Lucignano

In a central but panoramic position in the heart of the medieval town of Lucignano,  townhouse for sale. The building (306 m² – 3,292 ft²) dates back to the 13th century and has been completely renovated in recent years, preserving much of its original features but adding modern comforts. An important characteristic of the property is the excellent brightness of the rooms, which is not always obvious in historic buildings of this type since medieval windows were generally small to prevent heat loss.

On the ground floor, with independent access, there is a small service apartment (very suitable for guests or staff) consisting of a living room, dining room with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and underground cellar. Another entrance opens into a corridor with stairs that lead to the main apartment. At the top of the stairs, on the right, is a large living room with two windows overlooking the town square; on the left, a corridor leads to two bedrooms, one of which with an en-suite bathroom. The living room is characterized by frescoes on the walls and ceilings, original terracotta floor, and fireplace. Going further up the stairs, one reaches the second floor. On the right, is a bedroom with a wardrobe, on the left a large lounge connected to the dining room and a service bathroom. From the kitchen, one exits onto a panoramic loggia ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners.

The layout of the property, structured on multiple floors and already divided into two independent units, makes the property very suitable also as a small hospitality activity for short rentals. In this regard, in 2009, Lucignano was chosen by director Abbas Kiarostami as a setting for the movie Copie Conforme: actress Juliette Binoche, star of the film, stayed at this house between June and July during filming.

On the hills of Valdichiana, in a panoramic position overlooking the medieval town of Lucignano, renovated luxury farmhouse for sale. The property (almost 800 m² in total) has been completely renovated and currently has 4 rooms with great potential for tourist-accommodation development. The buildings are immersed in a park of 7,660 m² with pool and the property also includes a small olive grove. The property is already active as a tourist accommodation with excellent results.

The villa (562 m² – 6,047 ft², 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) is the result of the renovation of an old farmhouse and features spacious and bright rooms with modern finishes that enhance and valorize the classic aspect of the building. The villa is on three levels plus a mezzanine:

• Ground floor: entrance hall with generous porch, large living room, kitchen with pantry, service bathroom, technical room and storage;
• First floor: living room with loggia and terrace overlooking the town of Lucignano, central hallway, private office space, sitting room and three bedrooms with private bathrooms;
• Second floor: panoramic room with 360° view and bathroom in the mezzanine below.

Next to the house is an annex on two levels (167 m² – 1,797 ft²): on the basement floor there is a spacious garage with driveway ramp, while the second floor is structured as an old stone building, in full respect of the property, and is currently used as a shed/workshop with laundry corner. However, the possibility could be considered, after consultation with the relevant authorities, to convert this level into a charming outbuilding with bathroom.

The villa is surrounded by 7,660 m² of garden, fully fenced and enclosed by a gate, on which there is a 14 × 7 m swimming pool, well positioned in the park and surrounded by a paved sunbathing area on all four sides. Just outside the fenced part, on the other hand, is a shed (65 m² – 699 ft²) that serves as a support for the photovoltaic system and as a shelter for some cars.

Behind the carport there is then a portion of arable land (5,630 m²) with 80 olive trees that allow the production of an excellent extra-virgin olive oil for family use.
