Organic 20-hectare/49-acre estate with 1800s manor house paired with three guest country cottages, garden with pool, for sale in the Tuscan countryside north of Arezzo. Between the parishes, castles and Forest National Park of the Casentino region, an enchanting hillside setting at 450mt, between Arezzo and Florence, Casale La Verna is set just minutes from the Sanctuary of La Verna and the Monastery of Camaldoli. A former eighteenth-century natural stone farmhouse in traditional rustic style paired with three stone cottages, all elegantly restored for guests and staff use, with traditional natural stone facades, terracotta roofs, porches, garden terraces for al fresco dining, brick arches, wooden fixtures, and exposed wood-beamed ceilings faithfully reflecting the authenticity of 19th-century Tuscan farmhouses. All rooms have air conditioning, heating with both thermo-fireplaces and pellet boilers, and recently installed, a photovoltaic system with state-of-the-art solar panels. The main villa offers a living area on the ground floor with great halls with brick arches, fireplaces, a porch and four bedrooms with parquet floors. The master bedroom is very special located in the turret boasting its eight small windows together with a jacuzzi and a terrace. The guest cottages are slightly detached from the main villa and consist of five apartments of various types, with one or two bedrooms, and a 130-square-meter (1399 sq ft) party room with fireplace, views over the garden and the swimming pool, with access to a great terrace for al fresco dining. The park is landscaped with lawn areas, paths bordered with Mediterranean flower beds and mature trees, surrounds the manor villa and the guest cottages, and houses the swimming pool, a technical room and access to three garages, storage rooms and cellar. The olive grove with 300 plants, the orchard and the forest are certified organic farming respecting the most authentic Tuscan cultivation tradition.
