Casale dei Cipressi — A Historic Tuscan Sanctuary with Iconic Cypress Avenue
Just a few minutes from the Renaissance jewel of Cortona, hidden among the soft rolling hills of Tuscany, Casale dei Cipressi is a rare historic estate that embodies the timeless poetry of the Italian countryside. The property sits in an extraordinarily panoramic and peaceful position, surrounded by open sky, silence, and the deep green tones that define the Tuscan landscape.
The arrival is unforgettable and deeply emotional: a magnificent avenue of centuries-old cypress trees — truly Tuscan in spirit and beauty — forms a grand natural corridor leading to the farmhouse. Perfectly aligned and majestic, this cypress road creates an entrance of cinematic elegance, the kind seen in paintings and classic Italian films. It immediately conveys a sense of history, privacy, and arrival into a private world.
Dating back to the 1300s, the farmhouse is entirely built in original stone and has been carefully restored to preserve its soul while offering generous and flexible living spaces. The estate is currently arranged into three independent apartments, ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or hospitality use, yet they can easily be reconnected to create a single prestigious residence.
In total, the property (704 mq) offers:
11 bedrooms
11 bathrooms
4 kitchens
4 living rooms
an elegant dressing antechamber
external understairs storage
two additional storage rooms
The interiors express authentic Tuscan character: exposed wooden beams, stone textures, warm natural light, and views that frame the countryside like living paintings.
The land extends across approximately 4 hectares, forming a private natural park around the house. Two hectares are oak woodland, providing shade and ecological richness. Wide meadow areas open around the estate, planted with a remarkable variety of fruit trees: apples, pears, cherries, figs, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, alongside mature plane trees and oaks that give depth and grandeur to the landscape. Approximately 238 olive trees complete the agricultural setting, offering the possibility of producing your own olive oil — a true Tuscan privilege.
At the heart of the garden lies a spectacular panoramic swimming pool measuring 15 x 7 meters (depth from 1.2 to 2 meters), positioned to capture sunsets over the valley. Beside it, a romantic pergola draped in blooming wisteria creates a shaded sanctuary for long summer lunches and golden evenings. A covered pergola parking area for seven cars, also adorned with wisteria, blends functionality with elegance and botanical beauty.
Every corner of the estate is infused with harmony: the scent of cypress and olive trees, the slow rhythm of nature, and the architectural dignity of a 14th-century residence. Despite its serene seclusion, the property remains minutes from Cortona’s restaurants, culture, and services — an ideal balance between privacy and accessibility.
Casale dei Cipressi is not simply a property; it is an experience of Tuscany in its purest and most romantic form — a living estate where history, landscape, and architecture meet in perfect equilibrium.
