Use and Potential Uses The extremely scenic ‘la dimora dei romani’ farmhouse, although located in a tranquil area, is still close to all amenities, and would be perfect as a main residence.

Location Sarteano is a town of historic importance and outstanding natural beauty which is located in the foothills of the Val d´Orcia in a plateau on the Val di Chiana border. The town´s medieval past can be seen by its castle, which is the main feature of Sarteano’s architectural landscape as well as its many churches. It has a diverse economy mainly based on agriculture and tourism with products of olive oil, wine and wheat. The museum, which is located in the sixteenth century Palazzo Gabrielli, is only a short walk from the main square and is home to finds from the numerous Etruscan cemeteries of the area ranging from the ninth to the first century B.C. Of particular interest are the canopic ossuaries of the oriental period, specifically, the reconstruction of the Macchiapiana tomb chamber with double burial with a depiction of a canopic female on the throne with an axe as a sign of power. The relatively mild climate and proximity to cities such as Siena, Perugia and Arezzo makes Sarteano a good location at any time of year. It is easily accessible by car or train, given its proximity to the A1 Chiusi-Chianciano Terme motorway exit and Chiusi train station. Land registry details The property has been registered with the land registry in the municipality of Sarteano. Ownership details and eventual contractual obligations A private individual owns the property, and therefore in the case of a sale, is subject to a property registration tax of 2% on the registered land value if purchased as a main residence or 9% on the cadastral land value if purchased as a second home.
