Full Description
In the enchanting area of Pomarance, immersed in the tranquility and authentic charm of the Tuscan countryside, we offer for sale an extraordinary historic villa dating back to 1850.
Originally built as a prestigious hunting residence for the illustrious Genoese Giovanbattista Cortese, admiral of Napoleon III, this residence represents a rare example of perfect harmony between historic elegance and contemporary comfort.
The main property extends over approximately 800 square meters across four levels, offering spacious, bright interiors rich in character.
On the ground floor there is a welcoming sitting room, a large traditional kitchen with oven and fireplace, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a wine cellar, and technical rooms.
The first floor features an elegant library, living room, kitchenette, music room, TV room, study, bathroom, and hallway. From the reception rooms on this level there is access to a magnificent panoramic balcony, offering enchanting views of the sea and the islands of Elba and Montecristo, as well as the garden and the rolling Tuscan hills.
The second floor hosts the sleeping area with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two sitting rooms, hallway, and walk-in wardrobe.
The third floor consists of a spacious attic with eight rooms to be renovated, with the possibility of creating up to six bedrooms with bathrooms; from here there is access to a charming panoramic turret with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside.
Completing the property is a 63 square meter annex, rebuilt in harmony with the villa, currently used as an open-space atelier with bathroom and already prepared for the installation of a kitchen, as well as the possibility of creating a loft bedroom. Adjacent is an elegant greenhouse.
Next to the ground floor there are ancient stone volumes of former stables and washhouses that can be transformed into a spa, as well as two underground brick cisterns for the collection of a total of 80 cubic meters of rainwater for irrigation.
The villa is heated through geothermal energy, an efficient and eco-sustainable solution that ensures constant comfort and optimized consumption throughout the year.
Energy, hot and cold water lines are already prepared in the garden facing the sea, where the portion of land for the construction of a swimming pool has been identified; the pool can be heated through district heating and therefore enjoyed all year round.
The villa is surrounded by approximately 3 hectares of private land, enhanced by 120 olive trees that add further value and authenticity to the property, along with a centuries-old park of holm oaks and cypresses, and two tree-lined driveways with gates.
