 In the Chiana Valley, everywhere you look at, you can see, even in the distance, typical houses of the 18th Century: the Leopoldine. The name is taken from their creator, the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo II di Lorena.
The houses of farmers were not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous and unhealthy.
The Grand Duke himself ordered an investigation to verify whether the houses were ventilated, sheltered from chill and rain. The results showed that in many cases people lived among animals, and were therefore exposed to illnesses and infections.
This is why he decided to invest some money to build new colonicas, all with the same aspect. What was different was just size and sometimes disposition.
A typical feature of the Leopoldina was the “colombaia”, where farmers used to store their small tools.
And it is in the heart of Valdichiana, at the feet of the stunning Cortona, that lies, totally surrounded by a sprawl of sunflowers and wheat, a characteristic rural borgo, recognized by the provincial authority as one of the most beautiful constructions of 18th Century, built by the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
The property is composed by a main central building (The Leopoldina) and many annexes that can be moved or restored for a total surface of 3300 square metres.
The buildings are set in a plot of 22000 square metres of agricultural land, currently being divided into several units.
The restoration of this estate could be made according to any kind of aim you might have.
The open position, well exposed to the sun and with 360 ° view makes the property suitable to become a luxury private hideaway, a rental business, holiday home and also a spa.
