OVERVIEW

A rare opportunity to buy an exclusive unique villa designed during 1960s by a well- known Tuscan -Florentine architect. The villa style reminds us of the “organic architecture”, term coined by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world. As well as the Falling-water, the residence Wright designed and built directly over the waterfall, Villa Sassobianco has been built in perfect correspondence with surrounding environment. The villa is on 4 levels arranged over 4 terraced gardens creating a perfect blending between nature and architecture. The property features stone walls, huge terraces and various big windows and doors opening on to panoramic outside spaces that benefit from spectacular views across the seaside and the hills. Its interior design has been carefully planned to create an ideal blending of internal and external elements, like the choice of using the same flooring both in the living rooms and in the terraces or the internal stone walls that match with stone patios outside. This magnificent property is surrounded by extensive terraced gardens extending up to 16.000 sq m (4 acres), which include 100 olive trees, where it is possible to build a large swimming pool. The villa measures approx. 840 sq m and has its accommodation arranged on 4 levels. On the lower level is the staff's apartment/quarters comprising kitchen, living room, bathroom, 2 bedrooms, utility room and garage. The upper levels consists of 3 living rooms (one living room on each floor), a fully equipped kitchen, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Each floor features large windows and doors opening on to garden and terraces, ideal spaces where having “al-fresco” dining with family and friends or relaxing under the Tuscan sun enjoying the panorama
