Casale Serentità exemplifies the charm of a quintessential Tuscan farmhouse. This beautifully restored traditional stone home seamlessly combines original features with contemporary décor, creating welcoming, light and bright spaces.
The farmhouse is close to a small hamlet within the district of Anghiari, a charming medieval town in the Tuscan part of the Upper Tiber Valley, in the province of Arezzo. Anghiari is a charming town and has been voted one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Italy. It is a vibrant, albeit small town with an abundance of cultural events throughout the year. The town is approx. 429 m above sea level and has a population of around 5,800 people.
The house is set out over 3 floors for a total of approx. 330 sq m, as follows:
- Ground floor: kitchen with doors leading to pantry/utility room and a second doorway leading to the dining and living room with terracotta wood burner, interlinking additional reception room, hallway, bedroom, bathroom and shower room.
- First floor: kitchen, living room with fireplace, media room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- Second floor: bedroom and living room.
The house was completely renovated in 2005 with much care taken to preserve the original features such as beamed ceilings with terracotta tiles and the splendid original stone floor in the kitchen and living room on the ground floor. Additional items were added to enhance the comfort and liveability of the property, such as, highly sought-after terracotta wood burners and cast-iron wood burners to make the property even more welcoming and cosy during the colder months of the year.
The windows are wood framed with double glazing and selected doors have been made with metal frames to maximise the light that floods the rooms.
There is underfloor heating throughout the house except in the bathrooms, which have radiators and heated towel racks.
Casale Serentità has an in-ground GPL tank, and mains supplied electricity plus there are solar panels to produce hot water during the warmer months. Water is provided by a 50 m deep private well, with 2 large cisterns for additional water storage including rainwater collection.
There are several well-placed terraces around the house that are perfect spots for outdoor dining and to enjoy the wonderful views.
A raised bed, kitchen garden is located on the terrace just outside the kitchen plus a range of herbs growing in beds.
Nestled within over 10,700 sq m of land, this property showcases thoughtfully cultivated grounds, which have been meticulously tended over the years. The grounds encompass an olive grove of approx. 110 trees, various fruit trees including, apples, apricots, cherries, quinces and mulberries, carefully planned landscaping and a well-placed 12 x 4.5 m saltwater swimming pool, perfect for the long Tuscan summers.
Lastly, near the farmhouse, a spacious 60 sq m garage is discreetly built into the hillside, to minimise its visibility within the garden.
Casale Serentità is a welcoming, peaceful retreat with abundant charm and sought after Tuscan views.
