Prestigious 16th-century aristocratic villa for sale on the hills of Cortona, in the heart of the Val di Chiana, nestled in a setting of absolute privacy just minutes from the historic center. The property extends over approximately 3 hectares of private land and comprises over 1,850 square meters of interior space distributed between the main villa, outbuildings, and reception rooms, offering up to 20 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, numerous reception rooms, frescoed rooms, and a cellar. Surrounded by a magnificent centuries-old park with an Italian garden, olive grove, and orchard, the estate's exterior facades have recently been restored, offering a rare opportunity to experience authentic Tuscany in a residence of extraordinary historical, artistic, and landscape value. THE CONTEXT This residence is set in one of Tuscany's most authentic locations: the area surrounding the town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo, renowned for its millennia-old history and the picture-perfect landscapes of the Val di Chiana. Its strategic location means it's just minutes away from renowned destinations such as Montepulciano and Montalcino, renowned for their wine production, and the enchanting Lake Trasimeno. The surrounding countryside, dotted with cypress trees, olive groves, and vineyards, offers a setting of rare beauty for those seeking a private retreat yet perfectly connected to the region's main cultural and artistic centers. THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY The estate's main building dates back to the 16th century and is a magnificent example of noble Tuscan architecture, subsequently expanded during the 19th century. For centuries the residence of important aristocratic families, the villa still retains the charm and prestige of the region's great historic homes. The original Napoleonic-era frescoes decorating the private chapel, the lemon house, and numerous rooms on the main floor were restored in 2023, bringing back the original magnificence of the spaces. The conservative restoration project enhanced every historical detail while maintaining the materials, proportions, and atmosphere intact. THE VILLA AND THE INTERIORS An elegant tree-lined avenue leads to the residence. The ground floor, accessible via two independent entrances, features large reception rooms, two studies, a kitchen with a fireplace, a pantry, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The main rooms are embellished with ornate ceilings and original architectural features that lend the rooms a refined and timeless character. Also on the ground floor is the charming private chapel, one of the property's most prestigious spaces, entirely decorated with historic frescoes. The first floor houses the sleeping area with several bedrooms and spacious bathrooms, while the second level features additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and a large, richly decorated living room. The panoramic tower, located on the top floor, features a veranda and a terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. Among the property's most charming spaces is the ancient frescoed orangery, an elegant, light-filled reception space with a strong visual impact. Its size and location make it perfect for private receptions, exclusive events, tastings, or the creation of a refined restaurant. The large basement cellar retains its original stone structure and is ideal for storing wines, as a display space, or as a reception area. The complex also includes a caretaker's lodge of approximately 45 square meters and an additional independent building of approximately 115 square meters. THE EXTERIORS AND THE PARK The villa's grounds extend over approximately 3 hectares and provide a captivating landscape. Manicured lawns, monumental trees, wooded areas, and productive agricultural areas blend harmoniously with the residence's architecture. The olive grove, fruit orchard, tree-lined arable land, and irrigated vegetable garden further enhance the property's authentic character. Two wells ensure a constant water supply and make it particularly easy to build a panoramic swimming pool or additional wellness amenities. The presence of a natural helicopter landing pad, already used in the past, represents a further element of exclusivity and convenience for private travel. DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Thanks to its substantial real estate, layout, and the presence of independent outbuildings, the property is ideal for a boutique hotel, a charming relais, or an exclusive wellness resort. The extensive outdoor spaces also allow for the creation of a spa, tasting areas, high-end dining, and luxury hospitality services, further enhancing the estate's investment potential. Living in this historic residence means immersing yourself in a daily experience of harmony, beauty, and authenticity, surrounded by the light and landscapes of authentic Tuscany. It is the ideal place for those looking to purchase a prestigious residence, make a valuable investment, or develop an exclusive hospitality business in the heart of one of Italy's most sought-after regions.
