Farmhouse with outdoor staircase and Arno views in Troghi

This is the Tuscan farmhouse as you picture it: exposed brick, green shutters, an outdoor stone staircase rising to the main floor and cypresses guarding the garden. Restored in 2012, it keeps its arched portico and terracotta floors.

The ground floor, once the stables, is now a 50 m² living room with brick arches and fireplace, a kitchen with bespoke units and direct access to the garden, a bathroom and the cellar. The first floor, also reached by an inner staircase, has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a freestanding bath beneath the window.

The 8,000 m² of land includes the formal garden in front of the house and an olive grove of around 80 trees. On summer evenings, from the main bedroom, the sun sets behind the hills across the Arno valley.

Troghi, with its school and shops, is five minutes away; Florence 25 minutes via the Incisa or Firenze Sud junctions.
