HISTORICAL VILLA WITH PARK AND POOL FOR SALE IN AREZZO, TUSCANY

The main villa (519 m² – 5,584 ft², 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) has three floors and is accessed directly from the garden:

• Ground floor: large entrance hall, large living room with fireplace, private study, cellar/storage room, bathroom and storage room;
• First floor: kitchen with pantry, dining room, living room with fireplace, library, three bedrooms and bathroom;
• Second floor: kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom and storage room.

The earliest information about the property dates back to the 18th century, when it was used as a “hunting lodge” by a family of Aretine landowners. Members of the family included notable people who lived in the nineteenth and early 20th centuries, including a renowned musicologist and an internationally renowned mathematician.

Over the years, the property has undergone structural and architectural changes, but these have preserved its original charm and the peaceful atmosphere it conveys, thanks in part to the beauty of the surrounding area. Among the interiors, the striking library, furnished with wooden furniture, stands out, providing a truly unique atmosphere with the imposing stone fireplace warming the spacious room.

On the ground floor, with independent access from the outside, there are two rooms accessible from the outside on opposite sides of the building: a historic cellar (53 m² – 570 ft²) formerly used for wine production and an orangery (27 m² – 290 ft²).

The 12 × 4.5 m swimming pool, facing south, is located slightly downhill from the villa, immediately below the historic garden. From the solarium of the pool, surrounded by olive trees (about 120 plants), there is a splendid view of the surrounding countryside with the city of Arezzo in the background. Near the pool there is a pool house (17 m² – 183 ft²) with changing room.

The property includes about 7,500 m² (1.8 acres) of land organized as parkland around the villa, where there is a lovely historic garden adorned with century-old holm oaks and a Hortus Conclusus, that is, a medieval-inspired garden enclosed by a wall and with the characteristic water element, which in this case is represented by an underground water tank used for rainwater recovery. With its orderly layout, geometric flower beds and ornamental plants, it is a place of harmony and peace, of intimate reflection.

Thanks to its characteristics, the villa is suitable both as a main residence, being located in the countryside but close to the city of Arezzo, and as a second home for spending vacation periods. In addition, it is ideal for use as a vacation home. Arezzo’s strategic location ensures easy access to major cities and smaller towns in central Italy.

The villa is already arranged to be divided into two units to possibly accommodate two households. One of them could also be used for housing the janitors or maintainers of the property. A portion of the building has recently undergone energy efficiency upgrades (including double glazing on windows, photovoltaic panels and heat pump for heating), achieving the highest efficiency class expected for buildings.
