiful views over the valley, and plentiful shaded areas around the house, make this a small slice of paradise. A must see for anyone seeking an authentic Tuscan home close to Cortona.

Cortona is a magnificent place to live and enjoy the Italian lifestyle. Surrounded by 3,000 year old Etruscan walls, much of the history of the town is maintained through the varied architecture. With beautiful views over the Val di Chiana and towards Lake Trasimeno, Cortona is a very attractive, quintessential Italian town full of beautiful architecture, wonderful bars and restaurants. It is a busy hub for cultural and local festivals. Worth visiting are the Church of the Madonna del Calcinaio painted by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, (1485-1513), the Palazzo Comunale and Palazzo Casali which house the Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca, and the Museo Diocesano with works by Signorelli, Beato Angelico, Sassetta, Lorenzetti.
