The owners of this beautiful home, an architect and his interior designer wife, paid particular attention to details when restoring this farm building into a magnificent country home, located in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, a romantic landscape of rolling hills and cypress trees.
When they started planning this home, their intention was to make sure they keep the balance of the natural landscape that the building sits on. The used a special plaster that gives the residence an appearance of an ancient home. There are three beautiful arched doors leading into the house that were architecturally kept in tact, originally the entrances to the horse stables. Overall, the house has a feeling of the Renaissance architecture and the new owners introduced a bit of modern furnishings and coloring. The swimming pool, located across the sprawling lawns, is a blending of the old and new. Once an ancient bath where the clothes were washed, there is now an infinity pool of great proportions, measuring 4 meters by 20 meters (13 x 66 feet), perfect for doing laps but also ideal for just a casual swim. The pool seems to melt into the horizon and becomes part of the landscape. For those of you who are attuned to nature, there are many places to take walks among poppies, wheat fields and forests.
From the front of the house, there are three large arched doorways that were originally the entrances to the stables. Now it leads into a beautiful eat-in kitchen with a table large enough to seat twelve or perfect for using as a prep area. From this kitchen area, it opens out to the dining room that can seat twenty. The third arched door opens into a foyer. On your left is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom with shower, on your right, a staircase that leads upstairs to the first floor. A hallway runs along the length of the house, turn left and you walk out to the side of the terrace and a double bedroom with en suite bath with tub and views of a picturesque view of the countryside. In the other direction, the hallway takes you past a guest bathroom, the kitchen and at the end, the large, fifty square meter living room with fireplace. From the hallway and living rooms there are a total of five French doors that lead out to a magnificent and large terrace and gardens at the back of the house. This terrace has two separate living areas, with tables and chairs and outdoor kitchen on one side and another spacious terrace with chairs for relaxing with drinks. Between these two terraces is an external staircase that leads up to the first floor.
