The Ancient Watch Tower in Asciano, Siena, Tuscany
Hilly panoramic position in the heart of the Crete Senesi, derelict XVIII century farmhouse to be converted into a luxury villa for sale in Asciano. This stone and terracotta 600 sq mt gem stands on a hill with a spectacular view from Pratomagno to Amiata, which can be reached from a private ridge road in the famous Crete Senesi. Initially built for peasant use on the remains of an ancient watchtower of a nearby castle, then abandoned to the wear of time for an extended period, the building still retains suggestive traces of its history: a partially plastered façade and, inside, a magnificent brick arch and a fireplace; not far away, a rainwater collection pond. The property is willing to cede more significant portions of pasture land surrounding, thus obtaining the opportunity to create a truly private refuge. The utilities connections are approximately 1 km away along the access road. Thanks to its enviable position and its generous dimensions, the Antica Torre di Guardia is a property to dream of and convert into a country residence with fine finishes, a swimming pool, home automation, and all the comforts one could wish for in one of the most exclusive destination in the world.
