Rustic Country House in Scenic Cortona, Tuscany

Details

The exposed wooden beams, rough stone walls, and terracotta flooring immediately set the tone for this rustic farmhouse of 480 square meters: a property that maintains an authentic relationship with the materials and atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside. Natural light generously enters through the arrangement of the windows, enhancing spaces where arched niches, stone walls, and wooden details create a sense of solidity and continuity. The living areas also tell the story of a home lived in with restraint, where every element seems to converse with the original structure without disrupting its character. The 12 rooms and 4 bathrooms distribute the property in a spacious and articulated manner, suggesting a comfortable and well-organized daily life, as well as a home capable of welcoming family and guests with ease. Inside, terracotta surfaces and ceiling beams recur as a common thread, while the exposed stone walls reinforce the farmhouse's identity. Some rooms are defined by arched openings that separate functions without closing them off, maintaining a sense of fluidity between spaces. Outside, the property opens onto a private garden of 10,000 square meters that surrounds the house and amplifies its breadth. The dirt driveway leads to the entrance, the stone wall delineates the estate, and the tiled porch introduces a space to be enjoyed in milder seasons. The stone façade with red shutters and wooden frames integrates coherently into the setting, while the cypresses along the perimeter contribute to privacy. Completing the property are a private pool, an olive grove, and parking spaces, elements that enhance the home's vocation for a full and tangible outdoor life. Days here flow between tactile interiors and outdoor spaces that invite one to spend as much time outside as possible, between the garden, the porch, and the pool. The presence of the olive grove adds an even more direct connection to the rural landscape, while the privacy ensured by the greenery and the property's layout makes it easy to alternate between convivial moments and more intimate times. For this reason, the farmhouse is well-suited both as a distinctive private residence and as a place capable of hosting guests in a setting that speaks immediately of Tuscany and a countryside lived with authenticity. This property in Cortona combines significant dimensions, generous outdoor spaces, and a readable architectural identity made of stone, terracotta, and wood. In a context like that of the province of Arezzo, it represents a solution of strong personality for those seeking a farmhouse with a pool, garden, and olive grove, where the relationship with the territory remains an integral part of the home.
