Casale in Vendita a Bucine, Toscana - Zona Tranquilla ad Arezzo

Enchanting Tuscan Art Nouveau villa built in neo-medieval style with tower and panoramic terraces for sale exclusively with Apolloni & Blom near Bucine, Arezzo. Within a 128-hectare estate, in the heart of Tuscany, stands the tall tower Villa Frisoni in Lupinari, a unique example of rural architecture built at the beginning of the last century by celebrated Italian architect Gino Coppedè, who between 1901 and 1906 did not limit himself to philologically correct architectural reworkings in neo-medieval style and 15th-century character, but mixed styles and eras, transforming them into magnificent settings and details. From the outside, the mullioned windows with stone columns and capitals, surmounted by artfully inlaid brickwork and guarded by stone lion sculptures, are immediately striking. Or the arched loggia that protrudes from the compact geometry of the building and inside of which are frescoes and wall paintings surmounted by coats of arms and coats of arms, mosaic stones, and painted tile flooring, clearly reminiscent of Portuguese azulejos. Beautiful are the painted coffered ceilings with inlaid planks and beams along the corners by Coppodè´s father and Galileo Ghini. The interior of the castle is a highly evocative setting, where strong are the echoes of a past linked to the life of the ancient Tuscan landed aristocracy. The villa is divided into five floors of the main body plus three floors of the tower with two large panoramic terraces. In the basement, there are service rooms, such as laundry and ironing room, cellars and technical rooms. The main entrance hall opens onto a living room and study with a wonderfully frescoed covered veranda. Also on the same floor is an elegant reception hall, a dining room, a service entrance, a large kitchen, a hallway and guest bathroom. Going up to the second floor are four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a frescoed veranda as on the floor below. Walking down the inlaid wooden staircase you reach the second floor consisting of a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the fourth and top floor, a majestic living room overlooks a terrace where you can admire the park and its surroundings. But the most spectacular viewpoint is from the tower. Ascending three floors via a wooden staircase leads to the observation point where enchanting views can be enjoyed. Each floor of the tower has a unique room to be used as lounges, study or rooms. A park with tall trees and Mediterranean plants surrounds the villa. Several outbuildings to be restored and storage outbuildings are included. The farm includes 128 hectares of land with olive grove, arable land, mixed woodland and coppice. Because of its prestigious architectural features and prime location, this splendid property offers excellent potential for a private residence and agritourism business where travelers can be accommodated.
