In the evocative setting of the Val di Chiana, just 1 km from the village of Acquaviva di Montepulciano, stands this fascinating 1800s farmhouse with exposed brickwork. A historic property just waiting to be brought back to life, it offers the rare opportunity to design a bespoke residence in one of Tuscany’s most beloved areas. The main structure (222 sq m) is arranged over two levels and is characterised by the authenticity of its materials, such as terracotta bricks sourced from ancient local kilns. The Ground Floor is currently divided into 4 large rooms used as cellars, boasting surprisingly high ceilings of a striking 3 metres. This feature, unusual for the period, lends itself perfectly to the creation of a majestic and light-filled open-plan living area with direct access to the garden. The First Floor is accessible via the classic external Tuscan staircase and comprises 4 rooms where an original 19th-century fireplace stands out, serving as the perfect centrepiece for a cosy lounge steeped in history. Just a few steps from the farmhouse, an independent outbuilding of approximately 30 sq m offers the ideal space to create a guest annexe, a wellness area or a private studio. The property is surrounded by an impressive 3.2 hectares of arable agricultural land, guaranteeing absolute privacy, while a private well ensures the water supply. Unlike many isolated country houses, Podere Del Lago offers the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and convenience: the amenities of Acquaviva di Montepulciano are just a short 1 km walk away. The property is sold requiring renovation, allowing the buyer to customise finishes and systems (currently inactive) according to the most modern energy efficiency standards, while keeping its historic charm completely intact.
