6 bedroom villa

This wonderfully located property is one of the most important houses in the gated residence, Le Cannelle, in one of the most exclusive areas of the natural park on the coast of the Monte Argentario. This area has been protected from any form of further construction since 1980 and only a limited number of beachfront villas were built during the 1970s, including this one.
This is one of the largest villas in the area with land around it leading down to the sea. The property benefits from open sea views towards the small island of Giannutri and the larger island of Giglio to the north.
In the nearby surroundings, there are numerous fortresses and ancient towers and three historic fishing villages: Porto Ercole, Porto Santo Stefano and Orbetello, while the marina, tennis and golf clubs are within easy reach. The nearby Maremma area offers excellent food and wines as well as several Etruscan sites.
Facing south west, this panoramic villa is set over 5 levels and is currently divided into three independent units that can be joined together to become one main property if required. All the main rooms have a sea view.
Main apartment ( approx. 300 sq m), consists of entrance hall, a large, light and airy living room with an arched window with a magnificent sea view, a lower dining area with door to a protected dining terrace, a study, a WC and a kitchen.
Stairs from the living room lead up to the second level where there is a further entrance door from the lift level, a master suite with bedroom and a wonderful terrace, dressing room and bathroom. Stairs down from the dining area lead to six rooms and three bathrooms; some rooms used as bedrooms and others as studies/playrooms and a kitchen area. From this level, the bedrooms have access to a spectacular terrace (approx. 300 sq m) over-looking the sea with a covered pergola area.
The main house has a large, covered parking area for several cars and there is a lift built in the style of an ancient tower leading directly down to the entrance of the villa.
There are two adjacent apartments with independent driveway and entrances, on a lower ground floor, below the large terrace. These apartments of a total of approx. 170 sqm, which could be used for staff or guests, are arranged on two levels. Apt.1 (70 sqm) has two rooms and a bathroom; Apt.2 has three rooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room and each has lower rooms which can be further accommodation. There is an adjacent room with WC and shower which is used as a changing room and for storing beach equipment.
These apartments can be reached from a secondary access road with parking spaces nearby. The surrounding garden area is terraced and the property has private access to the sea and two stony bays below. The property is supplied with fresh water from the Cannelle springs and the aqueduct is in a condominium arrangement. A large communal swimming pool is available for use with membership.
The house is built on rock at the base of the mountain and the entire seafront side has been consolidated. The property has good security and privacy provided by the electric gates.
Terraced space adjacent to one of the apartments could accommodate a private pool for which preliminary plans have been drawn up.
All the wiring, electricity and central heating systems need replacing and the property requires significant renovation.
