Casa Elsa

Set between the towns of San Casciano and Cerbaia along the Pesa river, this attractive 1900s property is for those looking for a tranquil setting but without being isolated. In fact, the original property comprised two buildings with the barn close by that is now separately owned. 

The property for sale of ca. 300 sqm on 2 floors was renovated by the current owners over 40 years and with the simple and tasteful style of an architect who has restored and enhanced the large, light rooms and created a fun and functional family home. With everyday services close at hand the property is an ideal full-time home or a wonderful rental villa with pool for those bucolic summer days in the cool interiors and evenings under ancient oak trees. Wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see and ancient woods give shade and cool evening breezes.

One enters the house through the main front door to find the original kitchen with open hearth and bread oven, an adjacent dining room/study, a guest bathroom with shower and laundry area and a large living room with fireplace that is potentially an independent apartment with a kitchenette and bathroom with shower. Stairs led to the first floor with a typical corridor running the length of the building with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms either end of the floor. There are several stoves but the house is centrally heated with GPL, there are solar panels and the drinkable water is from a spring.

The property is cadastrally divided into 2 parts but used as a single-family home and comes with ca. 8000 sqm of garden and woodland.

The location is 10 km from San Casciano, 3 km from Cerbaia and the property is approached via a gravel road in excellent condition and a short entrance drive.

Distances: Florence 24 km, Siena 68 km, Pisa 70 Km.
