For Sale in ... Tuscany, Italy
900,000 Euros ($1,314,000)
This late 19th-century farmhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms is built of alberese stone. It is situated near the Mediterranean coast, in the Tuscan countryside two and a half miles from the village of Guardistallo, about 40 miles south of Pisa. The French doors leading into the living room can be secured with tall shutters; the kitchen also has French doors leading outside. An arched stone doorway connects the living and dining rooms, and the floors throughout the house are of terra cotta tile. The kitchen has a typical Tuscan sloped timber ceiling, and arched windows overlook cypress trees and rolling hills. There is one full bath off the living room; the other, upstairs, has decorative tile. All three bedrooms are upstairs. The ground floor has a completely separate two-bedroom apartment that could be reintegrated. Currently, the house is used as a vacation rental.
