Full Description: A medieval watch tower situated in the valley of Morra, set in an inhabited and recently restored rural hamlet below an oak-wooded area with lovely views. Easy access by a good tarmac road and within walking distance of the village of Morra, with shops, bars, schools and churches, and close to the Tuscan border and only a short drive from Cortona, 30 minutes, or Citta di Castello, 12 minutes.
Torre Quarata could be converted into a five storey opulent baronial mansion with a double height galleried entrance hall, reception rooms, and perhaps ten double, en-suite, bedrooms.
A swimming pool, landscaping, gardens, a drawbridge and a moat formed by the diversion of the adjacent stream will complete the reality of this rare opportunity to purchase this dream building.
This property could become the basis for an investment vehicle whereby perhaps fifty shares could become available in the property company to be formed, to provide the opportunity to own full rights of usage of the entire estate, buildings and grounds for weekly periods, to like-minded partners with artistic and aesthetic personalities who can look forward to the luxury of a holiday with friends and family in their own "castle" without having the sole responsibility of undertaking the total project and the ongoing maintenance. A unique opportunity to purchase a lifetime of elegant living, a week, or so, at a time. Full title, and equal membership of the management company, could be conferred on all purchasers.
If the idea of arriving at your fairy tale castle with a group of friends for a week's idyllic occupation of your country estate; which is all prepared, cleaned and maintained to a very high standard; and relaxing in the gardens and/or by the pool side or exploring the beautiful countryside and surrounding medieval cities; and dining & wining, in, or out, with or without attendant service; and leaving, secure in the knowledge that the professional staff are there to continue with their high level of maintenance to prepare this magnificent property for your next visit; appeals to you, then perhaps you need to book an appointment to view and look in detail at the 18 page estimate of costs for proposed works as well as the detailed drawings and answers to several dozen FAQ's.

Costumed medieval processions and displays are part of the traditional folk-law and way of life in this and the adjacent valleys, Volterrano, Citta' di Castello, Umbertide, Cortona and Montone all have their festivals at Christmas, Easter and summer. The arts are catered for with galleries in Citta' di Castello, museums in Montone and Cortona, a film festival in Umbertide, food and wine displays at various vineyards in the area and, right on the doorstep the choral society of Morra is world famous for their singing.
This property is now the worst "house" in what has now become one of the best "streets" in the area, buying advice that your granny should have imparted to you long ago. As almost the last un-restored building amongst a small group of elegantly appointed and recently rebuilt properties, the value of this medieval tower can only increase, and as the dollar and the pound continue their downward slide this may well be an ideal time to invest in Europroperty.
