Panoramica
Description
Nestled in the “green heart” of the Monti Pisani, this ancient stone farmhouse is a sanctuary of peace and history. Located just minutes from the fortified hamlet of Vicopisano, the property sits within a landscape once favored by ascetics and hermits for its profound tranquility. As you reach the end of a 600-meter unpaved track, the world slows down, revealing a home that follows the natural contours of the Tuscan hillside.
The Residence
Spanning approximately 230 sqm across two levels, the architecture is “pleasantly moved,” reflecting the organic growth of a historic rural estate.

The Ground Floor: A welcoming entrance leads to a versatile study (complete with cellar and bathroom). The living room serves as the home’s soul, centered around an antique working fireplace. A spacious dining room opens directly onto the gardens.
-
The Mezzanine: A functional, charming kitchen provides easy access to the outdoor terraces.
-
The First Floor: The sleeping quarters consist of a magnificent master suite with double windows framing the valley, a second double bedroom, a cozy third bedroom/nursery with walk in wardrobe, and two full bathrooms (including a master bath with tub and shower).
