You can save yourself the 5,000-mile hassle of moving to Italy by buying a Tuscan villa that looks out onto Kennesaw Mountain — but it’ll cost you $2.7 million.
The 11,200-square-foot home at 683 Tarpley Road was crafted in the style of an old European home with exposed beams from the 18th century, said realtor Diane Tatum.

This place is more Italian than eating a bowl of panzanella while watching the “Sopranos.”
Don’t believe it?
The owner dubbed it “Villa de Cielo” (”cielo” means “heaven” in Italian) and then there’s the frescos, the terra cotta roof, the Ionic columns, Venetian plaster walls, travertine marble floors (heated in some bathrooms) and the two-story limestone fireplace.
Tatum said that’s probably what drew the Atlanta-filmed “MacGyver” to the property when the show was looking to film in Italy.
Sure, the inside with six bedrooms and as many bathrooms, is gorgeous but there’s 21 acres to explore.
There are fig trees, peach trees, Italian cypresses, water oaks and 200-year-old pines. And then there’s the view of Kennesaw Mountain, which certainly doesn’t hurt.
