4 Bed Country House for sale
Castiglione del Lago, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Full Description
Set among the gentle hills of the sought-after lake district between Lake Trasimeno and Lake Chiusi, this charming country house enjoys wide open views and an atmosphere of authentic Umbrian beauty, while offering the comfort of a home ready to move into.
The property has been lived in and carefully maintained for around 25 years. It serves as the home, workshop and studio of a well-known sculptor. Many of her creations can still be admired in the garden today and lend the property a special artistic atmosphere. The inspiration drawn from this extraordinary place is strikingly reflected in the sculptures. The house presents warm, welcoming interiors with traditional character blended with practical, comfortable spaces. Natural light, panoramic openings and refined yet understated finishes create an inviting setting throughout the house, perfectly suited both as a private residence and as a charming home for entertaining family and friends.
The main house has two floors. The ground floor opens onto an entrance hall with guest toilet, leading into a spacious open-plan living area with fireplace and open kitchen, designed as the heart of the home. Adjacent to the living space is a large enclosed porch framed by wide glass windows, allowing the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior in every season. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where a study with double exposure opens onto both the loggia and the panoramic terrace. This level also includes three bedrooms and a bathroom.
An independent annex building is used as a self-contained guest apartment with living room, kitchenette, bedroom with mezzanine level and bathroom. The property also includes a spacious underground garage of approximately 90 m² and a separate wooden building with a floor area of approx. 30 m² — ideal as a studio, workshop, or inspiring workspace.
The surrounding land covers ca. 9,000 m² and is gently contoured, offering an attractive yet manageable outdoor setting. It is fully fenced and has three entrance gates. A small swimming pool, three rows of vines and some 160 olive trees enhance the authentic atmosphere of the estate and contribute to its distinctly Umbrian character.
