Leopoldina Farmhouse With Tower And Outbuildings: A Story Waiting To Be Brought Back To Life
In the countryside of Cortona, among cultivated fields and open views across the Tuscan landscape, we are offering for sale a late-18th-century Leopoldina farmhouse, already documented in the historic Leopoldine land registry. This property requires restoration and is distinguished by its generous volumes, original architectural features and characteristic tower, which defines its silhouette.
The main building and connected agricultural buildings have an approximate total area of 880 m2, offering the opportunity to restore a residence representative of Tuscany’s rural heritage.
Architecture and period details
The date 1797, engraved on the original pietra serena stone fireplace, bears witness to the property’s 18th-century origins. The rendered façades, articulated with brick quoins and arched openings, retain the character of the original building.
Inside, barrel and cross vaults, predominantly antique terracotta flooring and sections of pietra serena stone tell the story of the property.
The pietra serena fireplace and the original pine beams in the first-floor ceilings complete a collection of valuable features that could be enhanced through a considered restoration.
The residence and agricultural buildings
The Leopoldina farmhouse extends over three levels. The ground-floor rooms, once associated with agricultural activities, include an entrance hall, four large cellars, a storage room, a bathroom and a kitchen-diner, as well as a large room used as a garage and an old wood-fired oven.
The first floor, accessible via internal and external staircases, offers spaces to be reorganised during renovation. It includes a kitchen-diner, a bathroom and seven rooms that could be arranged as living and sleeping areas.
At the top of the building is the characteristic tower of approximately 20 m2, originally used as a dovecote, with an engraving depicting Saint Stephen on its exterior façade.
A covered walkway connects the main building to the former agricultural building, which includes spacious former stables, equipment storage rooms and a cellar. The property also includes a separate outbuilding of approximately 36 m2, formerly used as a garage and also requiring renovation.
Land and outdoor spaces
The property includes approximately 8,000 m2 in total, comprising land and the grounds around the buildings. It is set in open countryside without being isolated, with views over the surrounding landscape.
There are two wells that require restoration, a reminder of the property’s original agricultural use.
Condition and restoration potential
The entire complex requires comprehensive renovation, both in the residential areas and in the agricultural spaces.
The spacious interiors and original architectural features provide an interesting basis for a restoration project, either as a distinctive private residence or potentially for hospitality use, subject to assessment in accordance with the property’s historic designation and the required authorisations.
Location and transport links
The property is located in a hamlet in the municipality of Cortona, with essential services just over five minutes away by car. Its location makes it possible to enjoy the Tuscan countryside while maintaining convenient connections to nearby towns.
The villages of Valdichiana and Val d’Orcia, including Montepulciano, Pienza and Lucignano, are among the destinations accessible from the property. Camucia-Cortona railway station and the A1 Valdichiana motorway exit near Bettolle are the main transport links for journeys towards Florence and Rome.
