7 Bed House for sale
Citta della Pieve, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Full Description
In wonderful Umbria, an area in Tuscany, inside the the lovely medieval town of Città della Pieve, you can find this exclusive property consisting of a large villa dating from the 1700's, of both historic and artistic interest, sized about 2,130 square meters, as well as a park of about 1.5 hectares in area (with the possibility of additions), filled with plants dating from a similar historical period. The property is located within the Città della Pieve, about 2 kilometers from the historic center and near all the area's services. It features panoramic views of the surrounding countryside all the way to the territory of Monte Cetona and Lago Trasimeno.
The property consists of:
Villa: the principal building is a large villa in the country style, with ample internal space and high ceilings. Well maintained and almost wholly retaining its historical design, it keeps all the suggestive atmosphere of that time. Surface area totals around 1,410 square meters and another 270 square meters of cellars. Structurally, it is in good condition, although some refinishing and restoration work for the installations, plumbing and internal finishes is needed. The roof and the floors are in fair condition; they also need general reconditioning. The external facades are stone on the outside and brick and are in excellent condition, the internal flooring is mostly tile.
The villa is built over three outside levels. The rooms are elegant and have large original fireplaces in the style typical of the era, master bedrooms, guest rooms with ensuite bathrooms, and an impressive central staircase in smooth stone. In the left wing, you will find large rooms still used today for storage. We emphasize the cellars and the grotto (270 square meters) which have a striking effect given the area they cover extending (almost in size to each floor of the villa itself) and also the height of the ceilings. The overall sensation that you get at the entrance of the cellars first and then the grottos is one of travelling back in history, finding oneself immersed in an architectural masterpiece made of arches, niches and cross vaults for wine storage.
Outbuildings:
Situated on the left side of the villa, they extend for about 450 square meters and need a total restoration.
The Park:
The property features relevant land extending around the Villa and the outbuildings for about 1.5 hectares, of which part overlooks the building and used as the main entrance to the property, while the surrounding park is designed as a green area, driveways and old trees. It is possible to buy additional hectares of farming land some detached from the property.
