Description

Podere Fontegallo is a newly restored 17th century Country House perched on a hill with spectacular views to the horizon. It can either be bought as a family villa or an investment property - or both. Built in 1682, it sits on 8,100 sq.m of land and has breathtaking views of gentle rolling hills with Medieval villages such as Cortona, Chiusi, Montepulciano, Castiglione del Lago, etc in the distance. The property has been recently restored to a very high standard with utmost care using the best materials in keeping with the character of the house. Inside are typical terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, original doors and many other features from the 17th century. Outside are four patios, a gazebo and large patio surround the swimming pool and are decorated with hand painted ceramic tiles. There are many quiet places to sit and take in the lovely views. A stairway leads from the swimming pool level down to a bathroom and dressing room. The approach to the property is via a 500m private road that leads to the electronically controlled gate with videophone entry system. You then pass through the gates along an impressive 100m long drive lined on both sides with Cyprus trees. When you reach the top of the hill, 400m above sea level, you will find a parking area with space for 5 cars.
