Description:

ITALY, TUSCANY, AREZZO, CORTONA

This unique villa just outside Cortona is in a fabulous location in the centre of a stunning terraced plot of olive trees and Sangiovese vines, with an unrivalled 180 degree view.

Covering over 300 sqm, it is a large, bright, airy villa, with a contemporary modern interior twist. Complementing and sitting naturally alongside the history that surrounds it. A stone's throw from Porta Colonia and Cortona, it takes 3 minutes walk along Cortona's Etruscan walls to reach the town. Build in the 1970s, it has recently been extensively renovated.

State of the art German underfloor heating throughout, a completely new roof, raised with extra full size windows, external terracotta roof tiles, copper gutters and internally white washed wooden beams. Brand new large wrought iron coloured aluminium windows and shutters mean no annual maintenance, complete functionality, security and the pleasure of watching ever changing seasons through these tall 'live paintings'.

Adding beauty and that authentic cosy winter warmth feel, there are 2 wood burning fires in the main lounge and the mansard suite. Together with complete whole house insulation these careful considerations mean it's a super economical, low maintenance house to run and manage.

5 bedrooms. 5 Bathrooms (3 ensuite). Large living room (12m x 5m) , open plan kitchen and dining room. Beautifully converted attic with a living area, a travertino bathroom with stand alone bath, separate double shower, 2 skylights to watch the stars. 1 front balcony, 1 back terrace, separate laundry room, a technical storage room and a garage.

Planning permission has been approved for an 8m x 4m infinity pool running along the widest terrace where you don't loose a minute of sunshine.

The villa benefits from newly laid stone walls, giant slab steps of 'pietra serena' which lead to the main entrance and strong stone columns that give the walk/drive through the automatic wrought iron gates an impressive entrance.

The most lasting impression of this truly unique property has to be its position:.the proximity to beautiful Cortona town centre with its many shops, restaurants, services and cultural activities and the simply stunning Tuscan views.
