Originally a grain mill, dating back to 1606, this building has been totally converted to create a beautiful home. Externally, the property still looks like something out of a fairy tale with its picturesque little arched bridge and original water flow channels. Set in a valley and surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees and woodlands, it is a very peaceful and private position. Shops and restaurants are nearby at approximately 1.5 kms, while the town of Montalcino, famous for its Brunello wine and olive oil, is just 9 kms away. The property is reached by an unsealed driveway, leading to a parking area.
Within the grounds on a higher level, just to the rear of the house, is a private swimming pool (10 x 7m), while just off the kitchen, is a lovely covered terrace with dining area and barbecue.
Inside, the rooms are typically Tuscan in style with exposed beamed ceilings, cotto floors and either white-washed or exposed stone walls. The spacious living/dining room is divided by columns and there is a glass inset in the living room floor where the original mill flow stream can be seen. It has been furnished throughout to a high standard and amenities include a telephone/fax, satellite television and stereo CD player. Gas central heating and firewood are included during the winter months. The owner would prefer no children under the age of 10 years (except babies). A baby cot is available.
