There is a loggia, ten minutes from the sea at Castiglione della Pescaia, where time slows down: nothing in front of you but olive trees, a vineyard and a wooded hill. It is the heart of this semi-detached home, 130 sqm in total on two levels, in the countryside of the Tuscan Maremma, province of Grosseto: private entrance, ready to move into, waiting to become your home or your retreat near the sea.
Forty square metres, covered and open to the greenery: this is where you have breakfast, eat lunch all summer and wait for the sunset with a glass in your hand. The loggia leads straight into the house, and the view follows you from the kitchen window and from the bedroom balcony.
Inside: the fireplace and the table
The eat-in kitchen, fitted and equipped, is the room where everyone gathers: a large table, a sofa and a stone fireplace for winter evenings. The house also has a double bedroom with a 10 sqm balcony, a study and a bathroom with a bathtub and a window onto the green. It is sold partly furnished: you walk in and start living.
Downstairs, plenty of extra space
On the lower level, with direct access from the garden, there is a large storage room with exposed tuff-stone walls, currently set up for dinners with friends, with a second WC and a cellar. In front, a porch for sitting in the shade. Next to it, a room with a vehicle door, handy for keeping the car under cover, and outside there is space to park five more. Plus a 60 sqm attic.
Garden, olive trees and your own oil
Around the house, about 300 sqm of garden and 1,140 sqm of land with fifteen olive trees: enough for a family supply of olive oil. The garden is already alive, with rosemary, prickly pears and a pomegranate tree.
Comfort and location
Independent LPG heating with radiators, wooden double-glazed windows. The house is vacant on completion. Castiglione della Pescaia, with its beaches, harbour, restaurants and all services, is a ten-minute drive away; cafés and public transport are close by. Ideal as a holiday home, a first home in the countryside or a permanent base in the Maremma.
