Somewhat out of our normal area of operation, we have taken Terra Bianca into our portfolio as we believe it is a wonderful opportunity for someone to create a stunning family home in the middle of ‘Gladiator’ country.

It is an unspoilt Tuscan farmhouse in need of complete restoration. The current owner has done nothing to it for 50 years, except to repair part of the roof to stop it falling in.

In addition to the house, there is a single storey stone barn, currently home to a large white pig, and a brick building that would be ideal as a garage.

The house offers some 400 square metres of potential accommodation, plus some great external areas that could become walled courtyards, dining terraces, etc. There is a wealth of architectural features in the property that could be incorporated into the eventual restoration.

The property comes with 25 hectares of land, which includes a mature olive grove, woodland and pastures. Access from the main tarmac road is via 2 kms. of white road passing the current owners farmyard, and then on to the property. It would be possible to gate the access for complete privacy. There are wonderful views from the house.

Mains electricity is connected, and there is an artesian well on the property.

The small hilltown of Montefollonico is about 7 kms away, and the larger town of Pienza is 9 kms. distance. The main A1 autostrada is less than 30 minutes, which gives superb access north and south.

PRICE: Euro 575,000
