Description

Characteristic Tuscan country house deeped in the silence and magical atmosphere of the Val d'Orcia, for sale with stunning views of Pienza. Set in a commanding position on a gentle hilltop in the UNESCO-protected Val d’Orcia, this elegant 19th-century residence offers an extraordinary blend of historic charm, natural beauty and lifestyle potential. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and manicured grounds, the property enjoys absolute privacy and breathtaking views over one of Tuscany’s most iconic landscapes—just moments from the celebrated Renaissance town of Pienza. With an internal surface area of 470 sq m (5,059 sq ft), the residence is arranged across two levels. On the ground floor, beneath an 80 sq m (861 sq ft) portico, you enter into an expansive living space that reflects the building’s authentic character—terracotta flooring, timber beams and a classic Tuscan fireplace all contribute to the warm, understated elegance. The layout flows into a formal dining area and a generously sized, masonry-style kitchen with adjoining pantry, designed for both family life and entertaining. A billiard room adds an atmospheric social space, while practical features include a wine cellar, technical rooms, a wood store, and a charming, fully functioning wood-fired oven. One wing of the ground floor hosts a 40 sqm (430 sq ft) self-contained studio with separate access, ideal for guests, caretakers, or short-term lets. Upstairs, accessible via both an internal staircase and a beautiful external loggia with original terracotta steps, you’ll find an additional living room, six comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms, each filled with natural light and tranquil views of the surrounding hills and farmland. The estate extends over 4.5 hectares (11 acres), including 3 hectares of olive groves with 600 trees, 0.7 hectares of vineyard (70% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot), and further sections laid out as fruit orchard, vegetable garden and ornamental park. A private water spring supports irrigation, and a range of agricultural equipment—including a tractor—is included in the sale. Subject to planning approval, a swimming pool may be added to enhance leisure use. Naturally positioned on the highest point of the hill, always facing the light, this distinctive property offers excellent potential as a refined private residence, boutique hospitality venture, or lifestyle investment in the heart of Tuscany.
