"What a desire for chestnuts and scents of the woods and light that filters through the branches and a fireplace waiting for you at the end of the road." (Fabrizio Caramagna)
This aphorism summarizes the context in which the "Castagneto" villa is immersed and what the property arouses as soon as you enter it; Approximately 26,000 m2 of chestnut trees (precious chestnuts) alternate with approximately 6,000 m2 of fir forest to act as protection around the garden and the almost 8,000 m2 of fields with well-kept olive and fruit trees surround the house. The building, a beautiful villa made up of an original nucleus from the 1800s and a part undergoing expansion at the end of the 1900s (the roof was completely redone in 2000), is spread over 3 levels: on the ground floor, from a loggia, you enter the 'dwelling; here we find the entrance, the living room with dining room, the dining room with a beautiful stone fireplace, the kitchen where we also have a wood stove connected to the heating system, a bathroom, a double bedroom. A large staircase takes us to the first floor, where we have two more double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a bathroom with tub and two attics. From the external square, a staircase adjacent to the house leads to the large panoramic terrace where you can have pleasant lunches or dinners with friends, or simply lie down to sunbathe and relax. Turning behind the house, in the basement, we find four cellars and the laundry room. In front of the cellars we have a comfortable annex used as a warehouse with a wood-burning oven, while on the lower level we have other small rooms once used as stalls. The garden, bordered by a fence and with an automatic gate, is spread over various levels interspersed with stone walls and ornamental hedges, and is enriched by a beautiful kiwi pergola, fruit trees, flowering bushes, wooden fences, lanterns. Near the driveway there is a large garage that can comfortably accommodate two cars, as well as garden and field equipment, while another small garage is located under the panoramic terrace. Also inside the garden there is a large irrigation tank which can be converted into a beautiful swimming pool, of which it already has the dimensions. I could go on and on, because there are still numerous details that make the "Castagneto" cottage a decidedly comfortable, pleasant and interesting property, but the best thing is surely that you come and visit it, to make sure of it personally, whether you are looking for a house to live in , a second home where you can host relatives and friends if necessary, or an accommodation facility for tourists who love nature and the countless beauties that the Casentino offers.
