For sale cottage in Pomarance Toscana

Renovated 1600s stone farmhouse into agritourism resort with 5 Class A apartments, pool and land for sale in Pomarance, Pisa. In the heart of Tuscany, at 520 meters above sea level, in the hills pointing towards the sea coast, dominating an area rich in boraciferous lakes, and with seven famous perfectly preserved medieval villages, from Pomarance to Larderello, the world capital of geothermal energy, an area that best interprets sustainability by exploiting its sources of heat from the heart of the earth. And following this philosophy Il Passato Country House has been fully refurbished and transformed into a charming dwelling with apartments for tourist vacations and for private use, equipped with high energy-saving systems with biomass heating and photovoltaics solar panels. Built in the 1600s in natural stone, the recent and accurate restoration has preserved its original features with stone facades, roofs covered with terracotta tiles and bricks, brick stairs and panoramic loggias. The interiors retain the rustic charm of Tuscan farmhouses with high wood-beamed ceilings, vaulted brick ceilings, brick arches, and converted into five apartments with 1 or 2 bedrooms, all different in size and type, featuring terracotta or parquet floors, bathrooms with showers and modern fittings. The garden is landscaped with Mediterranean plants and mature trees, and houses a swimming pool, a characteristic canopy with barbecue, outdoor relaxing areas, and a former stone barn, partially recovered, and convertible to residential use. The 74 acres of agricultural land, mainly forest, arable and pasture, has a water spring and two private ponds for irrigation use, and an olive grove with 250 trees. The hot springs of I Bagni di San Michele alle Formiche discovered by the Romans around 700 A.D., are just minutes away, as are Montecerboli, Lardarello, Pomarance, and Volterra. Thirty minutes from the sea and San Gimignano, less than an hour's drive from Siena and Florence.
