Restored country house surrounded by landscaped gardens with pool, for sale in Manciano, the hometown of Italian actor Roberto Benigni, Arezzo. On the route to Cortona, in a private corner of Tuscany, south of Arezzo, a former farmhouse made of two different parts, joined together years ago by a former patio, offers today one fabulous home in traditional rustic style. On 2.2 acres of private plot with landscaped gardens and lawns, fully fenced and bordered with Mediterranean shrubs, a handcrafted iron automatic gate opens into the courtyard. The main part of the building faces the entrance gate, is on two floors, and has natural stone facades, and a typical loggia on the first floor with two arches and a marvelous view over the surroundings. The second part, facing the garden, is a two-story former barn now connected to the main stone building, and boasts a great open portico. The overall restoration has been carried out in several steps since 2006, offering today three self-contained units decorated in traditional Tuscan country-style, all different in characteristics and type, with either two or three bedrooms, featuring charming living areas with fireplaces, stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, floors tiled in travertine, marble or handmade terracotta. For all wine lovers, one living room boasts a particular glass access to a basement stylish built-in cellar for wine storage. All bathrooms are newly tiled in marble and fitted with modern elements, double sinks, free-standing bath tubes and walk-in showers. The landscaped gardens and patios feature perfect outdoor living areas equipped with a built-in barbecue. The property benefits of a private artesian well, with a number of storage tanks and latest UV lights multiple filters system, and provides water for both domestic and irrigation use. The town of Marciano is at just 2 km away presenting a wide choice of shops, restaurants and, not to be missed, the 4,5 meter-high Roberto Benigni statue, made in bronze and Serena stone, portrayed with his classic scruffy hair and giggling expression.
