This wonderful property is the culmination of several hundred years of endeavour by local farming families to create a habitable and defensive position for themselves and their animals. The buildings which cling to naturally occurring outcrops of rock are built in the typical country style onto, above, below and beside their neighbours, giving, from a short distance, a delightful juxtaposition of roof levels and lines.

Because of the proximity to the internationally known Etruscan and artistic centre of Cortona, in Tuscany, the property would lend itself for use as holiday accommodation either for those seeking spiritual retreat or those wishing to immerse themselves in the artistic and architectural ambience of the surrounding area. The grounds include walnut and fig trees, blackberries and grapes as well as a natural spring.

The choice of units, and their sizes, will be adjustable, at the wish of the client, until eventual finalisation of contracts.

The properties are to be fully restored and will be brought up to the highest northern European standard. The final finish, fixtures and decoration will be of excellent quality and prices will include, externally, landscaping, car parking areas, tennis court and swimming pools. A management company will be appointed to take on the maintenance of the communal landscaping, car parking areas, tennis court and swimming pools and access to 40.000 metres of parkland.

Currently, October 2006, the square meter price is € 3.500 per square meter and this pricing arrangement gives prospective buyers the opportunity to buy at a discounted price whilst work is being undertaken. The discounts will be reduced by € 250 per square meter each quarter until the eventual price of € 5,000 per square meter is achieved for the final completed units in a landscaped site. The opportunity to purchase now at a heavily discounted rate should not be easily ignored. A 25% deposit is required and 24 monthly equal payment are to be made as building work progresses.

Other large estates and smaller properties restored by the seller are excellent examples of workmanship, craftsmanship and materials and should be viewed to appreciate the potential of this development.
