Serenità Country House in the Hills

Next to the main house, a detached outbuilding houses a historic wood-fired oven, a testament to a rural spirit that has never been lost. Outside, a lovingly tended garden features an al fresco dining area, ideal for long Tuscan afternoons, whilst a private well and an LPG heating and air-conditioning system ensure comfort and self-sufficiency all year round. On the ground floor, three spacious, currently unfinished rooms offer a blank canvas to be shaped: new bedrooms, a self-contained guest flat, a study or a wellness area, depending on the wishes of those who will live there. And the potential doesn’t stop there: planning permission has already been granted both for extending the house to a total of five bedrooms and for building a panoramic swimming pool with unrivalled views — a rare advantage that allows work to begin immediately, without any bureaucratic delays. Nestled in secluded tranquillity and accessible via a well-maintained gravel track, the property is nevertheless a short distance from essential amenities, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. Whether chosen as a permanent home, a holiday retreat or an investment in the hospitality sector, The Hilltop Serenity lends itself equally well to any purpose. At €680,000, this property represents a rare opportunity: a ready-to-move-into Tuscan farmhouse, with ample scope for expansion and personalisation, just a few minutes from the iconic town of Cortona. Your dream retreat, in one of Tuscany’s most sought-after locations.
