There is a loggia, ten minutes from the sea at Castiglione della Pescaia, where time slows down: nothing in front of you but olive trees, a vineyard and a wooded hill. It is the heart of this semi-detached home, 130 sqm in total on two levels, in the countryside of the Tuscan Maremma, province of Grosseto: private entrance, ready to move into, waiting to become your home or your retreat near the sea.

The loggia, your extra room

Forty square metres, covered and open to the greenery: this is where you have breakfast, eat lunch all summer and wait for the sunset with a glass in your hand. The loggia leads straight into the house, and the view follows you from the kitchen window and from the bedroom balcony.

Inside: the fireplace and the table

The eat-in kitchen, fitted and equipped, is the room where everyone gathers: a large table, a sofa and a stone fireplace for winter evenings. The house also has a double bedroom with a 10 sqm balcony, a study and a bathroom with a bathtub and a window onto the green. It is sold partly furnished: you walk in and start living.

Downstairs, plenty of extra space

On the lower level, with direct access from the garden, there is a large storage room with exposed tuff-stone walls, currently set up for dinners with friends, with a second WC and a cellar. In front, a porch for sitting in the shade. Next to it, a room with a vehicle door, handy for keeping the car under cover, and outside there is space to park five more. Plus a 60 sqm attic.

Garden, olive trees and your own oil

Around the house, about 300 sqm of garden and 1,140 sqm of land with fifteen olive trees: enough for a family supply of olive oil. The garden is already alive, with rosemary, prickly pears and a pomegranate tree.

Comfort and location

Independent LPG heating with radiators, wooden double-glazed windows. The house is vacant on completion. Castiglione della Pescaia, with its beaches, harbour, restaurants and all services, is a ten-minute drive away; cafés and public transport are close by. Ideal as a holiday home, a first home in the countryside or a permanent base in the Maremma.
