Cozy vacation home on a farm, Bagno di Gavorrano, Tuscany | House in Bagno di Gavorrano

Description:
The idyllic holiday home Villa Ponderosa is located in the quiet agricultural area of the municipality of Bagno di Gavorrano, 8km from Follonica and the sea. The location on a hill offers a beautiful view of the plain of Follonica, the Tyrrhenian Sea and Elba Island in the background.
Dating back to the 70's, the house was completely renovated in 2018/19. It is located in the heart of the 32-hectare Monte Cerretelle farm, where olive oil is produced in advance and suckler cows are fed on pasture. One third of the area is covered by macchia, the typical Mediterranean mixed forest.
The house itself has 100 m2 of floor space, two spacious bedrooms with private terraces, a beautiful bathroom with natural light and a spacious kitchen. In front of the kitchen is a 30 m2 covered terrace overlooking the sea and the island of Elba. There is also an outside toilet with shower. The whole house is equipped with air conditioning.
The house is surrounded by olive groves and large, shady trees and is located in a 2000 m2 meadow.
Monte Cerretelle can be easily reached by car via a 1 km long, maintained natural road. Ample parking is available.
There are still two agricultural buildings on the farm. The holiday home itself is very quiet, the nearest neighbors are just over 500 meters away.
It is only 2-3 km to the motorway and the nearest shops and restaurants. And the best beaches of the Maremma and a beautiful lake are easily reached in 10-20 minutes by car.

• For nature lovers, the Parco Regionale della Maremma in Alberese is on the doorstep, which can be explored on foot, on horseback or on a bicycle. A little further away is the Monte Amiata, the highest mountain and the most important water reservoir of Tuscany or Saturnia with its famous thermal springs.

Do not forget that the entire Maremma coast is under protection and should not be built near the shore. On the one hand, this makes the coast so unique, but therefore there are not all the infrastructures everywhere. Typically, one goes on foot through the coastal forest to the sea, from 100-200 m, for example, in Follonica, up to 2 km on the Cala Violina.

From there it is only a few steps to the lake.
