Farmhouse to be restored, with
2
annexes and 37 hectares of land, San
Quirico d'Orcia (Ref.
Podere Cancelli)
|
|
 |
The
property is located in a small valley featuring arable land and gentle
hills, bordered to the Southwest with Montalcino by a natural border formed
by the river Asso.
The
other sides of the property are almost entirely bordered by another two
rivers.
An
artificial lake has been created in the uppermost part of the property, in
co-ownership with the neighbouring farm (Podere
A-B). |
|
There
is a total area of land of 37 ha, of which 33 is arable.
One hectare is covered by the portion of the lake forming
part of the property and 1 ha of woods on the lake side; the remaining land
has a network of banked tracks.
There
are two stone buildings and one open annex.
The
quality of the land allows for the planting of a multitude of crops; from
tobacco to cereals. |
 |
|
 |
Such
versatility also makes it possible to grow vines and olives in the higher
part through the nature of the soil and its particular exposure.
As well
as being an attractive feature, the lake provides simple, gravity-fed
irrigation of one part of the property.
Standing on a small hill, the main farmhouse enjoys a splendid 360° view of
Montalcino to the west, with all the surrounding vineyards, and Monte Amiata
to the south.
The
house's brick and stone construction is of the classic Tuscan style, and has
a total surface area, for the dwelling and the ground floor annexes, of 440
square metres. |
|
The house is currently not liveable although
electricity and telephone connections are available and the mains water
and sewers are no more than 300 mt. away.
A recently constructed brick annexe stands
close to the farmhouse. Built over two floors on a hillside, it has a
total surface area of 236 square metres, plus one annex open on all sides
of 140 square metres.
|
 |
|
 |
The valley where the property is
located, Val d’Orcia, has recently been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage
site.
The famous pilgrimage route, Via
Francigena, recently designated as a site of natural and historic interest,
runs through the property.
