Description
Villa della Sofora, built in the early 1900s, is a refined example of a Tuscan-style manor house. Nestled in the rolling hills that border Umbria and Tuscany, the property is perfectly situated close to Chiusi, Montepulciano, and Castiglione del Lago.

Structure and Restorations:
The villa is arranged over two main floors plus an attic, which is divided into four rooms tall enough to convert into living spaces. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room, a study, and a tavern, while the first floor features four bedrooms. The main building's facade has been carefully restored to its original splendor, preserving its architectural details.

The adjacent annex, a two-story rectangular structure, has undergone partial restoration, including work on the foundations, roof, and exterior walls. The proximity of the main building and the annex allows for interior expansions without altering the overall external appearance.

Garden and Grounds:
The property is set within a park of over 5000 sqm, enriched by mature trees and two remarkable Japanese pagoda trees (Sophora japonica), one of which stands out for its size and beauty. Most of the land is currently devoted to olive cultivation, while a portion is buildable, offering the potential for 2,600 cubic meters of additional construction.

Location and Amenities:
Villa della Sofora sits atop a hill between Lake Montepulciano and Lake Chiusi, just 1 km from the nearest village. The strategic location places the Chiusi train station and the A1 highway exit within 10 km, while Lake Trasimeno and Castiglione del Lago are about 12 km away.

The surrounding region is renowned for its traditional lake fish cuisine, featuring dishes such as Tegamaccio and Brustico, the latter of Etruscan origin and available only in this area. The nearby “Della Grande Bonifica” cycling and walking trail offers a haven for hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, and birdwatching enthusiasts.
