Casa Nova

Property

It is amazing what the hills around Florence can offer in terms of historical villas and breathtaking views. This is an approx.400m2 two level villa with a small observation tower on the very top overlooking the valley and the river below and an extra 160m2 to be converted. In former times the tower was used to guard the river from enemies. The house, dating 1780, has been maintained with all its ancient features and offers a lot of space, charm and a country-like atmosphere despite the short distance from Florence (17km). The villa is surrounded by 2.4 hectares of land with a park full of cypress trees, 190 olive trees and a variety of fruit trees, woods and fields, a green-house and an orchard.

Building(s).

The villa spreads out on two levels and on the upper level there is a very large living room, kitchen, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a study in the tower. Part of the lower level has been renovated into a self-contained apartment with a living room, dining room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom which is currently rented by visitors on a weekly basis. The rest of the house lower level has not been finished but there is room enough for another apartment. An extra 160m2 volume stretching towards the back of the house (now shelters and barns) are a good volume for conversion.
