Country house de' Cavalieri with pool, Cortona, Arezzo - Tuscany
Ancient hunting lodge with turret newly converted into a charming four-bedroom country house with pool, in hamlet with security, for sale near Cortona. Situated in an ancient compound dating back to the late 1700s, once owned by the Knights of Saint Stephen, it boasts scenic views of Cortona and the rural Val di Chiana landscape; the old hunting lodge has been meticulously transformed into an elegant Tuscan country house with a garden and private swimming pool. Perfect and ready to live in with original elements and traditional features paired with air conditioning in all rooms, thermal double-glazed wooden doors, and windows fitted with mosquito nets. The building consists of a main floor plus a turret with a total area of roughly 245 square meters (2637 sq ft). The ground-floor entrance porch leads to classic country-style interiors with exposed wood-beamed ceilings, arched doorways, handmade terracotta floors, pietra serena stones in steps, window frames, and fireplaces. The fully equipped kitchen features modern, simple lines with brand-new appliances, a central island, and an arch over the dining area. One of the two ground-floor bedrooms is furnished as a study and reading room. The watchtower, with its typical arched mullioned windows, houses a 360-degree view suite. The redevelopment project involved demolishing the old building and its complete reconstruction using excellent architectural techniques and state-of-the-art materials that provide thermal insulation, energy efficiency, and anti-seismic structures. The garden surrounds it on four sides and has a 45-square-meter (484 sq ft) gazebo for al fresco dining overlooking the pool. Borgo de' Cavalieri is set on a fully fenced 20,000 square meters plot (5 acres) and includes a residential area of six houses with a common park, a guest parking lot, a main gated entrance, and a driveway. A security and maintenance service is already in operation, which, upon request, can be extended to individual buildings and gardens in addition to assistance with property management and tourist rentals. The access road is a typical gravel road crossing the Tuscan countryside, roughly 300 meters (328 yards) long. The compound offers 5 more villas with a private garden and pool to be completed and tailored with interior and outdoor finish options available. Contact us for more details.
