With stunning views of the medieval hillside town of Cortona in the foreground, Fondo Caprile sits nicely nestled amidst woodland and two hectares of garden. Private yet closely tied to town, this property is the perfect size for full time living or as a holiday retreat. A white road leads to the main gate of the property and to the parking area of the home. The present owner has restored the 18th century property to its original splendor, conserving old materials where possible and using the highest standard materials where needed. Finished to traditional style with all of the modern day comforts, Fondo Caprile sits on two floors and has a total of 600 sqm of habitable space.

The main home offers 4 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a large kitchen and dining room, cloak room, sitting area and library and three working stone fireplaces. An annex, joined to the house by a covered terrace, holds 2 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. All services are in excellent working condition and include two wells, broadband Internet service, telephone, gas for heating, septic system and electrics. There is also a cellar that is perfect for wine and olive oil storage. Another fine touch is the working pizza oven.

Outside, there is ample space to create a wonderful Italian style garden. The irrigation system that is in place will make sure that the garden remains a lush green. There is a 6 x 12 heated swimming pool located on an upper terrace with travertine surround that stays cool in the summer months, built - in outdoor kitchen with BBQ/fridge/sink/counter, pool bathroom and hot water outdoor shower and pergola for shade and dining. There is also a built-in aluminum pool cover with remote control for child safety/less cleaning/warmer water. The outdoor speakers add that final touch for when one is enjoying the garden and needless to say, the views from here are breathtaking!

The home is in an excellent position. Close to the village of Pergo for all basic amenities and with Cortona nearby for other shops, excellent restaurants and lively town life, Fondo Caprile is definitely a property to consider.
