1间卧室独栋房屋, 72 m²

Cortona, Arezzo (省)

A rare opportunity to own a private stone retreat set directly beneath the medieval Pierle Castle, in one of the most untouched and peaceful valleys on the Tuscan–Umbrian border.
This is not a conventional family home, but a place of silence, views, and simplicity — ideal as a second residence, creative retreat, or private escape from city life.
Surrounded by olive trees, orchards, and open countryside, the property offers a unique sense of privacy and connection to nature, just a short drive from Cortona and key Tuscan destinations.
A setting few properties can offer
???? the house
The house sits in an exceptional position directly below Pierle Castle, with wide, open views across a green valley that remains largely unspoiled and quiet throughout the year.
This is an area known for its authenticity, landscape integrity, and lack of mass tourism — a rare combination in central Italy today.
The property consists of a traditional stone house with a cadastral surface of approximately 72 sqm, arranged over two independent levels.
Rather than a conventional internal layout, the home is structured as two distinct spaces, creating a natural sense of separation and flexibility within a compact footprint.
This configuration allows the property to be used in multiple ways — as a guest arrangement, a creative workspace, or a private retreat divided into different living atmospheres.
The interiors are simple, authentic, and immediately usable, offering a solid and characterful base for personal interpretation without losing their traditional identity.
???? land and outdoor living
The property is surrounded by private land with olive trees and fruit trees, offering both privacy and direct engagement with the landscape.
The outdoor space is one of the defining features of the property, with open views towards the valley and the castle above.
There is potential for enhancing outdoor living areas, including terraces or a small pool, subject to planning permissions.
✨ lifestyle
This property is best understood as a private retreat rather than a conventional home.
It is ideal for:
a weekend escape from city life
a creative or writing retreat
a second home in Italy for extended stays
a simple base to explore Tuscany and Umbria
It will particularly appeal to buyers who value atmosphere, landscape, and authenticity over internal size or formal layout.
 ????location
The house is located beneath Pierle Castle in a quiet rural area on the border between Tuscany and Umbria.
The surrounding landscape is characterised by rolling hills, forests, and small historic villages, with Cortona and other cultural centres within easy reach. Despite its accessibility, the immediate area remains peaceful and largely untouched by mass tourism.
????Properties in this specific location are rarely available, particularly at this price level.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a small but distinctive retreat in one of central Italy’s most atmospheric rural settings — a place defined by its silence, views, and sense of timelessness.
