PORTOLE

Traditional Tuscan Farmhouse with Panoramic Views Near Cortona

Set in a dominant and peaceful hillside position, this charming traditional Tuscan farmhouse enjoys breathtaking views across wooded hills, valleys and the surrounding countryside. The property comprises approximately 210 sqm of living space, a 150 sqm barn, and 1.8 hectares of land, with the possibility of building a 72 sqm swimming pool.

Located in the hills above Cortona, the property is just a 12-minute drive from the town and approximately 1.5 km from Portole. The area is particularly attractive for walking and cycling, with numerous trails, historic Roman roads and beautiful countryside, much of which forms part of a protected nature reserve. Lake Trasimeno provides a spectacular backdrop.

The main stone farmhouse is surrounded by a pleasant garden and has been divided into three independent apartments:

• Apartment 1 – 90 sqm: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with fireplace. Direct access to both front and rear gardens.
• Apartment 2 – 40 sqm: One bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining area with fireplace, opening onto a covered porch with beautiful views.
• Apartment 3 – 80 sqm: In need of modernisation, with two bedrooms, kitchen, living/dining room with fireplace and bathroom. The bedrooms enjoy lovely panoramic views.

There is also a ground-floor storage room with potential to create an internal connection to the main house, subject to technical assessment.

The 150 sqm barn, currently divided into four spaces, could potentially be converted into a guest annexe, although the necessary planning permissions would require time and patience.

Overall, this is a beautiful historic farmhouse in an exceptional natural setting, offering excellent potential for a private residence combined with a holiday rental business. Its three separate apartments make it particularly suitable for generating rental income while allowing the owner to live on site.
