ITALY, TUSCANY, SIENA, SAN CASCIANO DEI BAGNI
Property Producing Oil, Honey and Saffron
19th century stone country house in a dominant position near San Casciano dei Bagni, of approximately 700 sqm with annex and swimming pool for sale near San Casciano dei Bagni, within walking distance of a small village.
The romantic position at the foot of Mount Cetona and the 25 hectares (62 acres) of land make it a property that cannot go unnoticed.
The land comprises arable land, olive grove (with 700 trees) in organic production and wooded area.
Refurbished in 2013, the property is currently used as a farmhouse as well as a farm for the production of oil and saffron.
Saffron and honey are also produced. There are 50 beehives.
Here, in 1856, Nobel Prize winner Giosuè Carducci, then aged 18, experienced some light-hearted moments while visiting his friend who owned the farm at the time.
The house skilfully combines modern comforts with traditional Tuscan rustic style throughout including grand fireplaces, stone-clad columns, and terracotta and parquet flooring. It accommodates a main living room with central fireplace and double-glazed French doors, a fully fitted kitchen opening into the outdoor dining area under the pergola, five bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, and a reading room/study.
Additionally, the annex has been converted into a guest cottage with living room with fireplace, a bedroom and bathroom.
In the garden the pool enjoys breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside that make this property ideally suited as a holiday let or as a private retreat to live with family and friends.
