On the hills north of Arezzo, in a very quiet and panoramic location, Art Nouveau villa with park for sale. The property (962 sqm in total), dating back to the early twentieth century, is in excellent condition with the original finishes still intact, and is currently managed in a receptive perspective with good results. The 12,000-sqm park surrounding the building includes a 16 × 10 m swimming pool and a concrete tennis court.
Basic services are available in the nearby village (2km; 5'), while the historic center of Arezzo is about 10' drive from the property. The art cities of Tuscany are easily accessible, partly because of the proximity to the A1 highway interchange (13km).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The villa (675 sqm – 7,263 sqft, 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) dates back to 1915 but was later modified and expanded in the 1930s with the addition of Art Nouveau decorative elements. A major restoration and finishing work carried out in the 1960s gave the villa its final current appearance. The building is structured on four floors plus the panoramic roof-terrace in the turret:
- Ground floor: entrance hall, cellars, billiard room, deconsecrated aristocratic chapel with stained-glass windows made by Ascanio Pasquini, storerooms and technical rooms;
- First floor: two separate entrances, kitchen, formal dining room, living room, office space and large service bathroom;
- Second floor: five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two panoramic terraces;
- Third floor: three bedrooms, bathroom and partially habitable attics.
Opposite the villa is the guesthouse (105 sqm – 1,130 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), structured on two floors and consisting of entrance hall, kitchen with dining area, three bedrooms, bathroom and small private terrace.
The property is then completed by a greenhouse (60 sqm – 646 sqft) and a warehouse (122 sqm – 1,313 sqft) set right next to the guesthouse.
EXTERIORS
The villa is surrounded by a lush park of 12,000 sqm enclosed by a masonry fence, populated by rich vegetation and with driveways and pedestrian paths, all equipped with night lighting. In front of the villa there is also a beautiful 16 × 10 m swimming pool surrounded by a stone solarium and equipped with changing rooms, bathroom and shower.
Next to the pool, also within the park, we also find a tennis court (with MATECO concrete surface) that has as its strong point the presence of shade trees on two of the four sides that ensure the perfect experience even on the sunniest days.
Outside the fence are another 1.6 ha of land covered entirely by tall trees.
