Volterra, Tuscany 56048

Villa La Fonte 84-hectare agricultural estate in Volterra, Pisa Tuscany Ref. PIS186 An unpaved road leads to an ancient farm transformed into a prestigious residence, with open views of the Tuscan hills and Volterra just a few minutes away. Between San Gimignano and Bolgheri, about 40 km from the sea, the property combines scenic beauty with contemporary functionality. The farmhouse, two levels totaling 980 sq m, was finely restored, preserving Tuscan charm and integrating it with cutting-edge technologies: underfloor heating and cooling, home automation, solar panels and a lift from ground floor to first floor. In front of the main façade, the travertine terrace with a pergola opens onto the panorama and the overflow pool with saline system. The interiors convey elegance and measure: a living room in a 19th-century style with boiserie, fireplace and large exposed beams; living spaces interconnected with terracotta vaulted ceilings and large-format slab floors; a fully equipped kitchen with an island connected to the dining area and the external pergola with a second cooking area. The ground-floor bedrooms, around 30 sq m, have direct garden access; the first-floor rooms are around 25 sq m with high wooden ceilings and windowed bathrooms finished with taste, double sinks and wall-hung toilets. Layout: Ground Floor: entrance hall with access to the elevator and internal stairs, on the left a 50 sq m sitting room with fireplace, room with an antique wood-fired oven, sitting room/office, dining room open to the kitchen with island and access to the pergola with outdoor cooking area, pantry with access to the laundry room and to the central plant room; on the right a living room with music/cinema and living/office, 1 bathroom, atelier/hobby room, courtyard, 1 master bedroom with wardrobe and bathroom, 1 double bedroom with bathroom, double sinks, bath and shower. First Floor: landing with elevator and lounge, on the right 2 bedrooms with private bathroom, 1 double bedroom with bathroom and private access via external stairs on the left 7 rooms to be finished and furnished. Around the house extend 97 hectares of orchard, olive grove with about 600 trees, cropland, pasture and woodland. A natural spring and small private lagoons feed irrigation of the garden and the drip system of the orchard. Completing the picture is a large stone building for agricultural vehicle storage and deposits, with the roof dedicated to photovoltaic panels. Designed as a private residence with a farm and ready to move in, Villa La Sorgente is perfect also for a high-end hospitality, where style, comfort and nature find a rare balance in the heart of Tuscany. It is also possible to significantly reduce the extent of the dirt road to reach the property: there is, in fact, a shorter alternative route of only 1.45 km that would require restoration work.
