Tuscan modernism overlooks Argentario’s fairways and lagoon

The Orbetello Lagoon unfolds beyond glass walls that seem almost to dissolve, the fairways of Argentario Golf Club rising beyond it through a haze of Mediterranean light. This contemporary villa, completed in 2019, occupies a ridge that commands both water and landscape with the quiet authority of architecture that knows its place and respects it.

The house speaks in the language of modern restraint: natural stone, dark green teak, expansive glazing that permits the surrounding world to become almost a continuation of the interior. Inside, a double height living space rises beneath a sculptural pendant light installation, while paired sofas in pale upholstery face one another across a dark timber table inlaid with chartreuse accent panels. Tawny wood planes the upper walls, creating a warm envelope around the space. Through the vast sliding glass apertures, the view becomes the focal point, unobstructed and commanding.

Outside, the architecture cascades down the slope as deliberately as the waterfall that connects the two swimming pools. Broad teak terraces extend in shallow steps toward the water features, where mature Mediterranean plantings create a private sanctuary. Mediterranean gardens frame the property, their silvery foliage and sculptural forms echoing the native landscape that rises beyond the terrace edge.

The villa commands views across the Tyrrhenian coast, positioning it among Tuscany’s most sought coastal properties. Electric heating with energy efficiency classification A_2_PLUS speaks to the thoughtfulness of its technical specification, though such matters recede before the elemental beauty of water, stone and light that defines the residence. Engel & Völkers offers the property through its international network.
