Between Manciano and Argentario, a 420m² Tuscan residence facing the coast. Manciano, with open views facing the sea. On clear days, Montecristo stands out on the horizon. The house covers 420 square metres, spread over three levels, restored with restraint. The ground floor opens widely onto the infinity pool, which captures the landscape; the upper floor features five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while the basement houses the technical areas. What truly matters here is the far-reaching view toward the coast and the shifting light that moves across the hills from morning to evening. The garden follows the natural slope without unnecessary alteration, and the vegetable garden has been laid out separately. The renovation preserved the original beams and terracotta tiles wherever they were still sound. Argentario lies twenty minutes away, with Capalbio and Orbetello within the same distance. No immediate neighbours. Silence prevails; the sea closes the horizon.

The surrounding environment enhances the value of the property.

There's something for everyone here: a pied-à-terre, a second home or a rental investment.
