Set within one of the most celebrated and sought-after rural landscapes in Tuscany, in a commanding position perched between the Renaissance hills of Montepulciano and the historic Etruscan town of Cortona, we offer for sale a prestigious exposed stone farmhouse encompassing approximately 400 sqm of commercial surface. Fully immersed in an idyllic natural backdrop defined by Vino Nobile DOCG vineyards and silvery olive groves, the property comprises an imposing main residence and a charming guest house converted from an authentic reclaimed brick and tuff barn. The estate masterfully bridges the timeless aesthetic of Tuscan vernacular architecture with top-tier residential comfort, offering expansive panoramic picture windows that draw in abundant daylight throughout the day and open out onto scenic vistas of the Val di Chiana and the Tuscan-Umbrian hills. The serene privacy of the setting is complemented by convenient road access and rapid connections to the region's primary art cities.
Interior Description:
The interiors of the main residence extend across generous, well-proportioned spaces encompassing 15 cadastral rooms, designed to function either as a grand single-family estate or to be easily partitioned into two independent living units.

Large panoramic windows visually merge the indoor ambiance with the surrounding gardens, delivering rare luminous clarity for traditional Tuscan stone homes. The villa hosts two fully appointed kitchens tailored for entertaining, alongside six large double bedrooms and six bathrooms refined with high-grade ceramics and regional travertine stone.

Local Real Estate Market:
The real estate market for prestigious country homes and stone farmhouses across the municipality of Montepulciano and along the scenic ridge leading to Cortona remains one of the most resilient and international segments in the province of Siena. According to data provided by the Real Estate Market Observatory (OMI) of the Italian Revenue Agency for rural and hillside sectors of Montepulciano, restored countryside properties typically trade between 2,200 €/sqm and 3,200 €/sqm, with premier panoramic estates featuring manicured grounds, cypress driveways, swimming pools, and guest annexes frequently fetching upwards of 3,800 €/sqm to 4,500 €/sqm. Compared to neighboring prime locations such as the Val d'Orcia (Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia, where top estates command 4,000 €/sqm to 5,500 €/sqm) and Cortona (ranging from 2,500 €/sqm to 4,200 €/sqm), Montepulciano stands out as a prime destination for overseas investors from North America and Northern Europe attracted by the world-renowned reputation of Vino Nobile.
Tourist and Historical Information:
Montepulciano, celebrated as the "Pearl of the Cinquecento", perches dramatically on a limestone ridge dividing the Val d'Orcia from the Val di Chiana, enjoying vistas that sweep from Mount Amiata across to Lake Trasimeno. The historic center represents a triumph of Renaissance architecture shaped by masters such as Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, Michelozzo, and Baldassarre Peruzzi: from Piazza Grande, crowned by the Palazzo Comunale and the Cathedral, through to monumental centuries-old wine cellars carved deep into the tuff stone where Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG ages gracefully. At the base of the hill stands the Temple of San Biagio, an acknowledged masterpiece of Greek-cross Renaissance architecture. The region is culturally animated year-round by events such as the historic Bravìo delle Botti barrel-racing contest in August, the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte music festival, and a culinary tradition rooted in Chianina beef, handmade pici pasta, and seasoned Pecorino di Pienza cheese. Its proximity to Cortona with its rich Etruscan museums, as well as the thermal spas of Chianciano, Bagno Vignoni, and San Casciano dei Bagni, makes this estate a premier hub for exploring Southern Tuscany.
