The Eclipse of Time: Where the 1600s Meet the Soul of Tuscany
There are places where time does not pass, but stands still. Imagine leaving the paved road and venturing a mile down a dirt road, that ribbon of gravel that in Tuscany is the prelude to the most authentic dreams. As the dust settles, the noise of the world fades away, replaced by the rustling of 250 olive trees and the scent of the coppice.
Here, in the heart of Santa Luce, stands a stone sentinel that has watched over the valley since the 1600s. It is not just a farmhouse; it is a piece of Tuscan history that has evolved over time, embracing modern comforts without ever losing its ancient spirit.
A Haven of Light and Stone
Stepping through the threshold of this 250-square-meter home means entering a world of warmth and elegance. The triple-height living room on the ground floor is the stage for family life: the original terracotta floors echo centuries of footsteps, while the exposed beams frame moments of pure relaxation in front of the grand fireplace. Whether it’s an evening of games, a formal dinner, or an afternoon of reading in the dedicated corner, every space is imbued with a unique atmosphere.
The rustic kitchen, with its second fireplace, evokes the flavors of days gone by, while the winter garden—adorned with Vietri ceramics and wrought iron—is the perfect place to watch nature change, sheltered and bathed in light. On the ground floor, practicality has not been overlooked: a convenient guest bathroom and a dedicated laundry room ensure the home runs smoothly.
The Rest of the Gods
As you ascend to the first floor, the sleeping area unfolds like a sanctuary of tranquility. Four spacious bedrooms bathe in the golden light of Tuscan sunsets. Here you’ll find two elegant bathrooms: a master bathroom, designed as a suite with an en-suite bathroom for maximum privacy, and a second bathroom serving the floor, both finished to offer an experience of absolute well-being.
The Charm of the Outdoors: Between Blue and Green
The 1,000-square-meter garden is an oasis of privacy, but not of isolation. Located in a small, exclusive hamlet with just two discreet neighbors, the farmhouse offers the security of a community and the freedom of a private realm.
The oval-shaped pool (10×3.5 meters) is the jewel of the property: swimming while gazing at the romantic silhouette of the village of Santa Luce silhouetted against the horizon is a privilege reserved for few. Amid tall trees, shaded play areas, and a dining area with a built-in barbecue, every summer will become an unforgettable memory. The property is complemented by 3 hectares of land featuring a lush olive grove, ready to provide you with your own extra virgin olive oil.
