This enchanting residence is immersed in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, in Tuscany. Founded in 1567 as a Franciscan convent, it served as a farmhouse within the “La Foce” estate owned by the Marchesi Origo before being masterfully restored by a renowned Italian architect; it is now a residence of art.
The location offers one of the most iconic landscapes in Tuscany, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia Natural Park – a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The property enjoys a beautiful, open panorama of the surrounding hills, with views of the Torre Tarugi (12th century) and the major medieval villages in the area, including Pienza, Radicofani, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montalcino, and the Monte Amiata nature area.
This location offers extraordinary environmental quality and very low light pollution, ideal for admiring starry skies that enchant the soul. Throughout the year, the landscape transforms into a sequence of natural scenes, with colors and shades that change with the rhythm of the seasons: from intense spring greens to golden summer tones, and finally to warm autumn hues.
The property’s location is private yet accessible at any time of the year, via only 700 meters of unpaved road.
INTERIOR SPACES
This property is an ancient stone farmhouse set over two levels, spanning a cadastral surface area of approximately 600 sqm. The structure can accommodate 16 people, suitable for both private use and tourist-hospitality use, as well as being a venue particularly well-suited for organizing events and receptions.
On the ground floor, the heart of the house is represented by the main masonry kitchen with a pantry and a refined dining room separated by a brick round arch. Two adjoining lounges connected by wood paneling and featuring a beautiful fireplace offer spaces of absolute comfort. Also on this floor are four bedrooms served by private bathrooms.
The first floor, accessible via both an internal staircase and two external staircases (one with a loggia and one with a terrace), houses a second kitchen and an evocative library-lounge with a fireplace. On the same floor, there are four additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an elegant dressing room.
The property also includes a large underground covered garage with a toilet, measuring 210 sqm, and an ancient agricultural silo transformed into an industrial laundry room.
The property underwent its first refined conservative restoration in the mid-1990s and is in excellent condition today, having been maintained over time with great love and passion. The architectural design, characterized by an elegant rectangular body in stone and exposed brick—sourced from the historic Fabbrica di Santa Maria della Scala in Siena—opens onto two evocative internal courtyards, harmoniously articulated and connected by scenic round arches that lead to the main entrance of the farmhouse. The roof, covered in tiles, completes the traditional Tuscan aesthetic.
GROUNDS AND EXTERIORS
The outdoor spaces are designed for a life of conviviality: a courtyard with a portico adjacent to the kitchen, featuring an outdoor fireplace and an ancient bread oven, is the perfect place for sharing lunches and dinners al fresco. The marvelous pool area includes two pergolas shading an elegant 12×6 meter biodynamic infinity pool, which is heated and finished in travertine/cement. There is also a 3×3 meter travertine hot tub with a panoramic view over the entire valley. The farmhouse is set within a 15,000 sqm park that harmoniously incorporates fruit trees, olive trees, a vineyard, and lavender, as well as groves and rows of oaks, holm oaks, pines, and cypresses. Additionally, there is a fabulous 6,000 sqm English-style lawn with an irrigation system, a 100 sqm vegetable garden with dry-stone walls (hortus conclusus), a cypress grove, and a large outdoor parking area for 60 cars.
The property also includes an additional 12 hectares of arable agricultural land located in front of the estate.
UTILITIES
The property is equipped with all utilities: 30 kWh electrical connection, water supply guaranteed by the public aqueduct water extraction rights from an external pond for irrigation, LPG heating system, telephone line / ADSL – WIFI with satellite dish, automatic gate with video intercom, LPG-heated pool, and an automatic retractable irrigation system divided into 9 sectors. It features a perimeter alarm system with internal sensors. The property is equipped with an electric perimeter fence to deter wild animals. All electrical, telephone, and water service lines have been buried underground to ensure a better visual/environmental impact.
CURRENT MANAGEMENT AND POTENTIAL USE
Today, the residence is experienced as a refined private historical-artistic home and, in part, as an exclusive location for events, film sets, and weddings, expressing high potential for further development. The property would be well-suited for use as a primary residence or a prestigious second home, with the possibility of being included in international tourist rental circuits during periods of non-use. Furthermore, the morphology and size of the land offer ideal conditions for the development of potential agricultural and equestrian activities. This extraordinary property is not only a prestigious residence but also a true filmmaker’s set, capable of captivating directors and international-level productions. Its unique atmospheres have provided the backdrop for masterpieces of cinema and television, including Marco Tullio Giordana’s The Best of Youth, Sergio Castellitto’s Don’t Move (original title: Non ti muovere), Marco Filiberti’s Cain and Parsifal, and even the famous HBO series Succession. Dimora Buonriposo is an unrepeatable investment opportunity, ideal for clients who value history, culture, and the exclusivity of owning a timeless property.
RESTYLING PROJECTS are available at the agency, with the possibility of customization based on any need.
