Minimalism in Stone: A Sanctuary in the Tuscan Countryside | Wildfarm Volterra

ByMyProperty Life

Tucked away in the rolling hills near Volterra, Wildfarm Volterra is a striking fusion of rustic tradition and contemporary minimalism. Designed by Studio Milani, this countryside retreat transforms an old rural stone unit into a refined sanctuary, where travertine, corten steel, and glass connect old and new. The house unfolds as a composition of monolithic volumes, framed by olive trees, woodland, and distant sea views. With panoramic corten-framed windows, an infinity pool, and a garden that changes with the seasons, this Tuscan home redefines modern rural living. Discover how architecture, landscape, and light come together in perfect harmony.
