Casa Coccola, Terontola Alta €1,500,000

Set in a fabulous hillside position, just minutes from the local village, Casa Coccola ia a wonderful restored farmhouse which combines history with modern day convenience. The drive up to the property is lovely as the road winds up and along other homes. There are two gated entrances into the property with parking and a garage. The home itself has a warm stone facade and sits in a lovely south west position. The foundations date  back to the 1500's and many original features are still conserved throughout the home, adding to its overall appeal.

There are two levels to the house, where both can be accessed externally. The ground floor holds a kitchen, with access to the covered terrace and swimming pool area, a bathroom, a dining room, music room and bedroom/study. Adjacent to this area is the laundry room that can easily be converted into another bathroom if necessary. This floor opens into the front gardens from every room.

Up a flight of stairs and one finds two bedrooms and a full bath with dressing room and a cloak room. A large sitting room complete with fireplace looks onto the swimming pool area and garden. All utilities are in excellent working order and include gas heating, 3 wells, electrics, telephone, ADSL line and air conditioning.  

The small annex adjoining the farmhouse is also arranged over two floors and has been stone built. The ground floor comprises a large living room with open fireplace and kitchenette whilst the first floor accommodates one double-bedroom and one bathroom with shower. Perfect for guests, this lovely cottage is independent and cozy yet nicely integrated into the rest of the property.  

The grounds are outstanding and are manicured by the owners as their passion. Flower beds, fruit trees, woods and nearly 300 olive trees surround the home and create the most wonderful ambience. The large swimming pool is located on an upper tier and enjoys splendid views of the hillside and lower valley. A covered eating area nearby is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors.  

Amenities are nearby with the village of Terontola - where one will also find the main train station of the area - and Cortona is a mere 8 km from the property. The central location of the property means that access to various other cities, like Siena, Perugia and Florence, is efficient with the A1 Autostrada and the Siena/Perugia Motorway at easy reach. Casa Coccola is definitely a home to visit for its finish and overall setting. Perfect for full time living yet great as a holiday home as well, the property is well contained in its 3 hectares and offers serenity whilst being closely tied to the benefits of a town and city.
