SCOPETINO:Tradition and Innovation in the Heart of TuscanyThe house is located in the heart of Tuscany, offering privileged access to its natural and cultural treasures. Scopetino is a one-of-a-kind countryside residence. This 230-year-old home has been enhanced by a visionary restoration that preserves its historic soul while seamlessly incorporating fine materials and cutting-edge technologies. A unique masterpiece where the beauty of the past and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony.
What Makes Scopetino Truly UniqueBetween 2012 and 2014, a careful restoration transformed this house into a jewel, highlighting its history through meticulous intervention:
- The original structural walls, still in excellent condition, were preserved and internally insulated with 12 cm of cork to ensure breathability and comfort.
- The roof, floors, and entire internal layout were completely rebuilt and redesigned with striking details, including the addition of a modern elevator connecting the two floors, making every space easily accessible.
- The guesthouse, once a barn, was rebuilt with steel, bricks, and clad in local stone. The land surrounding the property was enhanced with over 100 meters of retaining walls.
- A standout feature is the stunning pool, entirely clad in travertine, creating uniquely clear water reflections. The pool’s water is sanitized through an advanced oxygen system and features an automatic cover. A private well supplies both the pool and the garden’s irrigation systems.
Finest Materials, Uncompromising ChoicesAt Scopetino, every material tells a story, and every choice reflects a commitment to creating a lasting, inimitable masterpiece:
- Handmade terracotta floors, oak parquet, and travertine bathrooms sourced from local quarries.
- Windows, external stairs, and fireplaces made of pietra serena, complemented by hand-cast bronze details, such as the door handles.
- The three Vaselli kitchens, authentic artisanal masterpieces, feature surfaces made of travertine and brass-a bold and refined combination.
- Unique furnishings, like the large antique oak dining table and another large outdoor table with hand-painted ceramic, make each space personal and exclusive.
Innovation and Comfort: The Technological SoulBehind its traditional façade, Scopetino is a modern and smart home, where the neologism “TeknoEmotion” could describe the union of technology and comfort. The
OBC system (Open Building Control) manages every aspect of the house:
- Climate Control: Underfloor heating and cooling with electric heat pumps powered by solar panels.
- Home Automation: Lighting, irrigation, pool, and temperature control are all remotely manageable.
- LAN/WLAN Connectivity: Fast internet access is guaranteed in every corner of the house and garden.
- Scopitino has been designed to simplify everyday life, with advanced technologies that improve comfort without adding complexity.
The Taste of Tradition: Fine Wine and Olive OilThe Scopitino estate includes a
one-hectare vineyard planted with Sangiovese Grosso grapes, producing between
1,200 and 3,000 bottles of excellent wine annually, crafted with the expertise of a renowned enologist from Montalcino. The 180 olive trees complete this authentic experience, yielding a limited quantity of premium extra-virgin olive oil for personal use each year.
