Elegantly restored 17th-century country house with park and spectacular view of Radicofani, south of Siena. Nestled on a hill 600 meters above sea level, overlooking the enchanting gullies of the Val d’Orcia, this elegantly restored 17th-century country house offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. Located along the historic Via Francigena, once the ancient route for pilgrims traveling to Rome, the property has evolved over the centuries from a post station to a rural home, and now serves as a refined private residence and B&B. The house is a stunning example of Tuscan architecture, with its original square plan and later lateral extension housing stables and warehouses. The restoration has been meticulously carried out to preserve its historical charm, using authentic materials such as basalt stone, hand-made bricks, and traditional roof tiles. The floors feature original chestnut beams, stringers, and mezzanines, with some rooms showcasing large transparent glass windows that reveal the magnificent original stone flooring. Elsewhere, local travertine adds a timeless touch. The two-story building accommodates three bedrooms on the ground floor, two of which are set in the former stables, each with en suite bathrooms. A sauna, a lounge with a dining area, and a spacious laundry room complete this level. The first floor houses a master apartment, accessed by an external staircase with a loggia and an internal spiral staircase. This apartment features a typical Tuscan kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, a bedroom, a study, a bathroom, and a closet. The property spans approximately 2 hectares, adorned with 250 tall trees that provide ample shade. A panoramic terrace and a pine forest offer a 360° view of Radicofani, Monte Amiata, Monte Cetona, and beyond, extending to Lazio and Umbria. Equipped with modern security systems, this farmhouse represents a perfect home or an exceptional investment for hospitality, situated in the serene and authentic Val d’Orcia, a region renowned for its high quality of life and vibrant local community.
