In the unspoilt countryside of eastern Tuscany, just moments from the border with Umbria, this farmhouse occupies a wonderfully private hillside setting surrounded by woodland, olive groves and the timeless landscapes of Central Italy.
Located in the area of Santa Maria La Rassinata, in the province of Arezzo, the property enjoys a particularly appealing position between two of Italy's most celebrated regions. From here, the landscapes, historic towns and culinary traditions of both Tuscany and Umbria are within easy reach, making the estate an exceptional base from which to discover this fascinating part of Italy.
Reached along approximately 800 metres of white road, the house is immersed in nature and enjoys a remarkable sense of peace and seclusion. Its elevated setting opens onto the surrounding hills and countryside, offering the privacy of a rural retreat without being isolated from the cultural destinations of the region.
The main residence extends to approximately 180 sqm over two floors, with an additional 50 sqm of outbuildings, all surrounded by approximately 3 hectares of private land. Part of the estate is dedicated to an olive grove with around 130 productive olive trees, reinforcing the property's authentic connection with the Tuscan landscape.
The interiors retain the warm character of a traditional country house, with exposed timber beams, natural stone, terracotta details and original rustic features. The living accommodation includes a characterful kitchen with fireplace, two welcoming reception rooms and three double bedrooms, with windows framing peaceful views of the surrounding greenery.
Outdoor living is central to the property. A panoramic patio with Jacuzzi provides a secluded place to relax throughout the warmer months, while another part of the grounds offers the potential for the creation of a swimming pool with countryside views, subject to the necessary permissions.
The estate also preserves a number of traditional rural features, including a wood-fired oven and a private well used for irrigation, details that give the property a genuine sense of history and place.
A separate outbuilding provides further possibilities and could lend itself, subject to planning approval, to the creation of an independent guest cottage, studio, home office or private atelier.
What makes Casale di Patri particularly special is its location. Although officially in Tuscany, the property lies close to the Tuscan–Umbrian border, allowing its owners to experience the best of both regions. Medieval hill towns such as Monte Santa Maria Tiberina and Citerna are within the wider area, while Cortona, Anghiari and Arezzo provide art, architecture, restaurants and everyday services. The location also offers convenient access towards Perugia and the Umbrian countryside.
This is a property for those seeking more than a conventional country house: a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, with authentic architecture, land and privacy, positioned at the crossroads of Tuscany and Umbria and perfectly placed to enjoy the culture, landscape and lifestyle of both.
