ITALY, TUSCANY, GROSSETO, MONTE ARGENTARIO
DRONE:
Just outside Porto Santo Stefano, in a panoramic position overlooking the Argentario sea, a luxury villa with garden.
The building (470 sqm) has been renovated by a local architect and has excellent finishes with a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
The garden and external terraces (approximately 2,500 sqm) are entirely fenced and feature a barbecue area overlooking the sea.
A 60 sqm garage and a 50 sqm outbuilding completes the property.
Amenities and services are all available in the town of Porto Santo Stefano which is close by.
The villa has two separate entrances. The first, located right along the road that leaves Porto Santo Stefano, leads to the large garage of the house (60 sqm). From here, passing through a multipurpose room with bathroom, you enter the lower floor of the villa. The first room you encounter is the large living room with an 18th-century marble fireplace. From here you move on to the dining room again with fireplace and, continuing along a corridor, you arrive at a dining room and the kitchen with fireplace and splendid vaulted ceiling.
All the rooms have large windows with views of the sea, and open onto the garden.
At the exit of the multipurpose room there is also the staircase that leads to the actual ground floor of the villa, where the second entrance is located which opens onto the garden of the villa. From this room, equipped with a wardrobe, you then move into a large study with fireplace and window overlooking the sea. Next to the study there is a laundry/ironing room, while continuing along the corridor you arrive at the first bedroom with private bathroom. The rooms are all bright due to large windows which overlook the sea on one side and the garden on the other.
Returning to the entrance, the staircase then goes up to the first floor where the sleeping area of the villa is located. From the hallway at the top of the staircase you enter on the left the master bedroom equipped with private bathroom, walk-in closet and wardrobe, while on the right you reach the second bedroom, smaller but also equipped with private bathroom and wardrobe, you also access a bedroom with provision for an additional bathroom.
The rooms on the first floor are illuminated by large electric skylights.
Separate from the house there is a spacious annex with bathroom and independent access from the property’s terraces.
History
Built initially as an annex of the imposing villa nearby, the house was renovated over twenty years to create an independent private residence, adapting the interior spaces to the new needs, transforming the building into a luxurious villa.
The facades facing the sea are all made of exposed stone, so that the villa integrates perfectly into the natural context of Monte Argentario, disappearing from view.
The main access to the villa, located just ahead of the one via the garage and closed by an iron gate, opens onto a square paved with travertine where several cars can easily be parked.
The external areas (approximately 2,500 sqm in total) are all marked by terraces that follow the slope. The largest flat parts are found all around the villa, particularly in the part facing the sea. On the east side of the villa there is a nice walled stone garden on which there are three large arched openings which frame romantic panoramic views with shrubs and bushes typical of the Mediterranean scrub.
On the opposite side there is a paved terrace overlooking the open sea complete with pergola, wood-burning oven and barbecue.
Electricity, phone and internet connected. Water – mains/city supply in addition to an artesian salt water well and water tank with 35,000 litres and pump, heating: oil.
It is possible to build a pool.
