La Casina is a property consisting of 3 buildings surrounded by c. 8,500 sq m of land. The main building is an imposing, historic villa with origins dating back as far as 1000 AD. when it was a watchtower to protect the ancient, fortified settlement of Pieve Santo Stefano.
Pieve Santo Stefano is a Tuscan town on the banks of the river Tiber, located in the Upper Tiber Valley, in the province of Arezzo. The municipality, of about 3,100 inhabitants, is the home of the National Diary Archive and offers bars, restaurants and various shops.
All of the buildings require a complete restructuring but the property has considerable potential to become something truly special.
The villa is set out over 3 floors for a total of c. 265 sq m as follows (the rooms are purely indicative as the property is to be restored according to the needs of the new buyer):
- Ground floor: 3 cellars.
- First floor: entrance, hallway, kitchen, toilet and pantry
- Second floor: entrance, hallway, kitchen, dining room and living room
- Attic floor: 3 bedrooms, wardrobe room and hallway
The property underwent some important consolidation works in 1996 in which a ventilated roof was built using chestnut wood beams’ and terracotta tiles and a reinforced concrete perimeter rim was added and the attic floor was replaced and a three-chamber septic tank was installed.
In addition to the villa, La Casina offers of two outbuildings, one, an old granary, is set out over two floors for a total of c. 145 sq m, while the smaller outbuilding is a single storey building of c. 25 sq m. The roof of the latter was renovated in 1996 while the roof of the granary is temporary, albeit solid, in anticipation of a potential elevation.
Even though La Casina is located close to the historic centre, the property is immersed in c. 8,700 sq m of land making the property very private and surrounded by greenery. The property has 3 driveways should the new owner wish to create independent units, each with its own entrance.
The property needs a complete restructuring but offers large rooms and huge potential and the proximity to the historic centre adds great appeal.
