Located in the countryside of Pienza, the "ideal city" of the Renaissance conceived by Pius II and Leon Battista Alberti, the country house is immersed in the landscape of which it is an integral part and from which it benefits from the breathtaking views, changing throughout the day and the seasons, and from the privileged view of Mount Amiata. The rural origins are evident in the external walls in local stone and brick and the two-level structure; the rest of the building has been renovated to meet the needs of contemporary living, with attention to energy efficiency, using natural materials, in coherence with the context. The lot, which insists on 1.5 hectares of land, is divided into two buildings: the first is a 422 sq m villa in energy class A, with a large living room with an open kitchen, an unusual and elegant stage equipped for concerts, and a bathroom on the ground floor; and an apartment with living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The living area continues outside in the comfortable gazebo equipped for outdoor breakfasts and lunches. An elegant internal staircase - and an external one, whose landing also serves as a loggia - leads to the first floor, where a hallway divides the five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a closet, and a laundry room. The second building, measuring 81 square meters, has two independent mini apartments, each with a kitchenette, a bedroom overlooking the garden, and bathrooms. A silo and a small warehouse complete the property. It is creatively furnished with extreme taste and attention to detail, in harmony with the ceilings with exposed metal structures, the terracotta vaults, the wooden beams and tiles, and the parquet and terracotta floors. The house is equipped with a technical room separate from the main body. A heat pump activates the air conditioning or heating, and the double glazing and solar panel system help reduce utility costs. The surrounding land hosts, in addition to the large parking lot, a garden full of lavender and roses and a green lawn, irrigated thanks to the courtyard well; the rest has been left to the interpretation of future buyers, who have the possibility of also creating a bio-lake (with a project already approved) or a bio-pool. Thanks to the intelligent organization of the spaces, the farmhouse can be used as a private home and at the same time as a farm or extra-hotel activity in one of the most beautiful and exclusive places in Italy, chosen by all over the world visitors for its landscapes, history, architecture, and thermal, food and wine itineraries.
