This property is a typical Tuscan property, a 2-storey country house with a large terrace and unique position on a Tuscan hill, thus offering the best views over the countryside. The house consists of a first floor and an upper floor. Year of construction approx. 1966 It includes an olive grove, a vineyard, woodland and arable land as well as pasture land. Here the advantage of the land outweighs the house itself. The house is in need of renovation, but can also be used immediately as it is.
This country house is situated alone without direct neighbors on a hill in the green zone of Marsiliana belonging to Massa Marittima. Here you will find all services such as shopping, pharmacy, supermarket, hospital, doctor, stores and much more. The medieval town of Massa Marittima is a 7-minute drive from the house and is situated at an altitude of 380 m on a hill above the Maremma plain in the Colline Metallifere. The Italian municipality is located around 85 km southwest of the regional capital Florence, 37 km northwest of the provincial capital Grosseto and 46 km southwest of Siena. The river Bruna rises in the southern part of the municipality and the river Pecora in the west. Other important bodies of water in the municipal area are the Torrenti Carsia (10 of 17 km in the municipal area), Ritorto (16 of 19 km in the municipal area) and Zanca (12 of 15 km in the municipal area). The area around Massa Marittima - although not the hill itself - was already inhabited in Etruscan and Roman times. The mineral resources of the Colline Metallifere hills to the north (copper, silver, iron ore) were already being mined in ancient times. Places of interest

After the conquest of the city-state in 1335, the Sienese fortified Massa Marittima. The massive square fortified tower (Torre del Candeliere), which already existed under the Massetans, was connected to the new bastions by a 22-metre Gothic arch (the so-called Arco Senese). The fortress - unless it was demolished by the Habsburgs in the 18th/19th century - is accessible; the tower can be climbed and offers a sweeping view over the city.
