Full Description
This exceptional natural stone country house – a harmonious blend of traditional architecture and modern perspicuity - is located in the rolling hills between San Terenziano and Collazzone in Umbria, at one of the most impressive vantage points in the region. From its hilltop location, it offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views stretching across the expansive landscape to the picturesque town of Todi, which can be seen here from its most beautiful side.
The property was completely rebuilt in 2010 and combines the appeal of a classic Umbrian stone house with spacious, bright rooms and maximum energy efficiency. Thanks to a heat pump, geothermal system, photovoltaics and its own well, the house has been awarded energy class A+ – a rare quality feature in this region.
The interior design impresses with light-flooded rooms, clean lines and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. The open-plan living area comprises a spacious living room with fireplace and garden access, an elegant dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, also with direct access to the outdoors. A gallery, used as an office, floats above parts of the living and kitchen areas, extending this impressive living space. Directly in front of the living area is a spacious portico with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, perfect for al fresco dining and long summer evenings.
A hallway offers access to a guest room, bathroom with shower, laundry room and a storage room. From here, you can access the spacious master bedroom with an elegant en-suite bathroom and freestanding bathtub. Behind it is another room, currently used as a studio and also accessible independently from the garden.
An internal staircase – or a separate entrance from the garden – leads to an apartment on the upper floor with a private eat-in kitchen, bedroom with balcony and bathroom. Ideal for guests, family or as a separate living area.
A cellar extends beneath the entire day-area of the home (living room, kitchen, and dining area), offering a generous amount of versatile space. It is accessible both from an internal staircase and a convenient external entrance. With its spacious layout, it is ideal for storage, hobbies, or organizing household essentials.
The property comprises approximately 8500 m² of land with fruit trees, terraces, some vines with red and white grapes, and a well-maintained olive grove with around 180 trees. The (13 x 6 m) pool impresses with its spectacular location and south-west orientation, which guarantees unforgettable sunsets over the Tiber Valley.
The technical equipment is exceptional and makes the property almost self-sufficient: heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water, geothermal system, photovoltaics, solar, own well.
Despite its absolutely peaceful and panoramic location, the transport links are remarkably convenient: The nearest town with adequate infrastructure – restaurants, bar, pharmacy, supermarket – is only about 2 km away; Todi, with its historic old town, 15 km, Perugia and its airport 40 km; the art and culture metropolis of Florence ca. 180 km; Rome 150 km, and Siena 140 km. Within a radius of 30 km, there are other towns and attractions such as Montefalco (the wine town), Bevagna, Foligno, Assisi, Spoleto, Trevi and Spello.
The property therefore offers the perfect balance between a rural retreat and excellent access to the most important cities in central Italy.
A property for the most discerning tastes, this country house combines traditional stone architecture, modern openness, spectacular views, sustainable technology and a location that perfectly combines tranquillity and connectivity.
A refuge for people who appreciate beauty, quality and nature in equal measure – and who want to experience the Italian way of life with comfort and authenticity.
