Description

The square and massive structure, the turret with dovecote, the courtyard with stone annex surrounded by the Tuscan countryside with its fields and hills. These are the distinctive features of the so-called Leopoldian villas: country houses built in the 1700's by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena, which have become a symbol of an elegant rural style full of charm.

This model, unique in the world, inspired La Leopoldina, a country house built in 2009, reproducing the stylistic features of ancient farms of the time, but using contemporary materials and technologies. Just take the short stretch of dirt road dotted with cypresses to enter a dreamlike atmosphere: a garden with lawn of almost 5,000 sqm which frames the house, a small outbuilding with a wood-burning oven and a porch as well as a beautiful swimming pool with terracotta solarium where you can wait for the sun to disappear behind the hill, coloring the water with its flaming sunset.

The large living area on the ground floor houses a living room with a monumental fireplace and an enormous chandelier that descends from the 7-meter high ceiling. Connected to the living room and overlooking the garden, there is a large dining room, perfect for gathering around ten people for lunch, which leads to the country-style built-in kitchen.

On the ground floor there is also a double bedroom with French doors to the garden and private bathroom. A staircase with wrought iron handrail with minimal and elegant lines connects with the upper floor which houses the 3 bedrooms all equipped with bathroom and fireplace, perfect for creating a magical atmosphere in winter and especially during the holidays.

Going up a spiral staircase you finally arrive at the windowed turret: it is the Colombaia, a sitting room at the highest point of the house where you can spend relaxing moments in total privacy. Outside, in the garden, the tool shed serves as a warehouse, while on the porch there is a barbecue with oven where you can prepare food for your guests and serve it in the shade of the patio.

The garden furniture is full of elements that allow you to take advantage of the outdoors in a perfect way: tables, chairs and sofas in wrought iron under the pergola leaning against the wall create a dining and lounge corner that can be used from sunrise to sunset. The sunbeds, the deck chairs and the gazebo on the edge of the delightful infinity pool of 15 x 5 meters make the experience in this environment an all inclusive pleasure.

Coordinated with everything, even a shaded car park with three parking spaces, with a wooden structure. Every finish of this villa is treated to perfection, from the oval shape of the windows on the first floor to the wrought iron details of the stairs and chandeliers, but its elegance is not without amazement: in a corner of the garden a small hill has been created with para sun, where you can enjoy a moment of "escape" surrounded by greenery, alone or in company.

Scattered in strategic or panoramic points, the rural villas, designed for a more rational management of agricultural activity, are today oases of peace and beauty, where you can spend memorable summers or settle down with your family on a permanent basis. Being able to reach the city in about an hour, they allow you to experience a bucolic and an urban dimension at the same time, without losing the tranquility of one and the dynamism of the other.

For this reason they are ideal for a holiday home for your family, but also to be used as accommodation business, as is currently the case for this villa and with excellent results: from here you can start to visit the cities of art during the day, to then return in the evening to your own paradise "with a view." Underfloor heating and cooling system is guaranteed by heat pumps.

The villa was built from scratch in 2009 using high quality standards both internally and externally, such as the garden and swimming pool. The maintenance and attention to detail make this property truly fascinating. The property lends itself to being an elegant and charming villa where you can spend unique moments with family and friends, but it can also be used as an income in the tourist rental circuit with excellent results.

In fact, the villa is currently rented out on a weekly basis. The villa is located on the hills around Peccioli and enjoys absolute privacy. The municipality of Peccioli, in addition to being a very virtuous municipality and well disposed towards the tourist development of the area, is strategically advantageous for reaching numerous points of interest and is well served by the road network.

The Great Estate group carries out a technical due diligence on each property acquired through the seller's technician, which allows us to know in detail the urban and cadastral status of the property. This due diligence may be requested by the client at the time of a real interest in the property. The property is registered to an individual/s and the sale will be subject to registration tax according to current regulations (see private purchase costs).

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in Italy do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The property buying process in Italy takes time; it could be up to six months between seeing the property of your dreams and actually taking ownership. So how much would this €2,000,000 property cost you?

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 £51,700 more.
