Restored farmhouse for sale in the Val d'Orcia
SI, Toscana, Italy
REF: 152394
€680,000
Description
The farmhouse, wisely restored in 2013, is surrounded by a wonderful private garden and about 1 hectare of land with 60 walnut trees and a charming shady tree-lined path. The house is built on two levels: at the ground floor there is one bedroom with marble fireplace stove overlooking an amazing natural glimpse, with external access on the private garden, besides there are two bathrooms, a studio and a room meant for spare time, with large windows and garden access, while at the first floor, also reachable through an external staircase, there is a spacious dining area with kitchenette and one bedroom with en-suite bathroom. From this room we can also access a lovely and cozy terrace. The house preserves the typical Tuscan features and materials of the traditional farmhouse, with exposed wooden beams, bricked arches, 'cotto' floorings and stone walls, while the restoration added precious materials such as Lebanon cedar and Sequoia wood. The underfloor radiant heating system has already been set, as well as the air conditioning system, besides there is a 5kw photovoltaic system ready to be connected. The house was restored according the most innovative green building techniques: active breathing walls and roof perfectly insulated with Permatex, cork and pumice walls, all materials meant to create a healthy environment but also respectful of the main features of the Tuscan farmhouses. The location of this real estate is excellent because it offers maximum privacy though it is located only a few kilometres away from the main services and from the most famous town centres of this area. It represents an amazing opportunity for an investment but also an interesting property for a rentals activity or even a B&B.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £17,544 more.
