villa in the Tuscany countryside

Charming estate of about 3 hectares with an old fortified farmhouse in the municipality of Laterina, near Arezzo, bathed by the waters of the Arno River. To reach the property you take a dirt road that runs along the river. The hillside location of the plot offers a 360° view of the lush Tuscan countryside, in the Arezzo-Siena-Florence triangle and in particular a pretty view of the hilltop village of Laterina.

The estate is made up of two separate buildings flanked by a grove, all together about 3 hectares with a crystal clear stream on the property and a small waterfall into a natural pond. It is located near the old church of Santa Maria in Valle, with its famous painting of the Virgin and Child.

The main building was born as a medieval tower and was transformed into a fortified farm around the 18th century. The property includes a second building (a fienile = barn) transformed into a comfortable guest house.

The main house is on three levels. Being built on the hillside, all floors have independent access to the garden. This gives the possibility of dividing the house into 2 or even 3 apartments. Electricity systems are independent for each floor. The house is in excellent condition, well maintained with in some rooms traditional Tuscan terracotta floors and in others wooden floors, in some rooms there are high ceilings with original exposed beams.
The ground floor of approximately 100 square meters is currently a single space used as a storage room.
The first floor of about 200 square meters with direct access from the garden side, consists of a large entrance hall, living room, kitchen, four bedrooms each with private bathroom.
The main floor, with access from the garden through a veranda with bay windows, is composed of approximately 200 m2 with the glazed veranda, a large living room with fireplace, kitchen, dining room, office/TV room, 1 laundry room, kitchen, dining room, a very large master bedroom and next to it a double bathroom.
The main asset of this part of the house is the loggia with a magnificent view. This main floor is connected to the one below by an internal staircase.
The second building, resulting from the renovation of an old barn, is on two levels with two bedrooms with shower bathroom on the ground floor and an open space with kitchen and living room.
